CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-4169
REPORT NO.: EGD-013-09

1.0 BACKGROUND
Old Scugog Road is classified as a Local Road in the Clarington Official Plan
although it operates more so as a collector road. This is due to vehicles attempting
to avoid Regional Road 57 and/or the roadway serving the Hamlet of Hampton. The
section of roadway between Millville Avenue and Ormiston Street has been the
subject of various drainage concerns by residents in the area. The reconstruction of
Old Scugog Road has been approved in the 2009 Capital Budget and the limits of
the project are shown in Attachment #1.
The municipality has completed pavement rehabilitation of the existing road north
and south of the subject site in previous years. This particular location will involve a
greater degree of work to address the drainage issues. The installation of storm
sewers will not only address some of drainage concerns, it also allows for an urban
cross section through a portion of the project.
2.0 APPROACH
To assess suitable construction measures of the project and to obtain local residents
input to the design process, a Public Information Centre was held to present the
project proposal. The public was notified of the meeting by newspaper
advertisement, the Municipality's information board and website, and through
circulation notices to those who are directly affected by the proposed works.
3.0 INFORMATION CENTRE
A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on Feb 25, 2009 at the Hampton
Community Hall. 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 the works;
· A typical road sections for the urban design;
· Photographs of existing pavement structure and residential entrances;
· The full set of preliminary engineering drawings;

· An artist's rendition of the final product;
Eighteen residential frontages are abutting the road reconstruction. Nine residents
in the area appeared at the PIC and provided input. The register and comment
sheets are on file within the Engineering Services Department and available for
review.
The design proposal presented was well received and as expected the primary
concern expressed was related to drainage. These concerns where generally
associated to connections of existing sump pumps, external drainage
concentrations, and the overall grading and drainage of the area. The design team
was well prepared for the issues brought forward through site investigations and
preliminary designs. Some additional sump pump locations where identified as well
as an additional well in the area. Overall it was understood that the area is
susceptible to water problems and the reconstruction project will aid in some of
these issues.
5.0 DISCUSSION
As a result of the Public Information Centre, detailed design will be finalized and
design drawings and tender documents will be prepared for the project to target a
spring tender call. This will allow Council the opportunity to consider the project for a
construction in spring/summer of 2009.
