REPORT NO.: WD -28 -86
BACKGROUND & REPORT
Each year a Road Inspection Tour is arranged by the Public
Works Department for Members of Council, in order that
various areas of concern may be viewed and assessed, and
also to give Councillors the opportunity to familiarize
themselves with construction proposals and maintenance
needs.
It is usual for the Tour to be taken in the early spring of
the year when potential problems and spring break -up are
most evident. In the past, the Tour has been scheduled for
two days in order to cover the complete municipality. A
small bus or window van will be obtained by the Public Works
Department and the tour will commence each day at 9:00 a.m.
from the Police and Fire Building on Church Street,
Bowmanville. It is suggested that the Town Administrator
and the Public Works Department Secretary be invited to join
the members of Council on this tour.
In order that the itinerary can be prepared, Councillors are
requested to communicate any areas of particular interest or
concern to the Public Works Department not later than one
week in advance of the proposed Tour.
Members of the Press are cordially invited to join Members
of Council and staff in the 1986 Town of Newcastle Road
Inspection Tour.
