boulevards were cleared to the normal standard of a City
street, there would be no problem whatsoever. These hedges are
planted illegally and the City could remove them to improve the
visibility. If the City were to install a sidewalk along one
side, the hedges would have to be removed in any case. The
City would find it hard to justify installing a sidewalk out of
General Revenue at this location when there are so many other
deserving streets which need sidewalks. However, if the
residents are prepared to support a Local Improvement: sidewalk
construction, the Committee recommends that it be considered by
the City. Local Improvements would cost approximately $22,000
of which the residents’ would pay about $2,000. The actual
charge per property would be $27.06 per year on the side with
the sidewalk or $13.86 per year on the opposite side of. the
street. The Committee also recommends that the City approach
the owners asking:them to let us’ remove the hedges and. trim the
trees: in- such. a way that. visibility would be improved... We
could. replant the hedges back on the owner's property line. so
that he would continue ‘to: have his privacy. The committee:.is.
not in favour of reducing the speed. limit or of. closing the.
road. . se = .
