From Alderman Traboulay, August 22nd, 1974, reporting on his attendance
at the Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District meeting held on August

tion only, and he then spoke briefly to it.

Pub.Wks.Comm.-flash. From the Public Works Committee, August 12th, 1974, referring to a resol-

ution passed at the July 22nd, 1974 Council meeting 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,
and advising that on discussing the matter with the Department of Highways
officials in Victoria, the officials did not feel instalation of warning
lights was necessary, but they did advise the City should be hearing shortly
about their deliberations concerning the establishment of crosswalk patrols.
Alderman Traboulay stated he was quite disappointed that both the local
Committee and Department of Highways' officials did not see the need for some
kind of warning signal on the expanded Lougheed Highway, and to his query re-

garding a crosswalk patrol, the City Administrator advised that he thought he

had a senior citizen lined up for this service on a temporary, or perhaps per-

manent, basis, which will be better than having to use the time of the By-law
Enforcement Officer; however, if this does not work out, one of the City's
flagmen will have to undertake this duty. Alderman Mabbett stated he was not
pleased with the report, commenting that he does not see how people can get
onto the Lougheed Highway from Hastings Street, and stating his view that the

Department of Highways should again be requested to install a proper signal
