MEMORANDUM

TO: . City Administrator June 17, 1987

FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Access to 2352 Pitt River Road - Public Works
Committee June 16, 1987

Recommendation:

That the proposed townhouse unit at 2352 Pitt River Road
be required to put a separate entrance and exit off Pitt River
Road at the northwest corner of the property prior to approval
of the Zoning Bylaw.

Backaround and Comments:

’

At the Public Hearing for the above proposal, objections
to the proposal were raised by local residents because the only
access was directed to Lobb Avenue. The project did have an
emergency access to Pitt River Road but this would not normally

be available for usee

The Committee considered the problem of access in two
directions including the possibility of traffic shortcutting
through the development. However, the Committee felt that the
advantage of a direct access onto Pitt River Road outweighed
any possible disadvantages. However, the access onto Pitt
River Road should be located as far from the intersection of
Shaughnessy Street as possible. Both from a traffic flow point
of view and to reduce .the possibility of shortcutting-
