REPORT NO. WD-1-85
REPORT:
As part of the ongoing proposal for reconstruction of
Baseline Road in Bowmanville, it was found that the section
between Liberty Street and the Duke Street ramp to Highway
401 is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications. Thus, early in 1984 a
request was made to the Ministry to determine their desires
with respect to having reconstruction of this section
included in the Town 's project.
The attached reply was received from the Ministry requesting
the following:
1 . Type of Cross Section ;
2. Traffic Signalization;
3. Preliminary costs for design and construction ;
4. A resolution from Council agreeing to assume
ownership of the road.
Over the past several months, the requested technical data
has been compiled and reviewed with the Ministry of
Transporation and Communications. Now, in order for the
Ministry to allocate the necessary funds for its share of
the work, they require some assurance of the Town ' s
intentions, To provide such assurance and permit the matter
to proceed, it is the therefore appropriate for the Town to
pass a resolution as requested.

REPORT NO. WD-1-85
Since all parties appear to have been of the belief that the
section of Baseline Road between Liberty and Duke Streets
was in fact a Town road, and maintenance has been performed
accordingly, it is recommended that this arrangement be
officially recognized through passing of the
recommendations of this report.
Repectfully submitted,
R.G. Dupuis , P. Eng. ,

Dear Sir, j
Re: Baseline Road between Liberty Street
and Duke Street in Bowmanville
Your letter of January 30, 1984 to our Port Hope District
Office was forwarded to the Central Region Planning and Design
Section for our consideration and reply.
We have reviewed and discussed the various aspects of
your proposal and agree, in principle, that the above noted section
can be reconstructed at the same time as you plan to reconstruct
Baseline Road between Duke Street and Waverly Road. However,
before the Ministry makes a commitment to this expenditure, the
following clarification from the Town Council is required:
1. Type of Cross-Section
2. Traffic Signal Requirements
3. Preliminary Cost for Design and Construction
4. A Resolution from the Town Council agreeing to assume
ownership upon completion of the work.
When these matters have been resolved, we will consider
an allocation of funds for this project.
Yours truly,
RR/phw R. Romaniw,
cc: H. Orlando Project Manager.
