That the City of Port Coquitlam accept the proposed long term road pattem presented in a letter
from the Ministry of Transportation & Highways, dated May 13, 1991 for the Mary Hill Bypass,
Coast Meridian Road and Kingsway Avenue.

The Ministry of Transportation & Highways in a report prepared by N.D. Lea, Consultants,
dated July, 1990, proposed to close Coast Meridian Road, north of the Mary Hill Bypass by
creating a cul-de-sac on Coast Meridian Road.

On January 4, 1991, Council adopted a resolution opposing the creation of a cul-de-sac on
Coast Meridia Road, north of Mary Hill Bypass.

After consultation between City Staff and the Ministry of Transportation & Highways staff, plus

input from local businesses, the Ministry of Transportation & Highways have reconsidered their
position and have proposed the following:

1. To keep the intersection of Coast Meridian Road and Mary Hill Bypass as a four
way intersection (status quo) at this time.

In the future, if traffic safety considerations require changes, a removable barrier
would be placed along Mary Hill Bypass median. This would allow a right tum in
and a right turn out to Coast Meridian Road on the north end and the south side of
the Mary Hill Bypass. |

Rather than constructing a frontage road in the future, north of the Mary Hill
Bypass, between Coast Meridian Road and Kingsway, the intersection of Coast
Meridian Road & Kingsway would be reconstructed to accommodate the turns of
large trucks. -

The proposed long term road pattern is shown on the attached revised figure 3.6, dated May 17,
1991.
