THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO: City Administrator August 6, 1987

FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Bicycle Baffles at Norfolk Street = Public Works
Committee August 4, 1987 |

Recommendation:

That bicycle baffles be installed at the south end of the
walkway leading onto Norfolk Street and the estimated cost of
$800 be taken from the unallocated funds in the Public Works
Budget.

Background and Comments:

The walkway at the north end of Norfoik Street intersects
the street at an angle, with visibility being restricted by a
board fence. The waikway Is used extensively by cyclists and
the Committee received a complaint from one cyclist who had
been struck by another cyclist speeding around the angle at the

end of the walkway.

Although bicycle baffles are usually reserved for
locations where a walkway enters a busy street, the Committee
felt that a barrier would be justified in this case to protect
pedestrians and cyclists from being struck by cyclists.
