SUBJECT: Proposed Parking Meters for the Villages of Newcastle
and Orono
At the Public Works Committee meeting on
April 81 1976, resolution ;M-95-76 was passed
asking for a study to be made in the feasibility
of meters along the main streets of the above
mentioned villages.
Since that meeting, I have been speaking with
the Region in rogards to the placing of meters
alon some of the Regional Roads. The locations
which have been approved by the Region are as
follows:
VILLAGE OF L41gCASTLE
Mill Street - King Street to 200 feet northerly
(Regional Road#17) - both sides
VILLAGE OF ORONO
Main Street - Centre Street to 100 feet of
(Regional Road #17) - Park Street - both sides
The other location of meters would be on King
Street in the Village of Newcastle which is Pres-
ently under the jurisdiction of the Town of New-
castle.
Kinn, Street - baldl;,in Street to Beaver Street
- both siAr.s
The Region of Durham have agreed to all these
locations on the conditions that the Town of New-
castle would be required to supply and install the
meters, plus maintenance of meters, plus the en
forcement. All regulations as set out in the pro-
. 2
posed by-law would also have to be complied with
at all times whether on Regional Roads or roads
under the jurisdiction of the Town of Newcastle.
The Region feels that meters are not required
in these villages at this time as the majority
of the parking is occupied around the weekends and
there seems to be a continued flow of traffic in
the villages.
On King Street in the Village of Newcastle we
feel that the angle parking as proposed in the
new by-law could be subject to change at any time
either the Town of Newcastle or if and when it
becomes a Regional Road by the Region.
Since there are no meters in these villages at
the present time, the operation of installing new
meters in the Villages will be very costly.
The costs are as follows:
Single Head - $138.80 80 each
Double Head - $262.05 each
Post and Installation- $35.00 each
The following are required:
Villaze of OroH -
Singlegle Head $832.80
15 Double Heads - $3930.75
21 Posts - 4735.00
Village of Newcastle
Mill Street -
2 Single Heads - $277.60
6 Double Heads $ 1 572.30
8 Posts - 4280.00
King Street -
3 Single Heads $1+16.40
58 Double Heads - $15,198.90
61 Posts - $ 21135.00
Total Costs .... $25,378.75
Therefore, the Legion has approved the location
of the proposed meters and the total cost of in-
stallation should be $25,378.75• These costs do not
include maintenance or enforcement.
