For the past number of years it has been the practice of the Public

areas where improvements could be considered in the future.

WD-17-83 - 2
The annual tour has proved to be both popular and useful as it gives
all those attending the opportunity to see all areas of the Town ,
and better appreciate the problems presented in the Department's
efforts to provide maximum service within the constraints of the
annual budget.
REPORT:
It is intended that all major (proposed) construction projects be
included in the itinerary for the 1983 Road Inspection Tour, for
example:
Darlington Area:
Holt Road (Ontario Hydro)
Preston Road
Holt/Robinson/Drew Road
Toulley Road
Ferner Avenue , Mitchell 's Corners
Ormiston Street , Hampton.
Bowmanville Area:
Mearns Avenue Crossing
Baseline Road
Scugog Street
Village of Newcastle:
King Street (Connecting Link)
Mill Street
Clarke Area:
Golf Course Road
'Lovekin' Crossing
Bridges , etc :
Graham Creek Bridge
Morgan 's Road Culvert
'Hale's ' Bridge.
It would be most helpful if Members of Council would advise the
Public Works Department of any specific areas of interest and/or
concern , which they wish to have included on the Tour. It is pro-
proposed that the route should take in roads (of any status) which
WD-17-83 - 3 -
have been the subject of reports to Council or calls to individual
politicians , or have presented an ongoing problem insofar as
maintenance is concerned.
The second week in April is recommended as the best time for the
Road Inspection Tour so that the results of winter conditions can
be easily identified.
Respectfully submitted ,
R.G. Dupuis , P. Eng. ,
Director of Public Works.
