On January 14, 1991, the Council adopted a resolution opposing the creation of a cul-de-sac on
Coast Meridian Road just north of the Mary Hill Bypass; this resolution was forwarded to the —
Ministry of Transportation & Highways. : | oe

Since that time, there has been discussion between the Port Coquitlam Engineering Department
and the Ministry of Transportation & Highways and there has been strong oppostion to the _
“proposed cul-de-sac from businesses in the area. | | SO
The Ministry of Transpurtation & Highways have reconsidered their position and have decided
to keep the itersection of Coast Meridian Road and Mary Hill Bypass as it is right now; inthe =~
future, if traffic safety warrants changes, a removable barrier can be placed along the Mary. Hill

Bypass median. |
