2.1 At a meeting held on December 14, 1992, Council passed
Resolution #C-802-92:
"THAT correspondence dated November 23, 1992,
from Alan Tibbles, regarding volume and speed
of traffic on Simpson Avenue, be received;
THAT the delegation of David Sebben regarding
.this matter, be acknowledged;
THAT. the correspondence be referred to the
Director of Public Works for review and
preparation of a report to be submitted to the
General Purpose and Administration Committee;
and
THAT Alan Tibbles and David Sebben be advised
of Council's decision."
3.0 REVIEW AND COlQlSNT
3.1 Correspondence from Mr. Alan Tibbles
In his correspondence (Attachment No. 2), Mr. Tibbles
suggested the following two (2) solutions for consideration:
f t}ZO
RBPORT NO WD 8 94 PAGE 3
"Alternative #1
a) .Straighten the bend near the entrance to Soper
Creek to become a 90 degree turn with a atop sign.
This would have the effect of bringing all
vehicles, northbound and southbound, to a halt and
slowing the speeding drivers from both directions.
b) In order to reduce the speed of cars. on the
southbound downhill approach to the new right hand
turn, place a stop sign at the junction of Soper
Court and Simpson Avenue.
Alternative #2
In addition to the points described in Alternative #1,
place atop signs at each junction on Simpson (Prince,
Jane and Southway). This would significantly reduce the
speed of traffic using the north end of the road and may
help to deter drivers from using Simpson altogether."
Also, Mr. Tibbles states:
"Clearly, there are insufficient access routes to and
from the 401. Drivers are finding that Liberty Street,
given its width and the congestion at Highway #2, is not
suitable and have chosen to use Simpson Avenue as a
better alternative. While we understand and sympathize.
with the Town's traffic problems we cannot accept using
our residential road as a major highway and we offer a
further suggestion for your consideration:
i) Upgrade and widen Haines St. (formerly Cemetery
Rd.). This road has virtually no traffic, only two
or three buses, provides ideal access to the 401
for Mearns traffic 'and opens a new access corridor
to the industrial park on Baseline Rd.
- 1029
REPORT NO.' WD-8-94 PAGE 4
ii) The above, combined with a traffic light at Mearns
with no right turn onto Highway #2 (weekdays only,
6:00 a.m. until S:OO a.m.). This would divert all
southbound traffic from the new development area
away from Simpson and Liberty. To restrict
northbound traffic during the evening peak hours,
there should be no right turn onto Highway #2 from
Simpson Avenue (weekdays. only, 4:00 p.m. to 6:30
p.m.)."
3.2 Report by Totten Sims Hubicki & Associates (TSH
Our consultants, Totten Sims Hubicki & Associates, were
retained to review the problem and prepare a report with
recommendations. The report has been provided to Council
(Attachment No. 4), under separate cover.
3.3 Information Centre
An Information Centre was held on Wednesday, September 15,
1993, to review the alternative proposals with the residents
of the area. The proposals presented are described on
Attachments Nos. 5A, 5B, SC and 5D.
3.4 Arterial and Collector Roads is Bowmanville
The existing arterial and collector roads. in Bowmanville are
illustrated on Attachment No. 3. Most, if not all, existing
arterial and collector roads in Bowmanville have houses
fronting onto them. It should be noted that there are not
very many north-south collector and arterial roads in
Bowmanville.
3.5 Recommended Scheme
Most of the residents at the. Information Centre indicated a
preference for Scheme No. 3, which involves improving the
visibility curve and improving vehicular movement by
constructing a super-elevated radius curve with guiderail
_ f, ~'
REPORT NO.• WD-8-94 PAGE 5
protection and speed advisory signs, at an estimated cost of
$600,000 (See Attachment No. 5C). I personally do not favour
this alternative because, in my opinion, while it will
alleviate the concerns, it will not solve them. Residents
living on the east-west portion of Simpson Avenue will still
have some risk backing out of their driveways, especially if
some drivers do not obey the posted and advisory speeds.
