5. That advertisements of the road closures and detours
be placed in the local newspapers; and,
6. That arrangements for placement and removal of
barriers and signs be as in 1983, between the Works
Department and the Bowmanville Business Centre; and,
7. That a copy of this report be forwarded to the
Bowmanville Business Centre with the request that they
make appropriate arrangements with the Works
Department well in advance of their proposed event.
The attached correspondence has been received from the
Bowmanville Business Centre requesting the Town's
concurrence and assistance in holding its annual sidewalk
sale. Similar events have been held in previous years and
arrangements made between the Bowmanville Business Centre
and Works Department have worked out quite satisfactorily.
These are outlined in the recommendations to this report.
It is, therefore, recommended that Town concurrence with the
Bowmanville Business Centre sidewalk sale be granted.
Respectfully submitted,

Director of Public Works.

The Board of Management, as the result of a telephone canvas of the
members of the Board (in lieu of a regular meeting in February) has
decided to hold its annual Sidewalk Sale, on July 19, 20, and 21,
1984. On this occasion it was decided that on Thursday and Friday
that Temperance Street should be closed to accomodate the amuse-
ment rides; from King Street south to the edge of the St. John'
church property.
Then, on Saturday, July 21, it was agreed, based on the very posi-
tive results from last year, that King Street from the west side of
Division Street to the east side of Scugog Road; and Temperance
Street from the Post Office south to the edge of the St. John's
church property, be closed from 6 a. m. until 3 a. m. (9 hours).
A 17 foot -wide route will be left unobstructed for use by emergency
vehicles between Division Street and Scugog Road.
Again, special arrangements of a one -way nature will be made from
Division Street along King Street to Brock's Service Centre. Park-
ing will be available in the new off - street parking lots, and on the
side streets. As a result, it is proposed that there be no parking
on King Street (only) from George Street to Scugog Road duxi:ns�
the three -day period of the sale.
In recognition of the extra time required when both local and Prov-
incial permission is needed, we would urge you to pursue this matter
at the earliest possible date.
Please keep us informed of the developments in this regard, as this
proposal progresses.
Yours very truly
Garth Gilpin
Business Manager
