MARY HILL BY-PASS WIDENING

A review of the Mary Hill By-Pass Functional Design Study was done with
comments listed below.

A} Section 3.2.4. Road Improvement Needs:

1)

Figure 3.2 shows the future Fremont/Lougheed intersection. This
intersection is not mentioned anywhere in the main body of the
report. Fremont is in the future Planned road network with the
possibility of being in place in the next five to ten years. A
request to the Ministry should be made to include a full four-way
intersection in their final design. The Fremont leg should be
constructed to at least the curb returns complete with signal light
pre~ducting as is noted in section 4.7.3 (By-Pass/Lougheed Hwy.)
This work couid be done with little or no property acquisition at
this time as there already is an access to Fremont at this location.

Figure 3.2 also shows Coast Meridian (North Side) closed at the
By-Pass. This option may be viable if there was. a connection
between Broadway and Coast Meridian at this time. Hamilton and
Associates (Ramsey Property Consultant) has indicated that no
connection from Kingsway to Coast Meridian is planned. With no
other street in place this would leave Coast Meridian as a long
cul-de-sac road. Port Coquitlam subdivision servicing bylaw states
mo cul-de-sac is to be longer that 150m if no emergency access is
in place. The Ministry should provide one of the following:
Provide emergency access to Coast Meridian from the By-Pass. b)
leave Coast Meridian as a Right In/Right Out only or c) fully
Signalize the intersection. *Note: This intersection was
pre-ducted for signals in 1980.
