Adding another high density neighbourhood will only compound existing problems; • The one time lot levy which will be paid by the developer will not justify increasing the number of developed lots within the proposed area; • A multitude of safety concerns pertaining to parking on residential streets, traffic near a school safety zone and inadequate parking; • Devaluation of existing properties; and • Character of the neighbourhood—future development should be compatible with existing homes to maintain the character of the existing neighbourhoods with lot size being a major component. i Jack Julicher,43 Clayton Crescent, Bowmanville,L1C 4P3—has been a resident of the area since 1990 and stated that the residents have lived without a park for nine years. He requested that the developer build a park, that homes have a double driveway and expressed a concern regarding devaluation of properties.

Steve Chinn, 14 Aldcroft Crescent, Bowmanville, L1C 4Pl —advised that he fears for the safety of his two young children because of the existing major problem with cars on the road. i Aileen Cameron,50 Clayton Crescent, Bowmanville, L1C 4N8—reiterated the comments made by Blair McEwen stressing that the traffic congestion on Clayton Crescent is a major concern. She requested that the existing access to Liberty Street from Clayton Crescent not be closed. Diane McKenzie, 106 Clayton Crescent, Bowmanville, L1C 4N9—referred to her letter dated January 27, 1999,to the Municipality wherein the following concerns were expressed: • the plan does not make allowance for travel between High Street and Clayton Crescent; • the lots should remain 50 ft or larger because smaller lots will adversely affect the value of the existing homes as well as the quality of life of the residents;and • a request that the Municipality require as a minimum,a double car driveway in front of each home No one spoke in support of this application.

THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING 2.1 The highlights of the Memorandum of Understanding are noted below. • Valleys 2000 will: - retain the services of a planning/landscape architect firm; - collect all funds, and be responsible for the payment of expenses relating to the consultant, fundraising, publicity, volunteer labour, buildings or structures and land enhancements; - co-ordinate any volunteer work labour for trail construction, tree plantings, bank stabilization and any other projects; - obtain their own liability insurance for no less than $2,000,000 and naming the Municipality as an additional insured; - supervise all volunteer work activities and ensure appropriate safety equipment is available; and - apply for and administer funding sources other than those requiring municipal sponsorship. f • The Municipality will: - accept title (free and clear of all encumbrances) to all lands and/or easements for the lands identified in the Valleys 2000 concept. This includes assuming the liability for all the lands identified in the Valleys 2000 concept and the legal costs associated with accepting the title to the lands; - tender and administer the construction of buildings and structures identified in the concept, upon receipt of the funds or a security to the Municipality's Treasurer; 6 REPORT PD-19-99 PAGE 4 - apply for funding on behalf of Valleys 2000 when required; and - maintain the trails and other enhancement features in the valleylands as these items are built. A Project Work Team will be established which will include one staff member from Planning and Development, Public Works, Marketing Tourism and Economic Development and the Property Manager who will work with four members of Valleys 2000 to co-ordinate the project. The Memorandum will expire on December 31, 2004 at which time all remaining assets and funds will be transferred to the Municipality. Prior to this date, however a Schedule of Works determining how the balance of assets and funds are to be used will be prepared. The Municipality will not assume any debt accumulated by Valleys 2000. 3. INSURANCE COVERAGE i 3.1 This project has been conceived by the community and will be funded by the community. However, the Municipality will be the owner of the lands for the project. Valleys 2000 is of the opinion that they are closely linked with the Municipality in this project and should therefore be covered by the Municipality's insurance policy. The Municipality's insurer will not provide coverage for groups that are not committees of Council. If Valleys 2000 is formed as a committee of Council they lose many of the government and private agency funding opportunities. Since Valleys 2000 is developing open space and park land for the benefit of the Municipality, Staff recommend that Council provide a grant equivalent to insurance premiums up to an upset limit of $1,000. per year for five years . This will be considered part of the Municipality's financial contribution to the project. The Treasurer concurs with this approach. 6 -J9 REPORT PD-19-99 PAGE 5 4. CONCLUSIONS 4.1 The Valleys 2000 project is an exciting millennium project for the Municipality of Clarington. The Memorandum of Understanding defines the roles and responsibilities of both Valleys 2000 and the Municipality of Clarington. Staff recommend that the Memorandum of Understanding be approved and authorized by the Mayor and Clerk and that the sum $1,000. be granted for the next five years to assist the group in covering the costs of insurance. This report has been reviewed by the Director of Public Works, the Treasurer and i the Property Manager. They concur with its contents. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by, Da J.

