CARRIEDB. DELEGATIONC. PRESENTATIONS1. Murrayville Pumphouse and Old Yale Road
A. Dean, Project Engineer, Township of Langley, presented slides on the historicportion of Old Yale Road which runs from the Fraser Highway/Old Yale Road junction in the City of Langley to Murrayville’s five corners on 48th Avenue. Theoriginal road was constructed of concrete sections with the existing asphalt apronadded much later. The road has a lot of structural cracking with the worst conditionsoccurring at the end of the road closest to Fraser Highway.The committee would like to see the historic portion of the road preserved as it isone of the first concrete highways in the area. In the past it has been suggested thatrestoring the concrete sections in phases over several years would be a feasibleapproach to its long-term preservation. This year no work on the road will beundertaken as it not included in the capital budget.If upgrading is undertaken in future, committee members indicated that they wouldlike to see the stamped sections in the old concrete are re-used. Integrating thesestamps into new sections of sidewalk along Old Yale Road or featuring them in otherways has been suggested in the past. A. Dean reported that one of the stamps wasplaced in the five corners round-about when it was constructed.The committee would like to see a plan developed for the road’s future restorationdetailing recommended treatments for the various sections.It was suggested that staff maintain a list of outstanding agenda items that can bebrought forward to future Heritage Advisory Committee meetings. It was alsorecommended that the committee consider the restoration of Old Yale Road again inthe fall in order to consider making a recommendation to Council that provision forthe repair of an initial portion of Old Yale Road be included in the capital budget for2010.It was noted that C. Roberts will follow-up on the status of the MurrayvillePumphouse insurance claim with the HAC at a future meeting.
