MEMORANDUM MAR 12 1984

TO: Mr. BR. Kirk DATE: March 8, 1984 City Administrator :

FROM: W. Brown Director of Community Planning

SUBJECT: Arts Centre Location

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council designate 2230, 22356, and 2252 Kingsway Avenue for use as a future arts centre, and that a back up site composed of lofts recently acquired for reconstructing the Kingsway Bridge crossing-Coquitiam River be designated as the backup site.

COMMENTS:

City Council in hearing a delegation about the potential of locating a community art centre in Port Coquitlam requested the Planning Committee review potential sites. The Planning Committee in a joint meeting with the Recreation Committee reviewed a number of potential locations surrounding downtown Port Coquittam,. The preferred location from that meeting is the parcel of City owned land along Kingsway immediately north of downtown.

The reason for the Committees preferring this location is its size and immediate proximity to downtown businesses.