THAT Valleys 2000 and all the BIA's be sent a copy of this report and notified of Council's decision on the matter. i 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 On January 1, 1999 the Honourable Isabel Bassett, Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation launched Ontario 2000, Ontario's program to celebrate the millennium. The government will invest 20 million dollars in community based projects that supports conserving our heritage and environment, engages Ontario's youth and focuses on the province's past and future. n REPORT NO.: PD-20-99 PAGE 2 1.2 One initiative under Ontario 2000 program is Main Street Ontario. Municipalities, First Nations, and local service boards are eligible to submit applications for funding for community oriented millennium activities between January 1 and December 31, 2000. Funding is based on matching funds of up to 50 cents per resident. Millennium Projects must fall under one or more of the following themes; Homecoming — Tourism and other community initiatives designed to attract visitors to Ontario and encourage Ontarians to explore their province in the millennium year Beautify Ontario - Projects such as beautification of communities; millennium gardens; rivers, creek and lake improvements; historical restorations; projects to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, and other initiatives that wi I I i mprove the places where we I ive. Land of Opportunity - Ontario's accomplishments provide opportunities to showcase our rich past, vibrant present and bright and confident future. We are Ontario- local heritage programs, projects and initiatives, and cultural shows and festivals designed to highlight all that is Ontario. Deadline for applications is March 31, 2000. i 2. CLARINGTON PROJECTS 2.1 There are few projects that have been initiated to celebrate the Millennium, however more will likely be starting up as we move closer to the year 2000. Valleys 2000 is a project sponsored largely by the Bowmanville Lions Club, the Bowmanville Rotary Club, the Healthy Communities Committee and other community members. The project includes a trail system and other features that would enhance the Bowmanville Creek Valley from downtown Bowmanville to the Waterfront. 6 REPORT NO.: PD-20-99 PAGE 3 The project will be funded through various Millennium funding programs as well as from fund raising efforts. The Bowmanville Business Centre has expressed an interest in enhancing the main street of Bowmanville to celebrate the Millennium. At the January 25, 1999 Council Meeting, Council passed a resolution that a copy of the Ontario 2000 — Main Street Ontario application and criteria be distributed to all Business Improvements Areas in Clarington and Valleys 2000, to advise them of available funding. On February 8`h, 1999 Council received correspondence from the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation advising Council of the Main Street Ontario funding initiative. The correspondence was referred to Staff. 2.2 The Main Street Ontario program allocated 50 cents per resident per municipality. According to the most recent information, Clarington's population is approximately 72,000, therefore the Municipality is eligible for $36,000. All projects are based on t 50% matching funds. Assuming that all of those circulated express an interest in the funding, Staff propose the following distribution of the $36,000.00. Bowmanville BIA $12,000 Newcastle Village BIA $ 5,000 Orono BIA $ 2,500 Courtice Project $ 6,500 Valleys 2000 $10,000 TOTAL: $36,000.00 618 REPORT NO.: PD-20-99 PAGE 4 2.3 The Municipality is required to make the application on behalf of all local organizations. In order to complete the application, the Municipality will require the BIA's and Valleys 2000 to submit: a) a detailed description of a proposed project including a cost estimate, and describe how it meets Main Street Ontario funding criteria; b) a commitment to provide a minimum of 50% funding for the project; and c) a commitment that the terms and conditions in the Main Street Ontario application form will be honoured. In order to deal with applications in a timely fashion, the proposals are to be submitted to the Municipality of Clarington, no later than April 1, 1999. 2.4 Valleys 2000 and Bowmanville BIA have already expressed an interest in the Main Street Ontario funds. If any BIA does not wish to participate, those funds proposed I should be reallocated proportionately or as agreed upon between the remaining parties. 2.5 In order to evenly distribute the funds throughout the Municipality, Staff have i included a Courtice project. The project would be municipally funded streetscape improvements either at Highway 2 and Townline Road or Highway 2 and Courtice Road. The project would be determined by Planning and Public Works and the funds incorporated in the 1999 Capital Budget. Staff will report back to Council once a concept has been completed. 3. CONCLUSIONS 3.1 The Main Street Ontario funding program will provide some assistance for Valleys 2000 and the Business Improvement areas who are contemplating a project to celebrate the Millennium. Staff will report back to Committee upon receipt of the proposed projects from Valleys 2000 and the BIA's. X19 REPORT NO.: PD-20-99 PAGE 5 Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by, Dav .

