Re: Intermunicipal Streets

Attached hereto please find the following; a Report, dated March Ist,
for the Mayor and Council from the Public Works Committee, and a Proposed
Policy for Division of Responsibility dated February 23rd, 1976. At the
Council meeting of March 8th, 1976 the following resolution was passed:

"That as recommended in a Report from the Public Works Committee,
March Ist, 1976 the proposed "Policy for Division of Responsibility for
Maintenance and Improvement of Inter-Municipal Boundary Roads Between the
District of Coquitlam and the City of Port Coquitlam" dated February 23rd,
1976, be approved as to Maintenance only and that the said Policy be referred
back to the Committee for further review with respect to Capital Works,"

The requested review has been carried out and the Committee would point out
the following:

1. The Proposed Policy attached has been accepted by the District of
Coquittam.

2. We understand that the District will] be requesting consideration be
given to the re-construction of Victoria Drive. Traffic counts have been
taken on Victoria Drive and the peak-hour volume is less than 100 and the
total traffic per day varied between 500 and 600 vehicles. In addition, there
ts underground work, such as watermain replacement, that should be carried

out before reconstruction and paving are considered. Therefore, the Committee
feels the requested work on Victoria Drive is premature.

3. Traffic counts were carried out on Oxford Street at Lincoln and at the
Cemetery. The peak-hour volume at Lincoln is approximately 120 vehicles and
the daily volume is almost 1000 vehicles. The peak-hour volume at the
Cemetery is 9 vehicles and the daily voiume is fess than 100 vehicles. It

was suggested that Oxford Street is not important to the District of Coquitlam
in comparison to its importance to the City and the above counts confirm this.
