Report #EGD.22..Q6
Baldwin Street Reconstruction. Newcastle
Page 2
1..0 BACKGROUND
1. 1 Baldwin Street is classified as a semi-urban local residential street on the latest
Road Needs Study and is included in the road reconstruction budget for 2006
pending Council approval. The proposed reconstruction will provide for full
urbanization of Baldwin Street from Highway 2 south to Edward Street including
storm sewer installations.
The Region of Durham has completed the Class Environmental Assessment
process for the North Street Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station. Based on the
results of the evaluation, the preferred alternative as indicated on the Regional
notice is to 'eliminate the pumping station with a new gravity sanitary sewer'.
The preferred alignment for the new gravity sewer will be 'along existing Church
Street, Edward Street, and Baldwin Street' (see attachment #1).
The Region's initial plan was phased construction. Phase 1 included the sanitary
sewer installation on Church Street from Edward Street south to the dead end.
Future phases would include the remaining sewer installation on Edward Street
and Baldwin Street and ultimately decommissioning the pumping station on North
Street.
The reconstruction of Baldwin Street became a Municipal priority. In doing so, it
has accelerated the Regional forecast to decommission the pumping station and
install the sanitary sewer in one phase along Church Street, Edward Street, and
Baldwin Street.
2.0 APPROACH
2.1 To assess suitable reconstruction measures for both Municipal and Regional
projects and to obtain local resident input to the design process, a Public
Information Centre was held. The public was notified of the meeting by
newspaper advertisement and through the circulation of notices.

3.0 INFORMATION CENTRES
3.1 Information Centre, March 7, 2006
At the meeting the following documentation and plans were presented for
discussion:
· Existing Road Condition Base Plans, showing proposed road works with
aerial photography as a background for both Clarington and the Regional
works;
· A typical road sections for urban designs with on-street and off-street parking
for Baldwin Street;
· A Tree Assessment Report and a Soils Report was available for reading.
In all, approximately eight people attended the meeting and the attendance
register and comment sheets are on file within the Engineering Services
Department and available for review.
The design proposals for the work presented were well received with concerns
expressed about curb depression locations, catch basin location, sidewalk
location, on-street parking and the full urbanization of Church Street. Others
were merely in attendance as interested observers or coordination concerns with
the Santa Clause parade.
The majority of concerns with respect to curb depressions, sidewalk locations,
and parking are being resolved through the design process. However the
concern with respect to the full urbanization of Church Street is outstanding.
4.0 CHURCH STREET URBANIZATION
4.1 As two separate projects by the Municipality and Region are progressing
simultaneously, it is evident that they are and will be viewed as one due to
circumstance. The Engineering Department is protecting for the future

urbanization of Church Street through the Regional road restoration plans being
prepared for the proposed sanitary sewer. The full urbanization of Church Street
is not currently included in the five-year reconstruction forecast.
Several residents expressed concerns with the plan to restore Church Street to
its original road cross section. Preliminary discussions with the Region have
outlined the reconstruction responsibility should the Municipality decide to
consider the urbanization of Church Street over and above the restoration works
proposed by the Region through their contract. The estimated costs for this work
is approximately $250,000.00.
5.0 DISCUSSION
5.1 As a result of the Information Centre, detailed design will proceed based on the
comments received for the work that is being proposed by the Municipality and
the Region.
It is recommended that the opportunity to fully urbanize Church Street from
Edward Street southerly to the dead end, be incorporated into this project and
the financing of this project be drawn from the recently announced Move Ontario
infrastructure funding program.
This report has been reviewed by the Finance Department and they concur with
the recommendations contained herein.
