ITEM I

Re: B.C. Hydro Transit

The Committee met with Dave Walker and Roy Snell of
B.C. Hydro Transit. Several items were discussed including the
jeft turn from Pitt River Road north on Shaughnessy, the re-
location of bus stops and bus shelter at Lions Way and Shaughnessy,
_ the impending changes to the Lougheed - Shaughnessy intersection
and the closing of the west end of Coquitlam Avenue, and the
extent of the bus stops at the McAllister ~ Shaughnessy inter-
section. More information and recommendations will be forth-
coming on these items at a later date.

The Committee also discussed the problems with the
bus stop located on Eastern Drive at Penny Place. The Committee
recommends that this bus stop he relocated to the west side of
the McLean - Pitt River Road intersection as shown on the attached
sketch. B.C. Hydro Transit stated that similar bus stop locations
on the near side of lighted intersections while usually not
desirable are feasible and can work satisfactorily if required
for special circumstances.

ITEM IT

Re: Shaughnessy Underpass

It is apparent that proper maintenance work is required
for the road surface at the Shaughnessy Underpass. A proposal
has been developed to plane and remove a 2-inch depth of asphaltic
concrete for a length of approximately 280 lineal feet and repave
with a 2-inch lift of asphaltic comrete for a distance of approxi-
mately 700 lineal feet. It is intended that this work would be
Carried out during off~peak traffic hours at night and it would
mean that the underpass would be closed to traffic for one evening,
