THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

REPORT TO COUNCIL

TO: BR. Kirk DATE: July 8, 1993
City Administrator

FROM: LR. Zahynacz, P. Eng., FILE: PWC
City Engineer

SUBJECT: TEMPORARY ACCESS ROAD - DEVELOPMENT ON
COQUITLAM INDIAN RESERVE #2

The purpose of this report is to expand on the pro’s and con’s of Access Route No. 3 as
described in the report from the undersigned to the City Administrator dated June 24, 1993 on
the temporary access to the Coquitlam Indian Reserve #2.

At a meeting held June 6, 1993 with Mayor Traboulay, Chris Fielding from Shaughnessy Woods
and the undersigned, it was noted that residents in Shaughnessy Woods prefer Access Route #3
rather than Access Route #5 (Shaughnessy Street from Mary Hill Road).

The following is a list of advantages and disadvantages for Access Route #3:

Advantages

1) There are no residences located beside the temporary access road.

2) There is about 250 feet separation between the new access road and
Shaughnessy Woods and the noise of the trucks would be greatly reduced.

3) Trucks would not have to cross Nacht Avenue.

Disadvantages

1) The access route #3 would go across the existing City trail between Mary Hill
Road and Shaughnessy, and there would be limited visibility at this crossing.

2) There would be three tall Cedar plus twelve smaller Maple and Cedar trees
that would have to be removed.

3) There is both a horizontal curve and a vertical curve in Mary Hill Road
approximately 50 metres north of the proposed intersection and some trees
and brush would have to be removed along the west side along Mary Hill
Road to improve the safe sight distance.

Residents located on Mary Hill Road adjacent to this intersection would be
negatively affected.
