Libby Racansky was present regarding Report PDS-006-26, Draft Clarington
Waterfront Strategy. Using an electronic presentation, Libby outlined concerns
regarding the Courtice waterfront trail, noting the limited 1.3 km length due to
surrounding land uses and requesting correction of maps and signage to clarify
public access from Courtice. L. Racansky requested that consideration by given to
acquiring narrow, unused portions of adjacent lands to create a trail to address
shoreline erosion and reduce issues between pedestrians and cyclists, particularly
affecting seniors, wheelchair users, and families. Libby noted that the shoreline
erosion was identified as a safety risk requiring stabilization measures, such as
planting, before additional structures are built. Libby concluded by stating there is
insufficient nearby parking and requested that more trail planning be done. L.
Racansky answered questions from the Members of Council.
Councillor Elhajjeh arrived at 7:01 p.m.

Application Fee Review and User Fee Bylaw Amendment
Mitch Morawetz was present regarding Report PDS-013-26, Planning Act
Application Fee Review and User Fee Bylaw Amendment. Mitch had only recently
become aware of the proposed fee changes. M. Morawetz expressed concern that
the proposed increases may disproportionately impact smaller developers,
homeowners, business owners, and farmers, particularly in rural Clarington. Mitch
acknowledged the need to balance cost recovery with service delivery but
cautioned that excessive fees could create issues advancing planning applications.
M. Morawetz commended Staff initiatives supporting rural Clarington and advised
that the proposed fees should not undermine those efforts. Mitch referred to the
Rural Community Improvement Plan and suggested consideration be given to
measures to help offset costs for farmers and rural property owners. M. Morawetz is
concerned that a generalized approach may unfairly affect smaller an d rural
applicants and requested that Council consider fairness and equity in the fee
structure, and that the proposed fees take effect on July 1 to allow applicants with
files currently underway an opportunity to advance prior to the increase. M.
Morawetz acknowledged that, while larger developers have been consulted,
Page 11

smaller businesses and rural stakeholders may not yet be fully aware of the
proposed changes. Mr. Morawetz responded to questions from Members of

9.1.1 Endorsement of Letter from DRART
Resolution # C-075-26
Moved by Councillor Rang
Seconded by Councillor Anderson
Whereas the alleged use of a racial slur by a senior leader within the Durham
Regional Police Services (DRPS) is deeply troubling and harmful, given the term’s
history of dehumanization and systemic oppression against Black people;
And whereas the use of such language by someone in a position of authority within
a policing institution undermines public trust and raises serious concerns about
respect for the dignity, safety, and humanity of Black residents;
And whereas incidents of anti-Black racism further erode already fragile
relationships between Black communities and policing institutions, particularly at a
time when Black families across Southern Ontario have expressed ongoing

Moved by Councillor Anderson
Seconded by Councillor Rang
Whereas Clarington Diversity Advisory Committee (CDAC) is committed to
meaningful reconciliation and to ensuring that its practices reflect respect for the
histories, rights, and presence of Indigenous Peoples;
And whereas additional historical information was presented to CDAC indicating
that the lands upon which we gather are situated on the traditional territory of the
Huron-Wendat people, who inhabited the north shore of Lake Ontario, including the
area near the Rouge River and toward Prince Edward County, particularly during
the 14th and 15th centuries;
And whereas the Huron-Wendat were agriculturalists who established villages near
water sources, and their presence in the region historically overlapped with other
Nations;
And whereas land acknowledgements are living statements that should reflect
accurate historical understanding, evolving knowledge, and ongoing relationships
with Indigenous communities;
And whereas CDAC recognizes the importance of engaging directly with local First
Nations communities to ensure that any acknowledgement statement is respectful,
accurate, and reflective of their perspectives; and
And whereas land acknowledgements are most meaningful when delivered as a
personal reflection that demonstrates individual awareness, learning, and
commitment, rather than solely as a scripted statement;
Now therefore be it resolved that Council direct Staff to:
1. Formally review the current Land Acknowledgement Statement to ensure
historical accuracy, inclusivity, and alignment with best practices;

Resolution # C-078-26
Moved by Councillor Anderson
Seconded by Councillor Rang
Whereas a thriving democracy requires public accountability, but also a climate
which encourages good people to step up and support their community without fear
of personal attacks and misinformation;
And whereas advisory committees serve an important role in advising Council on
specific issues;
And whereas advisory committee members volunteer their time, effort and lived
experiences to make Clarington a safe, livable, and equitable community;
And whereas advisory committee members should feel safe, valued and
encouraged in their work;
And whereas the current advisory committee structure may present challenges to
those from various socio-economic backgrounds;
And whereas municipalities such as Ajax, Pickering and Toronto have changed their
advisory committee policies to better reflect the important work and commitment of
advisory committee members;
Now therefore be it resolved that Council direct Staff to:
1. Explore opportunities to support current and future advisory committee
members in fulfilling their work, including, but not limited to, the following:
2. Regular training for advisory committee chairs and vice-chairs (and other
committee members as needed) on topics such as meeting procedure,

