OUR FiLe MEMORANDUM

To: Alderman P,F. Ranger, Chatrman Publte Works Commit ttee March 9th, 1972.

From: V.G. Borch, P, Eng., City Engineer. ee: Alderman E.W. Me Lhett, Ceputy

Chairman Publie Yorks Covmet i tee,

te: Mary Bill Rood.

Thies memorandum will serve as a report outlining the investigations
which this department has undertaken so that we can instruct B.C. Bydro what
vepatre to Mary Hill Road are necessary, as a result of their underground
cable installation last year. It te my uiderstanding that the Municipal Council
felt strongly that B.C. Hydro should be requtred to recap the entire width of
Pavement on Mary HtLl Road adjacent to their underground eable tnatallation.

Our inves tigutions have indicated tnzat the existing base on this area of Mary
Hitt Road ts unsatisfactory to a degree that recaoping the entire width would
not prevent future breck up, particularly sinee this street has been designated
as a Truck Route. It would be my recommendation that B.C. Hydro be required

to repair the trench area plus the areas adjacent to the trench that have started
to erack and that thts work only be accepted tf tt is completed tn a careful
workman like manner. Once this ts completed by B.C. Hydro there will be areas

on Mary Hill Road, outside the trench area which will break up. These areas

as they break up should be repaired in a thorough and permanent manner, Hopefully
in about five years time the worst areas will have been looked after, at which
time I think it vould appropriate to consider the reeapping of Mary Hill Road.

A further comment which ts not related to B.C. kydro's inetallation
~ I think the sane approach could be used for Mary Hill Road south of Pitt River

Road.
Respectfully buh

V.G. Borch, P. Eng.,
City Engineer.
