THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM
- 3-

The Committee reconfirmed that Paula Place is intended
to be a cul-de-sac in the future and that the present access
through Paula Place is a temporary access until development of
the Genstar property. As such, the Committee would not like to
see the road paved at this time. Instead, the Works & Utilities
Superintendent will be instructed to keep the road graded so
that the large potholes do not develop.

The Committee also did not recommend the installation
of street lights along this road sinee the majority uf the
activities at school take place during daylight hours and since
it would require the installation of steel poles and underground
wiring for street lighting which again would make the road appear
to be & permanert road.

Therefore, the recommendation from the Committee is
that the road be graded more frequently But that we do noe pave
or install street lights.

ITEM IV

Re: Water Standing on Driveways on Prairie Avenue

Alderman Gates had requested through Council that the
Committee consider the problem of water standing on dips in
the sidewalk along Prairie Avenue where formerly there were

driveway crossings which have now been closed. This ponding
water on the sidewalk is not only a nuisance but also a safety
hazard in the winter when the water could freeze.

‘The solution to the problem would be to break out
the sections of sidewalk which are involved and to reconstruct
the sidewalk to a uniform level. There are three locations
involved und the total cost would be less than $800.00.

The Committee recommends that this work be done when

time permits out of the sidewalk maintenance fund.
ITEM V
Re: Parking on Bedford

The parking situation on Bedford Street has been to
Council several times and Council is aware of the problem of
insufficiant space along the street. Part of the problem is
the parking of large tow trucks on the west side of the street
in such a way that customers for the retail establishments must
double park.
