THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM : RE: P.W.C. Report - ~2- Dec. 17, 1980

i

not certain that Kingsway will remain a secondary highway after the Mary Hill By-Pass is completed and therefore feel it is important to get cost sharing as soon as possible.

The type of construction we would anticipate on this

section of road would be storm sewer to fill in the ditches and

then construction of a wide two=lane road without curbs. This

would be done in order to not require the relocation of poles on both sides of the road at this time. ‘This is a Development Cost Charge project so, in addition to the Department of Highways share, we could also cover a good portion of the costs through development cost charges. Our estimates are as. follows:

me Total Cost $655,000.00 4 : Less: Department of Highways Share 327,500.00 Pa Less: Development Cost Charge

_— : Contribution 200,000.00

Leaving: City Share . | $127,500.00 |

The Committee recognizes that the 1981 Budget will be very tight and’ that some projects may have to be cancelled. However, the Committee recommends that we make application to Department of Highways for cost Sharing on this project and that the consideration of which projects actually go ahead would be ae left for Budget discussions.

Respectfully submitted,

r.E. Peters, City Engineer
