THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

J. Maitland DATE: May 25, 1994
Acting City Administrator

FROM: LR. Zahynacz, P. Eng., FILE: 900-266
City Engineer

SUBJECT: ‘TRAFFIC CIRCULATION - CLAYTON/TOUHEY/MURCHEE
(Pablic Works/Trafiic Committee Meeting of May 24, 1994)

That Council designate Murchie, Clayton and Tuohey between Murchie and
Clayton as a 30 km/h speed zone.

That Council approve the installation of three speed humps on Clayton, Tuohey
and Murchie as shown on the attached Plan | at a cost of $6,000.

That. $6,000 be allocated from the Special Public Works Capital Reserve fund for
this purpose. ,

The Public Works Committee considered the attached memorandum from the Project Technician
dated May 18, 1994 regarding a petition from residents in the Clayton/Murchie/Tuohey area
dated May 4, 1994 requesting a 30 km/h zone and speed humps on these streets.

The majority of the members of the Public Works/Traffic Committee are in favour of installing

the speed humps and reducing the posted traffic speed to 30 km/h because this is a special area

which has been experiencing severe problems with regards to through traffic using Clayton,

Tuohey and Murchie. The speed zone reduction and speed humps can be used for a trial period

of six to nine months and be reassessed after that time. This would be a test project in a Traffic
ontrolled Area. |

The City Engineer is not recommending the use of speed humps because there are numerous”
areas in Port Coquitlam which are experiencing through traffic and would therefore technically
warrant the installation of speed humps if this policy were applied consistantly. This would
result in additional congestion problems in Port Coquitlam. | :
