Director' s Report; to Public Works Committee.
I I em: WD-h1-80.
Imu : May 12 , 1890.
Subject : Mill Street and Hampton Mill Pond,
An a resuIt of 1 nod 1 ng , Mi I I Street , which provides thoroughfare
across the Hampton Mill Pond, has been closed since March 21 , 1980.
On May 5, 1980, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority under-
took restorations or the roadway and , upon receiving information
of this, on May 7, 1980, from a citizen of the area , I inspected
the roadway and structure. It was noted that the fence which had
closed off the thoroughfare had been left down and, as a result ,
vehicles were using the roadway.

On 'I'll n l-s&lY , May 8, 1980, Central Lake Untnrio COUSeFVILfon Authority
commenced the filling of the Mill Pond.
011 Friday 111"InIng, May 9 , 1980, water was Filtering through the berm,
at Its usual locavfon (west of the structure) and this Fi3traLion had
caused a cave-In. For obvious safety reasons the road, MLLI Street ,
wa!' '11111"(11a"ly closed , lenving Passage only for ppdustrLans and
bicycle traffic .
It is my opinion that , due to the critical deficiency of the structure,
Mill Street must remain closed.
-R-e comme-n-da t-i0q:
WHEREAS LhY structure across the Hampton Mill Pond has experienced
an impact and Is now critically deficient and not considered safe
For vehicular traffic, It is therefore recommended that the appropriate
by-law be passed to effect the closure of Mill Street , HnmpLob , from
( he structure, westerly , to King Street ,
