1. Blenheim Street Traffic Measures File: 5762-4/5757-2
At its Special Council Meeting on September 26, 1995 (reconvened on

Street Traffic Measures and deferred a decision pending receipt of a

Accordingly, Council had before it an Administrative Report dated

recommended a slightly modified plan to deal with the proposed traffic
measures along Blenheim Street.
The General Manager of Engineering Services submitted the following
recommendations:
A. THAT the traffic calming plan for Blenheim Street north
of 16th Avenue, illustrated on Figure 1 of the
Administrative Report dated November 23, 1995, proceed
largely as previously approved, with the clear
understanding that this is for a 6-month trial period

trail period and follow-up survey, with further

of 16th Avenue, illustrated on Figure 1 of the

REPORT REFERENCE
1. Library Square Capital Campaign File: 4004-2
Before Council was a report dated December 1995 entitled "For the
Love of Learning" concerning the Library Square Capital Campaign. The
report was prepared by Marilyn Wright Fundraising Counsel Inc. The
report provided a review of the fundraising campaign, monies raised, and
contained recommendations concerning follow-up work associated with the
campaign.
Mr. Kyle Mitchell, Chair, Vancouver Public Library Board,
introduced Mr. John Woodward and Mr. Kip Woodward, Co-Chairs of the
Library Square Capital Campaign Committee. Mr. Mitchell also introduced
Ms. Marilyn Wright, who was retained as a consultant to direct the
Capital Campaign since January 1, 1994. It was noted the Campaign Plan
provided for raising $12 million of the total project cost of $110
million. Mr. Mitchell advised that no library in Canada has ever taken
on such a large fund-raising campaign. The purpose of this report is to
provide Council with information on the progress in achieving this goal.
Ms. Marilyn Wright advised a total of $8,831,261 of the $12 million
fund-raising goal has been raised to date. Funds are continuing to come
in as groups and organizations are still making decisions with respect
to contributions. Substantial donations were received from a diverse
cross-section of the community. Ms. Wright provided a breakdown by
category of where the donations were raised.

Strata Title Conversion -
2672 Point Grey Road File: 5312
In an Administrative Report dated November 23, 1995, the Director
of Land Use and Development reviewed an application to convert the
previously occupied building at 2672 Point Grey Road to strata title
ownership. The General Manager of Community Services recommended the
application be approved in principle subject to the completion of all
work required by the City Building Inspector as noted in the report.
Also before Council was a memorandum dated December 8, 1995 from
the Director of Land Use and Development, advising that the applicant
for this proposed strata title conversion has requested a change in the
number of units which are intended to be created on his strata plan.
The application before Council deals with the previously occupied two-
unit building on the site at 2672 Point Grey Road, which also contains a
new three-unit infill building. The applicant has now indicated he
intends to include a new two-family dwelling on the adjacent site at
2652 Point Grey Road on the same strata plan as will encompass the 2672
Point Grey Road site. This means the number of strata lots proposed
will increase from five, as discussed in the Administrative Report, to
seven.
MOVED by Cllr. Hemer,
THAT the recommendation of the General Manager of Community
Services be approved on the understanding that the strata plan includes
a total of seven units.

ENQUIRIES AND OTHER MATTERS
Safe Ride Van
Councillor Kennedy advised she had attended a meeting earlier
today in the Downtown regarding safety and
security issues. The Coast Foundation was
present at the meeting and provided
information regarding its Safe Ride Van
program which deals with people on the
streets. Funding for the program will
expire at the end of December, and next
year's funding will not be available until
February. This causes a problem for the
month of January, and Councillor Kennedy
enquired whether there is any way the City
could assist.
The City Clerk advised representa-tives of
the Social Planning Department, Police
Department and herself are looking at
opportunities to provide bridge funding
for the program.
