TO: B. Kirk June 18, 1986

City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Revision to Subdivision Bylaw - Public Works =- June 17, 1986

Recommendation:

. That the City Subdivision Bylaw to amended to change the colour
of standard street lighting from green to blue for all new
subdivisions and that the existing City street Iights also be
gradually converted to blue through the annual repainting program.

Background and Comments:

The City has now allowed blue street I|ighting to be Installed
along Shaughnessy Street as part of the annual re-palnting program for
1986. This has turned out to be an attractive change and the City now
has a request from a major developer to allow the Installation of blue
street lights within his subdiviston. However, the City Subdivision
bylaw requires that the lights be palnted green.

The Committee would like to see blue used throughout the City
but recognizes that there wil! be a mix of colors in some parts of the
City where In fill development takes place. The City has an annual

repainting progran of about 100 poles per year In order to keep the
poles fooking attractive and rust free. Therefore It Is anticipated
that the entire City could be covered In approximately 7 year.
