MEMORANDUM MAR 12 1984

TO: Mr. BR. Kirk DATE: March 8, 1984
City Administrator :

FROM: W. Brown
Director of Community Planning

SUBJECT: Arts Centre Location

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council designate 2230, 22356, and
2252 Kingsway Avenue for use as a future arts
centre, and that a back up site composed of
lofts recently acquired for reconstructing the
Kingsway Bridge crossing-Coquitiam River be
designated as the backup site.

COMMENTS:

City Council in hearing a delegation about the potential of
locating a community art centre in Port Coquitlam requested the
Planning Committee review potential sites. The Planning
Committee in a joint meeting with the Recreation Committee
reviewed a number of potential locations surrounding downtown
Port Coquittam,. The preferred location from that meeting is
the parcel of City owned land along Kingsway immediately north
of downtown.

The reason for the Committees preferring this location is its
size and immediate proximity to downtown businesses.
