THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM JUL 2 1 1986

TO: B. Kirk July 11, 1986
City Administrator

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

SUBJECT: Parking on Cornwall Avenue - Public Works Committee -
July 8, 1986

Recommendation:

That parking be prohibited along the east side of Cornwal |
Drive adjacent to Evergreen Park as shown on the attached sketch.

Background and Comments:

Residents of Cornwall Orive have requested that the City look
at the parking problem adjacent to Evergreen Park. Parking for
organized team sports in the park takes place on street all around the
park. This type of parking is always undesirable because of the
danger of a child running off the playground between parked cars and
being obscured from drivers on the street. Unfortunately there is no
alternative parking avallable at Evergreen Park.

The parking along Cornwall itself ts not only dangerous but Its
also Inconvenient to the residents of the street because the street
not wide enough for two lanes of traffic plus two lanes of parking.

Although the Committee recognizes that on busy days some of
this parking might be diverted to other residential streets, the
Committee has agreed to the elimination of parking on the portion of
Cornwall adjacent to the park fin order to Improve the safety for
children and remove the bottleneck for the residents.
