REPORT NO.: WD-83-83 SUBJECT: REVERSION TO THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE OF A PORTION OF OLD DURHAM REGIONAL ROAD 20 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended: 1. That this report be received; and, 2. That a by-law be passed to accept the following portions of Old Durham Regional Road 20 as part of the Town's road system. a) The 10th Concession Road of the former Township of Darlington from the east limit of Durham Road 20, easterly to the east limit of the former Clarke /Darlington Townline Road; and, b) The former Clarke /Darlington Townline Road from the north limit of Durham Road 20 northerly to the south limit of the former Darlington /Manvers Townline Road; and, 3.

The Region reconstructed and realigned Road 20 to eliminate two dangerous 90° turns at the Townline. Construction has been completed and it is now appropriate for the Region to eliminate the sections of the former Road 20 which no longer serve a Regional function. These road sections provide connections to the Town's road system and should therefore become part of that system. Although the reversion was discussed with Town staff, the Region neglected to secure the concurrence of Council. Being now cognizant of this fact, the Region wishes to ensure that the Town is satisfied with the reversions. The road sections to be reverted have been reviewed and it was found that minor surface repairs are required. Staff at the Region have agreed to perform such repairs. Having made these arrangements, and considering the other facts in this matter, it is staff's opinion that the reversions are acceptable. As pointed out previously, the sections of road involved serve a Town, more than a Regional, function. Furthermore, they will be recognized in the Road Needs Study and the Town will receive subsidy for their maintenance. It is, therefore, recommended that a by -law accepting these roads be passed by Council. Respectfully submitted, R.G. Dupui , P. Eng., Director of Public Works. RGD:jco Sep er 27, 1983.

THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to the Town of Newcastle, Report Attachment #1 - Area Map Attachment 42 - Proposed Reversion By -Law Because of structural and operational deficiencies, Regional Road 20, from Regional Road 14 easterly for 2.6 km was reconstructed in 1982. As part of this project, the jog at the former Townships of Clarke and Darlington boundary line was eliminated. Portions of the old Regional Road 20 alignment should be kept open to provide connections to the Town of Newcastle roads in the area and these roads now function as extensions to the Town roads. Since these portions of the old Regional Road 20 do not now fulfill a Regional Road function, it is necessary to revert them to the Town of Newcastle. It is noted that the realignment of Regional Road 20 is being by -lawad through the Road Consolidation By -Law recommended in Commissioner's Report No.170 -83, included in this agenda. Those portions of old Road 20 which are not being reverted to the Town of Newcastle are not included in the Road Consolidation By -law and a subsequent report is being prepared for the Works Committee dealing with their closure and conveyance. The road reversions as outlined in this report have been discussed with staff of the Town of Newcastle who have indicated their concurrence. D3 Recommended for Presentation to Committee D.R.
