BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The above recommendations have resulted from the discussion of a number of
requests submitted to the Public Works Traffic Subcomnittee at their meeting
cf May 2, 1990.

The concerns expressed with respect to the Citadel/Colonial intersection
related to the speed of vehicles, particularly trucks, in the playground speed
zone adjacent to the park as well as the lack cf a crosswalk for people to
cross Citadel to get to the park. A four way stop was also requested at this
intersection; however, the Committee felt that this was not warranted, and
that more enforzement of the speed zone should be done. The Committee also
agreed with the crosswalk request.

The keep right warning signs in the lane serving 915 Citadel had been
requested by the resident because of fencing adjacent to the right angled bend
in the lane which obstructs the view around the corner. The Committee felt
that while it should be obvious to keep right in these circumstances that the
warning signs would help. Because these are not regulatory signs the Traffic
Bylaw would not have to be amended to cover these.

The Committee agreed with the requests of several residents in the vicinity of
Taylor Street that a 30 kmh playground speed zone should be established on
Taylor across Thompson Park, and that the side streets leading to the
playground zone on Pooley at Kilmer School should have signs warning of the
speed zone on Pooley. The residents have also petitioned the Committee to
install a four way stop at the intersection of Taylor at Langan. The
Committee has requested a traffic study of this prior to making a
recommendation to Council in this matter.

The three stop signs recommended for Donald Street meet the necessary
warrants, and the two on Palisades Crescent and Paladin Terrace have been
prepaid by the developer as a condition of subdivision approval.

The request to install no parking signs in the lanes serving 750 Prairie and
1336 Pitt River Road came from the Fire Department who rely on these lanes for
fire access. Although the Traffic Bylaw prohibits parking in lanes in any
case, the Committee felt that because these particular lanes were essential
for fire access purposes they should be signed as requested.
