1. Discussion re: traffic safety issues around Lord Selkirk and Charles
Dickens Schools
Peter Stary, a city traffic engineer spoke about traffic Calming around
Selkirk and Dickens schools. The key points were:
- Pedestrian activated crossing will be added at Glen and Kingsway
this fall (hopefully by 1 Sept.)
- The use of speed "humps" is being reviewed by council (we
missed the pilot program)
- Some new funding has been allotted for approx. 8 corner bulges for
school crossings
2. Garbage Cans
- Susan showed a map of existing can locations. The major problem with
the existing cans is that they are filled with household garbage. If
you see a problem house or business please contact Susan and the city
will look into it.
3. Former Safeway site at Kingsway & Knight
- The development permit has expired because conditions were not met
by the developer within the time allowed. The site is for sale for $9.5
million.
4. Update on Broadway Safeway Renovations
- Development Application issued.
5. 41st and Victoria, London Drugs Development
- Crime prevention office space has been provided for the Fraser Street

- Council approve the Community Vision implementation and monitoring
strategy described in the report
- Council approve the hiring of a temporary planner (28 months) to co-ordinate
and work on the implementation of the vision
- Council approve the hiring of a temporary civil engineer (28 months)
to develop a comprehensive arterial plans for Knight, Kingsway and Dunbar
streets.
- Council approve a communication budget
- Staff report back with a strategy and budget for providing community

volunteer initiatives.
7. This committee's role?
- A discussion was started on: clarifying the committee's function/role;
how can it function most effectively; how do we best use Susan's time.
Unfortunately we ran out of time and did not reach a conclusion. This
discussion will continue at our next meeting (23 Sept. 1999).
