February 14,

Mr, V. Borch,
City Engineer,
2272 McAllister
Port Coquitian,

Dear Hr. Borch:
Linceln Avenue

In our review of Rte. 7 Lougheed and {ta role and in our
consideration of the proposed shoppirg centers at Shaughnessy and at
Pinetree Way and in looking at development trends North of Rte. 7, it
is evident that additional local major urban street capacity in the
East West axis is essential. It was envisaged that Lincoln Avenue from
Coast Meridian west across Coquitlam River to a new major street north
of Glen Drive would fill this role. Under current policies we would be
able ta recommend that che Department participate financially in the
cost of the bridge structure over the Coquitlam River.

We are at the point where it is most desirable that
Council express its position on this point so that further planning
and deaign can proceed,

May I please have your views,

Yours truly,

MGEstu
M. G. Elston,
Senior Planning Engineer.

RE: Sign Shop Report

In this report I will try and point out the advantages of having our ow sign shop vith
regard to the convenience and financial benefits, Although sone of the financial benefits

will take a couple of yeara to the point whers we will benefit financially, the end result
will be that we will have s Sign Shop and FEquipeent.

Due to the problem of waiting for sims after the order has been Placed, we always find
ourselves aking up temporary signs etc., which is time and Honey spent for something that
we will discard when the proper signs arrive, and to ay thinking, this is a waste.

Also with a fully equipped sign shop, we will be able to produce any signs that we will
require. I feel that we will aleo be able to maintain our existing signs better if ve can
do thie in our own shop.

Necessary Equipment needed will be: Drawieg lamp $50.00
Cutting board 405.00

Carbon arc 450.00

Val 6 3'xh" Vac applicator 1813.35

Shop renovation charges 700.00

$3715.35

Speed rack 3 605.00
Vae table 9.0) fe
4110.00

Total Cost $ 4228.35

The following is a list of comparisons as to sign costs and Municipalities that are eajoying
an equipped Sign Shop.

All metal sign backs priced here are made of .080 Aluninus.
