Re: Department of Highways - Lougheed Highway Widening

Attached for information please find copies of correspondence
dated March 26th, 1974 and April lOth, 1974. The Committee makes the
following recommendations for Council's consideration.

i. The City agree to pay the appropriate share of stree.
lighting on the Lougheed Highway from Westwood to Oxford. This share
. would be consistent with the information outlined in the Department of

Highways letter of April 10th, 1974,

2. The Committee recommends that the necessary traffic, signal
ducts be installed as part of the highway widening project at the Oxford
and Coast Meridian intersections. If under existing Department of Highway
policy it will be necessary for the City to share in the cost of installing
these ducts, the Committee would recommend that the City so indicate.

3. The Department of Highways have recommended that Jervis and
Lancaster Street north of the Lougheed Highway be closed at the north
boundary of the Lougheed Highway. Previously the City Suggested that this
would be satisfactory providing Shaftsbury Avenue would be constructed from
Jervis to Hastings. It is now apparent that because two existing businesses
at Jervis and at Lancaster have no access to the highway that access to these
businesses will be extremely difficult and circuitous to say the least.
Because these businesses have no access to the Lougheed Highway the Committee
recommends that the Department of Highways be requested to place right turn in,
right tura out access at Jervis Street and Lancaster Street similiar to that
provided at Raleigh Street and that the Department of Highways be advised
that if this request is acceded to it will not be necesary to construct
Shaftsbury Avenue. The Committee also recommends that the lane access to
the highway between Raleigh and Jervis Streets be maintained.
