form of barriers, signs and a supervisor for erection

6. That the Bowmanville Business Centre be advised that
erection and removal of the signs and barriers will
be their responsibility and they be requested to

Report
The Bowmanville Business Centre proposes to hold a "Sidewalk
Sale" on Saturday, July 23, 1983 from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
and have portions of King Street and Temperance Street
closed to accommodate same. This request has been
considered and it is acceptable to the Works Department.
Furthermore, the closure of the King Street Connecting Link
(Hwy.#2) has been reviewed with the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications and their attached
correspondence indicates concurrence.
In the past, events such as the Santa Clause Parade,
Sidewalk Sales, etc. , have been set up such that the Public
Works Department has taken full responsibility for signs,
barricades, re-routing traffic, etc. The result was high
non-recoverable costs to the Works Department.

More recently, in conjuration with the 125th Anniversary
Parade, alternate arrangements were explored. The Works
Department provided the necessary materials and one person
to co-ordinate the arrangements and the parade organizers
performed the placement of the barricades, etc. A very
satisfactory, and much less costly arrangement resulted. It
is hoped that similar arrangements can be made for the
"Sunrise Sale" through issuance of a Road Occupancy Permit
and appropriate arrangements with the Works Department.
Respectfully submitted,
R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng. ,
I/ Director of Public Works.

Dear Sir:
Re: Proposed Temporary Road Closing
and Associated Detours
Town of Newcastle
Your request of 83 03 23, has been reveiwed by this office and
our Regional Traffic Section. `
The closure of King Street (Highway 2) between Scugog Street and
Division Street does have an adequate detour in either Church Street
to the North or Queen Street to the south. The Ministry feels either
detour �ould suffice with a minimum disruption to through traffic on
Highway 2.
Therefo e, the Ministry has no objections to your proposal.
Yours truly,
CRA/tm C.R. Arbuckle,
Assistant to:
W.W. Osborn,
District Municipal Engineer.
