You will ncte by the above that Flint - Prairie and Prairie - Chester now fall into the major area. This is in anticipation of the Lougheed expansion. Detail drawings of the above are completed. Engineering advise that final costings will be completed prior to month end. Because land acquisition is involved in some areas I would propose to make a detailed presentation to Council - in committee - prior to month end, so thet we could establish councils priorities and begin construction. The sum of $100,000 is available in the budget for major road construction and it would appear that these critical areas could be proceeded with - at least in part.

TERS, This commitee is desirous of dottmg.Council's bidding however, we would ask for your further guidance. We haYe~had no public police or school officials request that we improve, light, or otherwise indicate a particular crossing because such signs do have to be ordered and thexe Would members of council be kind engough to™f priorities and if possible the dissatisfaction witi™éhe present crossing that makes it stand out from all the others within the Ci be pleased to then make specific recommendations if it is coun spend money.

7. Major Road Study

Engineering have advised that my request for a major internal road study will be completed by mid - October. A great deal of work has gone into this already. As council is aware in the last 5 years very very little has been done to upgrade our road systems and it is very evident that a planned programme of capital expenditure is inevitable. This can either be in the form of a 5 year programme or if desired in tie form of major borrowing if accepted by public vote. In any event the entire study including costing and engineering priorities is expected soon.

8. Local Improvement Bylaw

Victoria has accepted finalized Bylaw and administration advise that the list of priorities for local improvements have been established. This list should be available on Monday September 9th, 1974 so everyone can see their priority number. Publishing of expected jobs will take place immediately. This includes Wellington Street.
