Re: Mary Hill By-Pass Construction

Representatives of the Ministry of Highways and of
C.B.A. Engineering were in to see me about the first stage
construction of the Mary Hill By-Pass. Contract drawings are
almost finalized for the first stage which is intended to go
from the Lougheed Highway at the Pitt River Bridge to Broadway
Street. The alignment has not changed from the preliminary
alignment which Council has seen previously.

I am told by the Ministry of Highways that they
expect to be able to tender the first contract by May with
construction hopefully starting in July. However, so far they
have not received funding approval and therefore we cannot be
certain that it will go ahead as scheduled.

It will be necessary for us to relocate a portion of
our Kingsway watermain at Highways cost and we will prohably

want to increase the size at the same time in order to be able
to better serve the industrial area. Costs for the additional
work in oversizing are included in the rates set for the devel-
opment cost charge by-law. We will be approaching Council at
a later date with specific details and costs. In the meantime,
this is just for your information.

F.E. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engineer.
