REPORT NO. WD -81 -84
REPORT:
In considering a similar recommendation to the above for the
installation of fences and gates on the Oshawa /Newcastle
Townline in Concession 6 of the former Township of
Darlington, Council directed an investigation and report on
the subject matter. We allowed some time to determine how
the Townline Road proposal would proceed and are now
satsified that it is well on its way. Fences and gates
should be installed at that location before year's end.
As the proposal also followed the direction taken by the
City of Oshawa on road allowances with similar
circumstances, and the City had experienced some problems
with vandalism at those locations, we also wished to
determine whether this type of proposal would fail. From
discussions with staff at the City, we are satisfied that
the difficulties with vandalism can be overcome provided
certain provisions are made. Accordingly, we are confident
that similar arrangements in the Town of Newcastle can
work.
With this in mind, it is, therefore, recommended that
similar arrangements be made on these other two road
allowances.
Respectfully submitted,
R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng.,
Director of Public Works.