THAT Report CS-04-99 be received; and 2. THAT Council endorse the Orono Arena Expansion Project, subject to receipt of approval from the Durham Central Agricultural Society; and 3. THAT Council approve an interest free loan, to an upset limit of one hundred and twenty five-thousand dollars ($125,000.), to be drawn on as required by the Orono Amateur Athletic Association; and 4. THAT a letter of intent for repayment of the loan in five,annual instalments of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.) each with the first payment due December 31 2000 and the subsequent payments due on December 31, 2001; December 31, 2002; December 31 2003; and the final payment due December 31, 2004 be received; and 5.

THAT the tendering process be ad g p ministered b the Municipality of Cl ' Y p Y arm on m conjunction with the Orono Arena Board and the Orono Amateur Athletic Association; and 7. THAT the Durham Central Agricultural Society, the Orono Amateur Athletic Association and the Orono Arena Board be advised of action taken. 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 At the November 23,'1998 meeting of Council, a delegation by Mr. Ray Bester, President of the Orono Amateur Athletic Association was received and referred to staff. 1.2 ' In his delegation Mr. Bester explained the need for an expansion to the Orono Arena involving the addition of 2 dressing rooms, a locker room, a janitorial room and a meeting room, with an estimated cost of two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($225,000.) for the project. 6PFiMFp IXIIIECYClEO PPPFR DEPORT CS-04-99 - 2 - FEBRUARY 15, 1999 1.3 The delegation, specifically requested assistance from the Municipality with the following: • Assistance with Building Permits • Verifying Building Codes • Advice for Tendering Process • Interim Financing 1.4 Subsequently, staff met with Mr. Bester on January 13, 1999 to discuss the project, and devise a plan of action to accommodate the request of the Orono Amateur Athletic Association. 2.0 DURHAM CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY 2.1 Notwithstanding the existing Orono Arena is owned by the Municipality and operated by the Orono Arena Board with the authority of the Municipality of Clarington, the land on which the building is located is owned by the Durham Central Agricultural Society. 2.2 Through our discussions with Mr. Bester it was noted that the Durham Central Agricultural Society is aware of and has endorsed this project, however staff is requesting that a letter stating the Society's approval should be received prior to commencement of the project. 3.0 BUILDING PERMITS/CODES 3.1 Recognizing that the existing structure is owned by the Municipality, a building permit is, required however the building permit fee will be waived, as is the case with all municipal construction. 3.2 To assist the Association with issues related to the Building Code, staff has assigned a representative of the Building Department to work directly with this project on a consultative basis. 4.0 TENDERING PROCESS 4.1 During the meeting with Mr. Bester, it was requested that the Municipality provide assistance with the tendering process. Through that discussion, it was decided that it would be in the interest of both parties to have the project tendered through the Municipality, in conjunction with the Orono Amateur Athletic Association and the Oronc Arena Board. REPORT CS-04-99 - 3 - FEBRUARY 15, 1999 4.2 This will indemnify the Association members with respect to concerns raised related to builders risk, as the Municipality's insurance carriers will provide this coverage under our existing insurance policy and further it should be noted that the Municipality's liability coverage extends to the Orono Arena Board not to the Athletic Association. As such it is recommended that the Arena Board have a presence in the tendering process. 5.0 FINANCING 5.1 The delegation identified a preliminary goal of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.) in commitments prior to proceeding with the project. Currently the Association has commitments of fifty-one thousand dollars ($51,000.) and more recently has received Council approval for a grant of forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000.), through the Advance Funding Program - Ontario Lottery Corporation totalling ninety-six thousand dollars ($96,000.) in commitments. 5.2 During discussions with Mr. Bester a specific request for an interest free loan from the Municipality in the amount of one hundred '& twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000.) was received and referred to the Treasurer. 5.3 Subsequently, a recommendation to provide an interest free loan to an upset limit of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars was forwarded with terms established over 5 years, to be repaid with 5 equal installments of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.) each, with the first payment due on December 31, 2000 and that the funds are to be drawn from the Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund Account #1110-196-X. 5.4 Should Council approve the interim financing scenario, commitments for this project total two hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars($221,000.). Mr. Bester expressed no difficulty in fund-raising the additional four thousand dollars ($4,000.) to meet the total project estimate. 6.0 CONCLUSION 6.1 With the approval of Council, staff will initiate a project team representing the required Municipal disciplines to assist the Orono Amateur Athletic Association with this project through its completion, including project administration. i h ^ 7 REPORT CS-04-99 - 4 - FEBRUARY 15, 1999 6.2 Staff are confident that with the proven track record of the Orono Amateur Athletic Association over the past 20 years that the financing plan is attainable.

