MEMORANDUM

TO: 8. Kirk February 7, 1986

City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engtneer

SUBJECT: Extension of Curb at 1766 Western Orive - Publle Works
Committee - February 4, 1986

Recommendation:

That an asphalt curb be installed on the south side of Lamprey
Avenue to Join the existing concrete curb with the driveway Into the
property and that the entire curb from the corner to the driveway be
painted yellow to prevent parking with the cost of approximately
$500.00 to be taken from unallocated funds In the Public Works Budget.

Background and Comments:

The owner of this property has had a perpetual problem with
school children cutting across the corner and this was dealt with In
past years by placing a limestone surtace across the corner. A
concrete curb extends part way from the Intersection and with this
curb the road is not wide enough to allow parking without Interfering
with traffic. However, recently cars have been parking at thls
Intersection by driving across the boulevard and even backing In

behind the partial curb.

The Committee wishes to prohibit this parking In order to
protect the boulevard. However, placing parking signs by themselves
wiftl not necessarily solve the problem as drivers can still back In
behind the signs. The Committee teels that an extension of the curb
Is needed to solve this problem. At the same time, there Is some
breakup of the edge of the pavement and this would have to be repalred
prior to Installation of the curb.

Once the curb is Installed there ts the need for a palnted

yellow curb to prohibit parking due to the narrow dth of the V4
ti wo”
