ITEM I : A .

Re: B.C. Hydro Transit Centre

Further to the memorandum to the Mayor and Council
Gated June 7th, 1976, a copy of which is attached hereto, this
report is to outline developments which have taken place relating
to proposed improvements to Kingsway adjacent to the B.C. Hydro
Transit Centre property. .

Several applications for tentative subdivision approval
for a variety of proposed developments have been considered and
processed for the subject property since early in 1974, In 1975
B.C. Hydro Transit became interested in acquiring a 15 acre L-shaped
parcel. Tentative subdivision approval was provided and early in
1976 the subdivision creating the 15 acre parcel was approved and
registered. The significant features of the subdivision approval
relating to offsite improvements on Kingsway were a 48-inch storm
sewer installation on Kingsway, a sanitary sewer installation on
Kingsway, and road widening, curb and gutter and boulevard constr-
uction along the east and northeast sides of Kingsway. These
requirements totalled approximately $120,000.00. At no time was
it suggested that any portion of Kingsway be. completely rebuilt.

Subsequently, B.C. Hydro's consulting engineers were
directed to proceed with the design of offsite and onsite services.
Tt became apparent because of the nature of the facility to be
developed that some reconsideration of the offsite servicing would
be required. With the approval of the Public Works Committee the
City's Traffic Consultant, 2%. Kuun, was engaged to review all
aspects of the project's impact on Kingsway particuarly in relation
to the City's future traffic needs. Mr. Kuun's report dated May
10th, 1976 is attached as well as a print of his Drawing 031-P2.
As mentioned, Mr. Kuun has taken into account the implications of
the proposed B.C. Hydro Transit Operation as well as the City's
‘present and future traffic requirements on Kingsway.