In accordance with the Municipal Act, approval to use Boundary Roads must be granted by both adjoining municipalities. • Best Road (road allowance between Lots 28 &29) From Manvers/Clarke Boundary Road southerly to Concession Road 10 • Concession Road 10 Easterly from Best Road to Beaucage Road • Beaucage Road Southerly from Concession Road 10 to Highway 115 • Through tunnel under Highway 1115 • Wilcox Road Easterly to its limit (approximately Lot 20/21) (From Lot 20 to the road allowance between Lots 14 & 15, it is private property) • Road,41lowance between Lots 14 & 15 Wilcox Road (private) northerly to Concession Road 10 • Concession Road 10 Easterly from Lot 14 to Lot 9 & 10 • Lot line between Lots 9 & 10 (Ganaraska) Concession Road 10 to Manvers/Clarke Boundary Road • Boundary Road Lot 9 to Cold Springs Camp Road • ` Cold Springs Camp Road Boundary Road southerly to Concession Road 9 REPORT NO.: WD-10-99 PAG: 3.3 There are a number of issues identified for Council's information and consideration: 3.3.1 Abutting Properiy Owners It is recommended that the abutting property owners be contacted by the Association a-- advised that the road or road allowance abutting their property is intended to be used fu, the Oak Ridges Trail. Abutting owners to the unopened road allowances should be aw that the trail is being established. In the area of Best Road in Concession 10, a portion r the trail is located adjacent to areas zoned for aggregate extraction. The zoning reflect the location of licensed operations that are active or will become active. The trail alignment may have to be re-negotiated from time to time in order to avoid potential conflicts and for safety reasons. A portion of the proposed trail is a permitted snowmobile trail. Again, for safety reasons, certain arrangements should be negotiates with the snowmobile club. Abutting municipalities must approve use of the boundary roads. Acknowledgement that this notification has been completed must be submitted the Director of Public Works. 3.3.2 Private Property There is a section of the proposed trail, easterly from the end of the maintained portior Wilcox Road to the road allowance between Lots 14 and 15, which is private property. In order for the trail to connect, a legal agreement must be negotiated between the property owners and the Association. 3.3.3 Clarington Official Plan and Zoniniz By-law Staff reviewed the proposed trail in the context of the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Section 4.4.2 of the Official Plan states: "The Municipality supports the establishment of an Oak Ridges Trail System part of the Municipality's integrated trail network. The Municipality will consu with provincial agencies, the Conservation Authorities and the public interest S such matters as trail location, design and funding." 1 ' 16 REPORT NO'.: ",VD-1099 PAGE 5 Section 14.6.1 also states: "Uses permitted in the Moraine shall be conservation, reforestation. agriculture, and passive recreational uses such as pedestrian trails and horseback riding." The Clarington Official Plan encourages the routing of a Trail in the Oak Ridges Moraine. 3.3.4 Liability Protection for the Municipality In order to reduce the risk of liability to the Municipality, it is recommended that the Association be required to fulfill several conditions(Attachment No. 2); sign a Lease, Waiver and Indemnitv (Attachment No. 3); and provide Insurance naming the Municipality as co-insured, in the amount of 52,000,000.00 satisfactory to the Treasurer. 3.3.5 Boundary Roads The Oak Ridges Trail Association must obtain authorization from the adjacent Municipality where the trail is located on a Boundary Road. A copy of this report and Council's resolution to the Townships of Manvers and Hope will provide the necessary approval of Clarington's Council. 3.3.6 Alteration or Grooming on Unopened Road Allowances and Alterations to Road Allowances forming Part of the Trail Grooming or alteration to unopened road allowances or alteration to any road allowance that forms part of the trail are subject to approval from the Director of Public Works. Mature trees and natural obstacles will not be disturbed; construction or excavation of any kind will not be permitted. 4.0' CONCLUSION The Municipality, through the Official Plan,endorses development of the Trail. The Public Works Department has no objection to use of the unopened road allowances provided that the Association fulfills the specified conditions to ensure public safety and protect the Municipality from liability. As well, it is appropriate to advise abutting REPORT NO.: NVD-10-99 PAGE 6 property owners and obtain approval from adiacent Municipalities where the boundary roads will form part of the trail system.

These goals can be achieved through a community commitment to: AWARENESS by getting the safety message out to everyone EDUCATION by doing presentations at schools and community groups etc. ENFORCEMENT with citizens identifying aggressive drivers through a citizen reporting system with police follow-up x ' 23 REPORT NO.: WD-11-99 PAGE 3 )2 Origin of the Road Watch Proaram A Road Watch Proeram provides citizens with a direct opportunity to improve road safety in their community and assist the police by having the public identify and report dangerous, aggressive driving behaviour and assisting the authorities in selecting the most effective enforcement sites. On Mother's Day, in 1993, the Town of Caledon was in the news because of a traffic fatality that claimed the life of eight young people. At the time, Caledon had the highest fatality rate i in Ontario. A group of representatives from the Council, Staff, Ontario Provincial Police, school 'boards and concerned citizens met in the summer of 1993. They first formed the SAFE ,(Stop Accidents Everywhere) Committee to reduce accidents through Awareness, Education and Enforcement. Enforcement efforts were enhanced by involving the local citizens in identifying aggressive drivers by having them complete Citizen Report Forms. These forms are forwarded to the police whereby first time offenders get a written warning, then subsequent complaints about the same driver result in a phone call or personal visit from the police. The police received 1,655 citizen report forms during 1995 and with that success it was decided to give the program a separate identity known as "Road Watch". The program was well publicized through the distribution of 13,000 packages, which included calendars, citizen report forms and static stickers for cars. Every road leading into Caledon was posted with the Road Watch logo to warn all drivers that local citizens would not tolerate aggressive driving and would report poor driving habits to the police. The number of annual collisions in Caledon has been reduced from 1,577 in 1993, down to 994 in 1997, with fatalities dropping from 30 to 5. Although it is impossible to measure the direct impacts, citizens feel the program has had a positive influence. The Caledon program was financially sponsored by various `I 1 i REPORT NO.: WD-11-99 PAGE 4 i transportation and aggregate producers in the area. The true strength of the program lies with the citizen involvement to change driver's attitudes and habits, which can not be done by the police alone. I 3.3 Components of a Road Watch Program The responsibilities listed below are general guidelines only and may vary from { municipality to municipality. A) Set-Up - Responsibilities of Road Watch Implementation Committee Members: 1) To actively participate in the creation of the program, and then ensure its on- going maintenance. Obtain a suitable computer and printer for the program. 2) Set budgets and fund raising goals so as to actively seek out sponsors to endorse and fund the implementation of the program either through cash donations or by providing services. 3) To obtain drop boxes and find suitable locations throughout the municipality. 4) To promote the program with ongoing awareness and education through a variety of venues with production and distribution of Citizen Complaint Forms and safety messages to residents to ensure the public is aware of the motoring safety initiative. Organize a community kick off with media coverage. � L � REPORT NO.: WD-11-99 PAGE 5 B) Maintenance- Responsibilities of Road Watch Committee.Members: 1) To work with the Police by providing them with complete, verified complaints and distribution letters for authorization on a timely basis. 2) To continually promote safe driving habits and provide residents with an avenue to do something about unsafe drivers. 3) To seek out sponsors to endorse and fund the on-going maintenance of the program either through cash donations or by providing services. C) Responsibilities of the General Public: 1) This program depends on resident participation through the completion of the Citizen Report Forms and dropping them into the drop boxes provided. 2) To accomplish this, the residents must be aware of and support the program, and be able to accurately obtain the licence plate number and other details of the infraction. 3) The program is designed to protect the anonymity of the residents but the complainant must provide their own name, signature and personal information or the Police can consider it a valid submission. D) Responsibilities of Police: 1) To endorse The Road Watch Committee Members through a screening process established by the Police Volunteer Services Co-ordinator due to possible access to confidential information. j12 h I i I c a� i REPORT NO.: WD-11-99 PAGE 6 a 2) To authorize letters to alleged dangerous or aggressive drivers requesting j them to voluntarily co-operate and adopt a more responsible approach to i driving. a second letter and additional phone contact for a second reported i incident and personal visit for a third reported incident if the police feel it is justified. To provide letterhead and postage for form letters, answer general enquiries and provide telephone contact for recipients of letters. 3) Provide access for approved members of the Road Watch Committee to information necessary for the distribution of warning letters to offending motorists. 