MEMORANDUM #80
November 29, 1976
Mr. B. Tink, Chairman of the Public Works Committee
J. Dunham, Director of Public Works
Proposed Sidewalk from Highway #2 to Waverley Road
Due to the right-of-way contours, it would appear impractical
to consider a sidewalk as such. This proposal would mean a
sidewalk at one point would have to cross an existing ditch
and continue behind the guide rail northerly to Highway X12.
Maintenance of the same would be impossible. I have also
considered the opposite side of the road, however, identical
conditions prevail.
In an attempt to eliminate mostly school children from walking
on the road, which is a rather dangerous situation, consideration
could be given to a paved shoulder on the south side. The
existing shoulder varies in width, however, a width of
approximately four feet for a distance of 1,137 feet could
be paved.
Further to this, line painting would be necessary such as a
solid line indicating what is now the edge of pavement plus
appropriate signs. Estimated cost for the above-mentioned is
$1,500.00.
Provision can be included in the 1977 budget if this proposal
is concurred with.