Also, since Simpson Avenue is classified as a collector road,
the road alignment in Scheme 3 is less than desirable. For
these reasons, my preference is Scheme 1, which is estimated
to cost $1,500,000 and is illustrated on Attachment No. 5A.
As an alternative to Scheme 1, the east-west portion of
Simpson Avenue could end in a cul-de-sac. The construction of
Scheme 1 could be phased over two (2) or more years.
3.6 Proposal That There Be No Right-Hand Turns
It is my opinion that Mr.' Tibbles' .suggestion about
restricting turning movements during certain hours of the day
at the Highway 2/Mearns Avenue and the Highway 2/Simpson
Avenue intersections would not be acceptable to the public and
would be ignored.
3.7 Improvements to Haines Street
The improvement of Haines Street will not, in itself, result
in a diversion of traffic from Simpson Avenue. As noted
above, I am not prepared to recommend the right-turn
restriction suggested by Mr. Tibbles.
Council is aware that the Ministry of Transportation provides
a 508 subsidy for road reconstruction projects. It is not
likely that Haines Street would qualify for subsidy at this
time.

REPORT NO.: WD-8-94 PAGE 7
5.0 REC0l~II4SNDATI0NS
5.1 Based on the above, it is recommended that provision be made
in the proposed 1994 Capital Budget, for Council's
consideration, for the design and construction of improvements
to Simpson Avenue, based on Scheme 1.
5.2 Normally a new project, such as this, would appear in Year 5
of the Capital Budget and Four Year Forecast. However, in
.view of the rapid rate of growth in Bowmanville, it is
recommended that this project be included in the proposed 1994
Capital Budget and the 1995 and 1996 Forecast for Council's
consideration. It is imperative that Council also consider,
because. of the large expenditure proposed for 1994, the
projects included in the 1995 and 1996 Forecast in order to -
set priorities for the projects to be done in these two (2)
years. If Simpson Avenue is not included in an achievable
1995 and 1996 Forecast, it would be premature to proceed with
the design in 1994.

From: Residents of Simpson Avenue
Subject: Volume and Speed of Traffic on Simpson Avenue
We are becoming increasingly concerned about the volume and speed o1 traffic on Simpson Avenue and
are requesting the Town to take immediate remedial action.
In a survey conducted during September of 1991, the Town counted 3,147 vehicles passing a point just
south of Soper Crt in a 24-hour period. Despite an advisory speed limit and curve signs, the average
speed of these vehicles was 50.48 kph.
Of more significance, in the peak hour between 4:00 and S:DO p.m., 373 vehicles passed (one every 9.5
seconds!). Moreover, 10% of these vehicles were travelling at speeds between 61-80 kph.
The point where the survey was Laken is at the start of a.dangerous downhill bend where numerous
accidents have occured. It is inevitable that, one day, there wilt be a serious accident on this bend and,
given their location, the residents of the houses in that vicinity (and their children) are quite likely to be
involved. Furthermore, we have been informed by a lawyer that we could be liable for damage claims it
such an accident were to be caused as a result of one of our cars reversing out of our driveways.
As a result of the survey, the police were asked by the Town to lake action to enforce the speed limds. We
are not aware that any such action has consistently taken place in the past 12 months.
The traffic on Simpson Avenue has increased dramatically as a result of the devebpment north of Highway
#2. Most of the vehicles come from the Mearns Avenue area using Simpson as a short cut to the 401. We
have been reliably informed that present traffic volumes will continue to increase as further developments
are completed.
We are providing two solutions for your consideration and they are illustrated on the attachments. They
are described as follows:
Alternative #1
a) SlraigMen the bend near the entrance to Soper Creek to become a 90 degree turn with
a stop sign. This would have the efied of bringing all vehicles, northbound and
southbound, to a haR and slowing the speeding drivers from both directions.
b) In order to reduce the speed of cars on the southbound, downhill approach to the new right
hand turn, place a stop sign at the junction of Soper Court and Simpson Avenue.
