THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO R. Kirk, July 7, 1988
ty Administrator

FROM: -M. Chong, P. Eng.-,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Traffic Control! on Gillespie Place
(Public Works Committee Meeting June 28, 1988)

Recommendation:

That a 30 kph speed ftimit be established for Gillespie
Place from Coast Meridian Road to the end of the cul-de-sac and
that the City Clerk be Instructed to amend the Traffic Bylaw to
reflect this decision.

Backqround and Comments:

The attached letter from Mr. Finn (spokesperson for the
Gillespie Place residents) summarizes their concerns. The
Public Works Committee has met collectively with the residents
of Gillespie and Bennie Places, and church officials of the
Northside Chapel to hear each side of the story. While the
committee is still working with the Church to bring this matter
to a satisfactory resolve, a case can be made at this time to
regulate the speed o1 vehicles using Gillespie Place. The
volume of traffic and the number of driveways combined with the
peor sight distance at the entrance to the Church property
justifies the proposal to establish a 30 kph speed limit for
this cul-de-sac.