4) To provide a liaison person to work with the volunteers. E) Responsibility of the Municipality: 1) To assist in the implementation of the process and provide lists of possible contacts such as developers, consultants, and contractors for fund raising purposes. 2) To permit, install and provide general maintenance of Road Watch signs at entrances to the municipality and urban centres. 3) To permit selected municipal locations as drop box locations for submissions of Citizen Report forms and promotional displays. 3.4 Town of Whitbv Road Watch Program The Town of Whitby Road Watch Program was launched June 11, 1998. The set-up of this program involved more than six months of heavy involvement, requiring community support through donations and personal time commitments. Once set up, the program is 1127 REPORT NO.: WD-11-99 PAGE 7 expected to be maintained by active members of the community such as service clubs, seniors, students and other interested parties to ensure the long term success of the program. The reliance on municipal staff and police should diminish as committee members maintain the program. The Town of Whitby had a good public volunteer base of twelve dedicated residents, who previously worked for the Police Services Storefront Operation, to begin their program and set up an implementation committee. The committee raised funds and purchased materials while schools and students donated their time to cut and assemble the 25 drop boxes. Businesses donating $1,000.00 or more were placed on the sponsor sheet and included with distributed materials. Some sponsors provide some or all of the costs of items such as fridge magnets.with the road watch logo and their business name. The cost of vehicle sun visor pads was also offset by the use of advertising. The Municipality of Whitby donated$7,500 while other fund raising generated over$30,000.00. Preliminary Budget Items For Whitby: Road Watch highway signs, installed(50) $5,000 Computer and software 3,000 Citizen Report Forms 500 Decals,posters 2,000 Drop boxes 2,500 Distribution costs 10,800 Letter postage ! 1,000 Stationery 1,200 TOTAL $26,000 Whitby has received approximately 300 citizen complaint forms between June and November,, 1998. Scugog Township has also created a Road Watch Program and has received approximately 60 citizen complaint forms. ? ' 28 REPORT NO.: NVD-11-99 PAGE 8 3.5 Creation of a Clarington Road Watch Program: The Public Works Department fully supports this type of community program which emphasizes motoring safety. The Municipality of Clarington does not have a high motor vehicle accident fatality rate to stir public support as demonstrated in Caledon, or an existing volunteer base, such as in Whitby, to begin the process. Due to the geographic size of Clarington, some additional expenses would be involved in installing and maintaining road signs on all the entrance points and at each urban centre. Clarington Public Works is prepared to assist a Road Watch Committee, primarily with the signing requirements. Inspector Ross Smith of Durham Regional Police, Clarington Community Office, has assured his full co-operation with a Road Watch Committee if it can be set up and maintained by the community. A presentation was made by Janet Vendrig of the Scugog Road Watch Committee to the Clarington Healthy Communities Committee on January 20, 1999. From this presentation, along with assistance from local media coverage, the Durham Regional Police were able to organize an initial Clarington Road Watch Committee meeting on February 16, 1999. Staff are confident that this collection of volunteers will be able to create and maintain this program. 3.6 Clarinaton Radar Message Board Program (Existing) During 1998, the Municipality recognized that the public was concerned about aggressive drivers and purchased a Radar Message Board (radar gun with electronic display board) for staff traffic studies and for public use to deter speeding on residential streets. Although the unit has received some publicity through local papers, the unit has only been actively promoted to groups and individuals who have been in contact with Public Works Department regarding a specific traffic problem. It is an excellent way for residents to verify the speed of motorists travelling on residential streets and provide the police with licence plate information. This unit should be actively promoted by the Road Watch REPORT NO.: `VD-11-99 PAGE 9 Committee as a device which can be borrowed from Public Works Department to assist the public in identifying speeding motorists for the police. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 From the above, it is concluded that a Road Watch Program would promote safe driving and is supported by both Clarington Public Works and the Durham Regional Police, but cannot succeed without active community participation. A contribution by the municipality towards the purchase and installation of the signs plus a contribution of between $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 from the Ministry of Transportation will assist in getting the program started and encourage other corporate sponsors. The Clarington Healthy Communities Committee has assisted by finding an initial volunteer base to implement and tun the program. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by,' Stephen A.Vokes,P.