ATTACHMENT N0. 2
WD-8-94
1355
Alternative #2
In addition to the points described in Alternative #1, place stop signs at each junction on Simpson
(Prince, Jane and Southway). This would significantly reduce the speed of traffic using the north
end of the road and may help to deter drivers from using Simpson altogether.
Clearly, there are insufficient access routes to and from the 401. 17m~ers are finding that liberty Street,
given its width and the congestion at Highway #2, is not suitable and have chosen to use Simpson Avenue
as a better alternative. While we understand and sympathize with the Town's traffic problems we cannot
accept using our residential road as a major highway and we otter a further suggestion for your
consideration:
Upgrade and widen Haines St. (formerly Cemetary Rd.). This road has virtually no traffic,
only two or three houses, provides ideal access to the 401 for Mearns traffic and opens
a new access corridor to the industrial park on Baseline Rd.
ii) The above, combined with a traffic light at Meams with no right turn onto Highway #2
(weekdays only, 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m). This would divert all southbound traffic from the
new development area away from Simpson and Lberty. To restrict northbound traffic
during the evening peak hours, there should be no right turn onto Highway #2 from
Simpson Avenue (weekdays only, 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.mJ.
Please understand that our actions are motivated entirely by safe concerns. Over the past several years
we have made representations to council about this situation but without success. We do not intend to give
up our petitioning until some positive action is taken. It is worth rating that, considering these numerous
requests and the frequency of accidents on this part of the road, a serious accident could result in a
culpability action against the Town. ---------'-"

CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
SIMPSON AVENUE, BOWMANVILLE
REPORT ON ALIGNMENT AND TRAFFIC FLOW
INTRODUCTION
Following a petition from residents of Simpson Avenue in November 1992 and a subsequent
delegation before Council in December 1992, the Municipality of Clazington directed Totten Sims
Hubicki Associates (1991) Limited to undertake a review of the concerns raised in the petition.
The petition dealt primazily with three azeas of concerns:
1. Hazazdous alignment south of Soper Court, complicated by poor visibility at several private
entrances located close to the bend at this location.
2. Speed of traffic and need for additional controls.
3. Traffic volumes on Simpson Avenue alleged to be increasing due to development North of King
Street, King's Highway No. 2 being the most direct route to King's Highway 401.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Simpson Avenue is classified as a residential collector with two sepazate designations.
(a) Soper Court to King Street
This section is listed as an Urban Residential Collector with a pavement width of 9.8 m (32 ft.)
(b) Soper Court to Baseline Road
This section is designated as aSemi-urban Residential Collector with a pavement width of 6.7 m
(22 ft.) and gravel shoulders of varying width.
Throughout the full length of the street from King Street to Baseline Road, the posted speed is
50 km/h with speed advisory limits of 20, 30 and 40 km/h located south of Soper Court.
Daily traffic flows aze in excess of 3000 vehicles per day. Bus and truck traffic constitutes less than
2% of total volume. There aze no posted restrictions to truck traffic. Simpson Avenue is a GO
Transit bus route from Prince Street North to King Street.
Recent accident history (1990-1993) shows four reported accidents of a minor nature. It is alleged
that a number of accidents of less serious nature have gone unreported.
ttten sims hubicki associates
Corporation of the Municipality of Clazington
Simpson Avenue, Bowmanville -Report on Alignment and Traffic Flow 2.
DISCUSSION
While all aspects of the petition were reviewed, the primary efforts of the study concentrated on the
need tm improve alignment and visibility. In addition, an Origin and Destination Survey was
undertaken in August 1993 to assess the traffic pattern in the surrounding azea which contributes to
traffic volume on the street.
Initially four alternative solutions to the alignment problem were considered. These alternatives aze
shown on the attached drawings and aze designated as Schemes No. 1-5, not necessazily in order of
preference. The plans aze self explanatory and it is not intended that the alternatives be described in
detail herein.
