Lougheed !linhway and the turning circle offered by the vestem vill to ot
considerable value to the City in establishing @ proper traffic pattern for
the lane enabling vehiclea to nezotiste tna "dead-end" in an eanfler sanner.

This fact, together with the fact that the land comprising the
closed lana was originally taken from the subdivision of which Lot 77 nov

Subsequently, the necessary Order in Council was passed vesting title to the lane :
in the name of the City. The owner recently approached me and asked what the next step | |
was in the procedure and I informed him that he should have a Subdivision Plan prepared
that would consolidate his property with the closed lane and I suggested that he consult
: the City Engineer to receive the details of the turnins circle that was required. It was
; * iy. Borch's opinion, substantiated by the Public Works Committee, that a turn-around require-

{ ment is not feasible and tir. Berch's advice to me is contained in the following memorandum:
