SUBJECT: © Harbour Drive Road Closure = °.” oo oo Hg
aaa Works. and Services Committee, November’ 20th, 1984 ©

RECOMMENDATION:

. . That Harbour Drive be closed at the culvert leading to the
drainage pump station and the culvert be removed before the winter
flooding period and that any traffic be diverted over the Mary Hill
Bypass.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

; The 1984 Budget makes provision for the removal of the
Harbour Orive culvert in. order to improve the drainage in the
industrial area. Harbour Drive is due to be closed completely at the
Mary Hill Bypass once this Bypass is opened. Because the paving of
the Bypass has been delayed until the spring, we are faced with
another winter, of poor drainage in the industrial area unless we take
steps to close Harbour Drive and divert traffic over the gravel-
surfaced S8ypass. ,

We have checked with the Dept. of Highways and they have no
objections to’ us using this unfinished road provided that we undertake
to grado it when necessary.

The closure of Harbour Drive will create no great hardship
tor the residents of that area. There is not much traffic on it now
and any traffic that does use it will not find the Bypass to be
significantly out of the way. The main access to the area is still

Pitt River Road. vy, F