The important elements in consideration of alignment aze as follows:
Improve stopping sight distance on both North and West approaches to the bend south of Soper
Court.
Improve visibility for vehicles exiting House Nos. 166 and 170.
Reduction of speed through azea of advisory speed signs.
Improve safety through the introduction of wider pavement, construction to an urban standazd
and extension of pedestrian safety facilities ie. sidewalks.
The merits of each scheme were reviewed in relation to cost effectiveness of the solution and the view
point of the long term needs of the azea.
With regard to traffic volumes, the petitions alleges increased use of Simpson Avenue by traffic
originating outside of the local azea. No historical records exist for traffic flows on Simpson Avenue
which would positively wnfu~tn this trend.
The Origin and Destination Survey, undertaken over a twelve hour period, did confum that a lazge
proportion of traffic originates from or has a destination to the developing azea bounded generally by
Liberty Street, Meazns Avenue and King Street. A summary of the survey results is attached to this
report.
The results indicate heavy use of the street by traffic which can be considered external to the local
traffic azea. This is not unexpected and in fact confirms the role of Simpson Avenue as a collector
road.
INFORMATION CENTRE
A Public Information Meeting was held at the Municipal Administration Centre on September I5,
1993, between the hours of 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. At this meeting the four alternative schemes
were displayed and discussed in detail with the attendees.
totten suns hubicki associates
Corporation of the Municipality of Clazington
Simpson Avenue, i3owmanville -Report on Alignment and Traffic Flow 3.
In addition to improving the horizontal alignment of Simpson Avenue (south of Soper Court) a
number of further recommendations were reviewed with the public as added measures to improve
conditions.
' Included in the matters discussed were the following:
Improve vertical visibility on the north approach to the bend by grade lowering. Proposed grade
gives stopping sight distance to an acceptable 105 m.
Provide added safety at the bend by the use of steel beam guiderail.
• Install reflectorized chevron signs with checkerboazd.
' Post speed advisory signs and curve signs with illumination.
• Construct sidewalks.
• Improve street lighting.
• Alter landscaping on inside of curve at House No. 166 to further improve visibility.
Place pavement edge line painting on the outside of the curve.
Improve entrance grade at House No. 166.
' Not all the above recommendations of course apply to each alternative, for example Scheme No. 1
does not incorporate a reconfiguration of the bend, but eliminates it entirely.
In addition to the technical merits of the alternative schemes, the public were also advised of cost
estimates for each approach and the results of the Origin and Destination Survey.
Those who attended the Information Centre heavily favoured Scheme No. 3. Scheme No. 1 was
viewed as a logical solution but has the serious drawback of cost as well as the potential to increase
traffic flow and speed on Simpson Avenue. A number of people viewed this as adding to the
perceived traffic problems on the street. Concern was also expressed that the solution presented by
Scheme No. 1 would not be put into practice for a long time due to present Government fiscal
restraints.
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
In reviewing the comments from the Information Centre and other data amassed during the review
process, it has been further concluded that the concerns raised by the petition and the findings of the
subsequent study have highlighted a need to review traffic problems in this azea in a broader context.
totter rims hubicki associates
Corporation of the Municipality of Clazington
Simpson Avenue, Bowmanviile -Report on Alignment and Traffic Flow 4.
The rate of development in the Bowmanville azea is well beyond normally anticipated growth for a
Municipality of this size and as a consequence the present road system has had to cope with the
increased traffic Rows.
No major changes have been made to the road network in the Bowmanville azea in recent yeazs. The
existing road system has been upgraded to meet the demands of increased volume and flow
distribution but in essence the increased traffic utilizes the existing network to best advantage.
1 To our knowledge there has been no transportation study undertaken of the Bowmanville roads system
since 1978. We recommend that such a Study be implemented in the very neaz future. This is
necessary for the purpose of identifying transportation routes that wilt serve the Municipal Needs into
the twenty-first century.
