O8 August, 1984

Mr. Chong
Assistant Engineer
City of Port Coquitiam

I am writing with respect to the conversation which took place at
1916 Suffolk Avenue on August 8, 1984. at 11:30 a.m. At that time we discussed
the filling of certain. ditches, precisely that at the residential area on the
west side of Oxford, between Suffolk Avenue and Kern's Chevrolet. As per
the original proposal of paving and curbing, we were in agreement fully.
However, under = certain budget-cuc the new proposal of filling in the ditches
with gravel only WITHOUT curbes. or pavement is strongly cpposed. It is
opposed by myself and Mr. Klassen and Mr. Hamilton. The reasons I shall
state as fs5llows:

Ll. Vehicles. will spread dust and gravel over the aforementioned
residential properties.

2. Vehicles will have the opportunity to drive over said properties,
causing, damage to lawns, fences, houses, etc.

3e Maintenance would be far greater under the new proposal than
even at the present time.

These: are the immediate hazards that come to mind. As tax-paying
residents and avid supporters. of Port Coquitlam City Council, we understand
the preblems of present finances. However, we feel that a half way effort
will not solve our problems, ones that we have had t0 contend with for
several years now, it may even cause more.

The main point of this issue if simply that the dizches should be done
Properly to conform with the remainder of the street. .

If these renovations cannot be done properly at this time, consideration
should be given soonesc possible priority. .

Please be advised that position on this matter has been discussed in
full with Mr. Hamilron (who is unfortunately away on vacation) and Mr. Klassen
and they are both very strongly in agreement with myself on this issue, as

owners of the proverties. affecred by these ditches.
