REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1: Key Map No. 2: Copy of correspondence dated April 25, 1995, which was sent to all residents living on Old Kingston Road 2.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 On April 12, 1995, Old Kingston Road Bridge was barricaded and closed to vehicular traffic. A routine inspection of the bridge had revealed structural deficiencies, and a decision was made to close the bridge to ensure the public's safety. 1!07 REPORT NO.: WD-42-96 PAGE 3 All residents living on Old Kingston Road were notified, by letter, of the temporary closure of the bridge (Attachment No. 2) . 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 The Official Plan for Courtice shows Old Kingston Road as being terminated by a cul-de-sac on either side of the bridge. Alternate vehicular access is available to all but one of the residents of Old Kingston Road by Prestonvale Road. Access to the resident on the .west side of the bridge will not be affected because access already exists from Highway No. 2. 3.2 It is intended that the bridge and the road remain under the jurisdiction of the Municipality and that a pedestrian walkway be maintained over the existing bridge. 4.0 RECOMMENDATION 4.1 That the Old Kingston Road Bridge be closed by by-law to prohibit vehicular traffic and that a pedestrian walkway over the existing bridge be improved and maintained by the Public Works Department.

Tubb Rosena Lorraine Tubb 11 Old Kingston Road Courtice, Ontario L1E 2R8 Dear Resident: RB: Temporary Closure of Bridge, Old Kingston Road, Courtice, Bridge Structure No. 92001 To ensure public safety, I requested my staff to close .this structure on the morning of April 12, 1995, and advised the necessary emergency service. A visual inspection of the bridge showed large cracks on the structure and the north rail was no longer secured to provide pedestrian safety. This structure had low traffic volumes and was previously posted at two (2) tonnes in accordance with the Bridge Appraisal Assessment of September, 1993, and Municipal Bridge Weight By-law 94-173: Recent observations indicate the bridge is continuing to deteriorate and a temporary closure was deemed necessary until a proper evaluation can be completed. I have attached page 3 of the Bridge Appraisal completed in September., 1993, in which the recommendation was to remove the existing structure and close the roadway at the structure -site. The future of the existing structure will not be determined until a full evaluation is completed. If you have any concerns or opinions on this matter regarding either vehicular or pedestrian access, please contact me. Yours very truly, Don Patterson, C.E.T.
