Metro I jotors

+

A request has been received by Mike McKone, the
manager, of Metro Motors, to remove the tall crees
from the median on the Lougheed Highway. They block
the view of traffic going east, and therefore people
are unable to see his display of cars.
The committee felt that the trees should be left, but
before taking the recommendation to council, various
items would first be investigated:
the annual cost of maintenance
removal of tall trees
replacing the area with shru'os

The other question that will be look d at is whether
the highways department would have to be approached
in order to remove the trees„due to the fact that

they initially planted them.
Recommendation

That we do not remove the trees from the median on
Lougheed Highway.

Item No. 2

Weed Control

Attached please find a report from the Parks Superintendent on the areas of weed control
in our City
Parks. The school fields have heavy counts,
as they
did when we took them over. The only way to solve
this would to be to re-do the soccer fields, and plant
the correct grass seed. However,
Bram does not feel

k&i i

we

have a major weed problem.

The committee however, did
that a more systematic method of looki.ng atrequest
weed counts be implemented
in the future. The Parks Superintendent presently
checks the weed count twice a year.

ilia %II,lf

Recorrunendation:

That a more systematic method of grading the weed
growth on grass areas be developed and utilized.
