SUBJECT: Estimate for Removal of Royal Bank Building -
Public Works Committee, Tuesday, March 15th, 1983

RECOMMENDATLON:

_ That Council receive this report for information and
the estimated cost for removal of the Royal Bank Building and
widening of. the road be cons idered_ in the 1984 Provisional

Budget.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

As a result of delegations from the merchants,
Council asked the Public Works Committee to consider the cost
of removing the Royal Bank Building. We have. received a firm
quotation. from a contractor in the .amount of $3,000 for
demolition and removal of the old building. In addition to
that, we estimate that the cost of widening Elgin Avenue is
about $95,000 including the provision of a new watermain which.
is necessary prior to the road being repaved.

Funds ‘are not available in. the 1983 budget. The
Committee sees no necessity for the widening of Elain Avenue in
1983 in any. case. .It is anticipated that the. Legion
construction will result in’ the closure of the ramp from
‘Kingsway. to Shaughnessy and this in itself will _improve the
traffic flow cat the intersection.