While it is beyond the mandate of this report to anticipate the findings of such a study, there aze
nevertheless certain factors related to the roads pattern in the azea south of King Street and east of
Liberty Street which invite comment.
As indicated eazlier in the report, Simpson Avenue is classified as a residential collector and is
currently, it seems effectively fulfilling this role. Development to the north of King Street will add to
traffic volume on this street.
There would appeaz therefore to be a need to accept this fact and improve Simpson Avenue
accordingly. Coupled with this, we see several additional long term improvements to the road pattern
in the azea which will assist in easing traffic flow.
The following adjustments aze presented for consideration:
1. Reconstruct Simpson Avenue as per Scheme No. 1 with the vaziation of providing a cul-de-sac at
the east limits of the east/west sections of Simpson Avenue. This is represented by Scheme No.
S attached.
2. Upgrade Haines Road to full urban collector standazd. The present road condition falls well
short of the standazd required.
3. Extend Baseline Road easterly to Bennett Road to provide alternate access to King's
Highway N401.
The upgrading of Haines Road and extension of Baseline Road will improve the collector road system
in this azea and should deflect traffic destined for K.H. 1/401 eastbound away from Simpson Avenue.
Simpson Avenue will experience gradually increasing traffic flows and as such a solution centering on
' improved safe negotiation of the bend south of Soper Court only, will not be the most effective
solution for future traffic needs. The extension of Simpson Avenue South to Baseline Road is the best
suited long term solution for the future leaving other solutions potentially asstop-gap measures only.

Corporation of the Municipality of Clazington
Simpson Avenue, Bowmanville -Report on Alignment and Traffic Flow 5_
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Reconstruct Simpson Avenue as per the proposals of Scheme No. 5. It is anticipated that the
cost to implement Scheme No. 5 would be compazable to that of Scheme No. 1, ie. $1,500,000.
Construction could proceed in two stages with the bridge crossing of Soper Creek and road
approaches being the fast stage followed by completion of the urbanization of Simpson Avenue
1 up to Southway Drive and the construction of the cul-0e-sac on the east/west leg.
• A Transportation Study should be undertaken to update the traffic needs for Bowmanville as a
whole and to identify the role of streets such as Simpson Avenue in the overall transportation
needs.
• Improve conditions on Simpson Avenue in the interim by removal of shrubs, bushes etc. from
within the road allowance on the bend south of Soper Court. Illuminate signing and provide
additional hazazd warning on the curve with increased enforcement of speed restrictions.

SIMPSON AVENUE, BOWMANVILLE
REPORT ON ALIGNMENT AND TRAFFIC FLOW
M COST ESTIMATES
The following estimates aze based on current contract prices for similar work and may be subject to
change depending on the time frame for implementation of the project.
Scheme No. 1
Realigmnent of roadway through to Baseline Road. This removes bend hazard completely and will
I reduce traffic considerably on east/west section of Sidtpson Avenue. This is the most expensive of
the options reviewed and will include considerable environmental issues to be addressed in the
crossing of Soper Creek and the associated floodplain:
Estimated Cost $1,500,000.00.
Scheme No. 2
Introduce a 105°bend with reduced radius and with full urban construction from Baseline Road to
Southway Drive. Guiderail protection on bend with enhanced speed advisory and wazning signs.
t Estimated Cost $600,000.00.
Scheme No. 3
Improve visibility on the curve and improve vehiculaz movement by constructing asuper-elevated
radius curve with guiderail protection and speed advisory signs. Full urban wnstruction from
Southway Drive to Baseline Road.
_ Estimated Cost $600,000.00.
Scheme No. 4
Scheme No. 4 represents the construction required to achieve minimum stopping sight distance on the
curve for 40 km/h design speed and improve pedestrian safety. The roadway will be reconstructed to
improve riding quality. Guiderail and speed advisory signs and warning signs introduced.
Estimated Cost $180,000.00.
