ITEM I

Rea: Pedestrian Crosswalk ~ Hastings and Lougheed Intersection

At the regular Council Meeting held on July 22nd, 1974, the’ following resolution
was passed "THAT the Department of Highways be contacted regarding installation

of appropriate flashing lights on the Lougheed Highway indicating to approaching
motorists the existance of the pedestrian crosswalk located at the Hastings and
Lougheed Intersection", The Committee feels that the most significant conflict
with the pedestrian traffic crossing the Lougheed is caused by motorists making a4
left turn onto the Lougheed Highway from Hastings street. In fact, occasions arise
when motorists wishing to make this movement use the pedestrian signal to aid the
movement. Subsequent to the Public Works Committee Meeting, this matter was
discussed by the Mayor and the City Engineer in a meeting with Department of Kighways
Officials in Victoria. The Officials did not feel installation of warning lights
was necessary, but they did advise that we should be hearing shortly about their
deliberations concerning the establishment of crosswalk patrols.

ITEM IL

Re: Stop Sien at Burns and Dominion

A majority of the Committee recommend that a Stop Sign be installed on Burns Street
at the North side of Dominion Avenue.
