Compiled by Hamilton and Associates, the report was Commissioned Last vear to evaluate traffic volumes tras elling along the Marine Drive and Bellevue corridors between Vath and 28th Streets. Council ordered the study in response fo a seri¢s OF New developments proposed for the areca and, specifically, a new development proposed for the corner of P7th and Bellevue in what was previ- ously the old) post. office building. The results of the approx: imately 9O0-page report were delivered at Monday night's council meeting by Tim Murphy of Hamilton and Associates. The company consulted with several area stakchokler groups including the West Vancouver Chamber — of Commerce, the Ambleside Business Association, the Dundarave Business Association and Lionel Lewis of the Ambleside and Dundarave Ratepayers Association. The West Vancouver fire and police departments also gave their input. Murphy said that the pub- lic perception of area trafic flow was different from what was recorded by his compa- ny. According to the report, the public groups had the perception that traffic along the Marine Drive and Bellevue Avenue corridors was extremely congested, that motorists were travelling at high speeds along both Marine and Bellevue, and that the intersection of Marine and 15th was very dangerous to both pedestri- ans and motorists.
