Consolidation of the two section: of Agpie Park into one useable area.
The meeting discussed the need for a Lacrosse Box on the north side

of the City and the appropriate lecation for the box. It was agreed that Aggie

7

Park was the most suitable location if it were possible to close Coquitlam
Avenue, between Chester and Flint and include this area into the park. This
closure will consolidate the two sections of Aggie park into a very useable
park area. The increased traffic on Coquitlam Avenue has nade it unsafe for
children to use the Mini park.

Recomrendation: That the Coquitlam Avenue between Chester Avenue

and Flint Avenue be closed te traffic; that this area be included in the Aggie
Park grounds and eventually be the home of another lacrosse box for the City

of Port Coquitlan,
