Dear Sirs:

RE: RAILWAY REQUEST TO REMOVE 1958 SLOW ORDER 5
APPROACH TO WESTWOOD ST., MILEAGE 112.80 CASCADE
SUBD. (CPL) |

On Dec. 5, 1991, Canadian Pacific made application to the Minister
to remove an old 15 mph speed restriction on the east approach to
the above-noted crossing, with copy provided to Mr. D.A. Fraser of
McELhanney Engineering( copy attached).

This speed restriction was placed in 1958 when the old passenger

station was located between the crossing and the bridge and when
trains stopped at the station and caused the gates to lower and
block traffic on the roadway.

When the crossing was widened last year as authorized by Order
1990-R-666 dated Nov. 16, 1990, the Railway installed modern
constant warning time circuits and now wish to have this old 15 mph
speed restriction removed so that the east approach will be the

same as the west which has. been 40 mph since 1956.

Pa

Could you kindly advise if your municipality has any objections to
this proposed increase in speed for westward trains approaching the

crossing.
