the Planning, Urban Forestry, Engineering, Utilities, and Capital Projects Management
Departments to revisit the 44' wide pavement design; and
WHEREAS, the decision was made to revise the design to a 34' wide pavement with
parking on one side to better suit the character of both the residential and commercial
components along the road; and
WHEREAS, the decision was also made to increase the pipe size of the storm drainage
system to accommodate the stormwater management requirements for the undeveloped
commercial property on the east side of the road. The increased pipe size will be paid for through
