THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

City Engineer

Additional Parking for Downtown

The Public Works Committee considered a request of Council
to examine the possibility of tearing down the City-owned house
just east of the No. 1 Fire Hall and converting the Property to
parking. The Committee estimates a rough cost of $5,000 to
prepare the site and presumably a rezoning bylaw would also be
required.

The Committee requested that the information be referred
to you to see whether our agreements with merchants for rented
retail parking spaces require that we replace the Spaces we
removed from the Fire Hall parking lot when the new road was put
through. Do we still have enough off-street spaces available
to cover all those that have been rented to the merchants?

For your information we have received representation from
merchants requesting that we create more on-street parking syaces
by creating angle parking along some of the downtown streets,

We will be looking at this from an Engineering point of view
later in the vear. _Also attached is a letter concerning the need
for long term spaces in the City which has yet to be considered
by the Public Works Committec.
