1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Committee will recall that Council received Information Item 1-13 at its April 30,
2007 meeting; specifically a letter from the Township of Scugog (April 12, 2007)
in response to Clarington's request to cost share road improvements at the
intersection of Old Scugog Road and Boundary Road in Burketon.
Attached to Scugog's correspondence was a staff report which went before the
Township's April 2, 2007 General Purpose and Administration Committee
meeting and an excerpt of the minutes of that meeting (as it pertained to the
Burketon intersection issue).
The subject intersection is under the jurisdiction of both Clarington and Scugog,
and decisions regarding traffic control, reconstruction and cost sharing must be
approved by both Councils.
1.2 The recommendation of the Scugog General Purpose and Administration
Committee to Council (which was subsequently ratified) states, in part:
". . . THAT the Municipality of Clarington be advised that the
Township of Scugog would be prepared to contribute up to
50% of the total cost of the Old Scugog Road and Boundary
Road intersection improvement project described in
Attachment 3 to this report, subject to approval of the
financing in the 2008 Capital Budget."
1.3 Intersection improvements recommended by both municipalities' engineering
staff include:
. improved line painting
. improved signage
. rumble strips approaching the intersection from the north

2.0 CONCLUSION
2.1 Since both municipalities' budgets have been approved prior to the inclusion of
this project, staff recommend that the final design of the intersection
improvements be competed this year and the construction of the works be
included in the draft 2008 budget for Council's consideration.