Scheme No. 5
Similar to Scheme No. 1 except for the removal of the intersection of the east/west branch of
Simpson Avenue and the introduction of a cul-de-sac. Considerable environment issues will have to
be addressed in connection with the crossing of Soper Creek and the associated floodplain.
Estimated Cost $1,500,000.00.

November 23,1992
To: Council, The Town of Newcastle DEC 2 9 0~ Ali r92
cc: Dianne Hamre
John OToole
Ken Hooper
I From: Residents of Simpson Avenue
Subject: Volume and Speed of Traffic on Simpson Avenue
i
We are becoming increasingly concerned about the volume and speed of traffic on Simpson Avenue and
are requesting the Town to take immediate remedial action.
In a survey conducted during September of 1991, the Town counted 3,147 vehicles passing a point just
south of Soper Crt in a 24-hour period. Despite an advisory speed limit and curve signs, the average
speed of these vehicles was 50.48 kph.
I Of more significance, in the peak hour between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m., 373 vehicles passed {one every 9.5
seconds!). Moreover, 10% of these vehlcles were travelling at speeds between 61-80 kph.
The point where the survey was taken is at the start of a dangerous downhill bend where numerous
accidents have occured. It is inevitable that, one day, there will be a serious accident on this bend and,
given their location, the residents of the houses in that vicindy (and their children) are quite likely to be
involved. Furthermore, we have been informed by a lawyer that we could be liable for damage claims if
such an accident were to be caused as a resuR of one of our cars reversing out of our driveways.
As a result of the survey, the police were asked by the Town to take'adion to enforce the speed IimRs. We
are not aware that any such action has consistently taken place in the past t2 months.
The traffic on Simpson Avenue has increased dramatically as a result of the devebpment north of Highway
#2. Most of the vehicles come from the Mearns Avenue area using Simpson as a short cut to the 401. We
have been reliably informed that present traffic volumes will continue to increase as further developments
are completed.
We are providing two solutions for your consideration and they are illustrated on the attachments. They
are described as tolbws:
Alternative #1
a) Straighten the bend near the entrance to Soper Creek to become a 90 degree turn with
a stop sign. This would have the effect of bringing all vehicles, northbound and
southbound, to a haft and slowing the speeding drivers from both directions.
b) In order to reduce the speed of cars on the southbound, downhill approach to the new right
hand turn, place a stop sign ai the )unction of Soper Court and Simpson Avenue.
D-8
,-
'. ~ ..
Alternative #2
In addition to the points described 1n AHernative #1, place stop signs at each junction on Simpson
(Prince, Jane and Southway). This would significantly reduce the speed of traffic using the north
end of the road and may help to defer drivers from using Simpson aRogether.
Clearly, there are insuflicient access routes to and from the 401. Drivers are finding that Liberty Street,
given its width and the congestion ai Highway #2, is not sudable and have chosen to use Simpson Avenue
as a better alernative. While we understand and sympathize with the Town's tratiic problems we cannot
accept using our residential road as a mayor highway and we offer a further suggestion for your
consideration:
Upgrade and widen Haines St. {formerly Cemelary Rd.). This road has virtually no traffic,
only two or three houses, provides ideal access to the 401 for Mearns tratiic and opens
a new access conidor to the industrial park on Baseline Rd.
ii) The above, combined with a trattic light at Mearns with no right turn onto Highway #2
(weekdays only, 6:00 a.m, until 8:00 a.m). This would divert all southbound trattic from the
new development area away from Simpson and Liberty. To restrict northbound traffic
during the evening peak hours, there should be no right turn onto Highway #2 from
Simpson Avenue (weekdays only, 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.).
Please understand chat our actions are motivated entirely by safety concerns. Over the past several years
we have made representations to council about this situation but without success. We do not intend to give
up our petitioning until some positive action is taken. It is worth noting that, considering these numerous
requests and the frequency of accidents on this part of the road, a serious accident could result in a
culpability action against the Town.
Please act before such an event occurs.
Sincerely,
/ /. ~% ~--
