Court #570, Item #46, Lane Paving
Lane south of 22nd Avenue from Inverness Street to Clark Drive and the
lane east of Inverness Street from the lane south of 22nd Avenue to 23rd
Avenue and the lane west of Clark Drive from the lane south of 22nd
Avenue to 23rd Avenue
It is being recommended that this project be reballoted. One property
owner who signed the original petition has withdrawn support so that
there is no longer a two-thirds majority of support for the project to
proceed.
Court #571, Item #9, Pavement & Curbs
Templeton Drive from Pandora Street to Franklin Street
Court #571, Item #16, Pavement & Curbs
Woodland Drive from William Street to Kitchener Street
Objections to the above two projects have met the number required to
defeat, but the assessed value represented by these objections has not
met the required 50% of total assessed value. Due to the majority of
property owners objecting, it is recommended these projects not proceed.
Court #571, Item #97, Lane Lighting
Lane south of Alexander Street from Columbia Street to the lane west of
Main Street and the lane west of Main Street from Alexander Street to
Powell Street
It is being recommended that this project not proceed. Five adjacent
property owners have now installed private lighting which resolves their
original concern about lighting in the lane. They have asked that this
-3-
project not proceed.
Capital Funds
Funds for the City's share of the projects are available from existing
Engineering Department Basic Capital Accounts or are subject to approval
of the 1996 Streets Basic Capital Budget and Park Board Capital Budget.