Paula Secchi was present to express concerns with the height of the proposed
three-story townhouses being proposed and the impacts to neighbouring
residents. Paula suggested low-density alternatives, such as multiplex units with
reduced building depth that could better fit the site and minimize the impact on
abutting properties.
Rodger Miller, Miller Planning Services, was present on behalf of Peach Valley
Developments Limited. Using an electronic presentation Rodger outlined the
proposed 23‑unit stacked townhouse development, site access, parkin g, traffic
generation, and compatibility with current and future planning designations,
noting proximity to planned higher‑density development in the Bowmanville East
Urban Centre Secondary Plan area. Rodger indicated additional applications,
including site plan approval and draft condominium, would be required should the
proposal proceed and answered questions from Members of Committee.

5. Presentations / Delegations
5a. Discussion regarding ditches and drainage – B. Novak, Clarington Public
Works
B. Novak addressed questions from Committee members.
• Roadside ditch work requires pre-planning to ensure that locates for
infrastructure are identified before work is done.
• Public works cleans up extensive amounts of roadside garbage, but it can be
difficult to keep up with.
• The Municipality is prohibited from using pesticides in ditches to control weeds.
Page 50
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington March 12, 2026
• Road rehabilitation is a major component of the Municipality’s budget, but due to
large cost of these projects, the Municipality needs to prioritize which roads are
rehabilitated.
• To report dead or dying trees, or branches that are impeding visibility on roads, a
service request can be made through the Clarington website, by phone or by
emailing Public Works staff directly.
• Various agencies perform work in ditches and are provided with information
about infrastructure in the ditches through Ontario One Call. Information on the
location of private tile drains is likely not available through this process.
H. Zekveld thanked B. Novak for his presentation.
5b. Clarington Waterfront Strategy – D. Perkins, Clarington Community Planning

D. Perkins answered questions from Committee members. The Waterfront Strategy
is a draft vision for the entire Clarington waterfront and doesn’t address erosion
concerns on private property in specific areas.
H. Zekveld thanked D. Perkins for his presentation.

At the March DAAC meeting there was a presentation regarding the Living Lab
Project on climate change. It identifies needs and tests and evaluates various
agricultural technologies. The April 14 DAAC meeting will feature Rob Black. AACC

Pickering lands and High Speed Rail projects are being followed by DAAC.
H. Zekveld thanked T. Barrie for his update.
8b. Durham Region Federation of Agriculture (DRFA) – M. Morawetz
At the February DRFA meeting, agricultural impacts of the Northeast Picking
Secondary Plan and consultation on the future of the Pickering Airport lands were
discussed. Consultation on the Pickering airport lands is open until April 17.

9a. Changes to Planning Fee By-law
M. Morawetz noted his concern that the AACC was not consulted on proposed
changes to fees for applications under the Planning Act ahead of a report with
recommendations at the March 9th PDC meeting. S. Jennings indicated that she
could send the members the report that went to the meeting. M. Morawetz indicated
that Clarington has not brought forward an implementing zoning by-law for OFDUs
to permit them as of right, that the proposed fee increases are high and could have
the effect of stifling agricultural producers.
S. Jennings noted that the AACC could focus on the Municipality’s upcoming
municipal zoning by-law review for OFDU’s. The Committee will discuss this at the
next meeting.
9b. Tile Drainage GIS Information
C. Rickard raised the issue of tile drains being damaged during roadside ditch work.
He suggested GIS location data for the outlets could be acquired so that utilities
working in ditches could be aware of this infrastructure. A motion was brought
forward.
026-007 Moved by C. Rickard seconded by T. Barrie
That the municipality investigate acquiring location data from OMAFA for tile outlets
either within the municipal rights-of-way or at the edge of the municipal right of way.

Carried
5. Presentations / Delegations
5a. Community Improvement Plan Update – Jonathan Hack
Jonathan Hack from Sierra Planning and Management provided a presentation
regarding work on the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) Update since they
presented to the AACC in December 2025. The draft recommendations are planned
to be released at the end of April and recommended to Council in June 2026.
Implementation would likely wait until after the 2026 municipal election.
J. Hack focused this presentation on the program specific to agriculture. It would
apply to any lands designated Rural or Prime Agricultural Areas throughout the
Page 54
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington April 9, 2026
municipality. Through consultation, they heard requests for support for On Farm
Diversified Uses (OFDUs) and agri-tourism, façade improvements, and streamlined
approvals and guidance documents. J. Hack noted that CIP programs must have a
public benefit and should promote economic development. They are working on
recommendations to update Clarington’s CIP program.
The first proposed program is an agricultural signage improvement grant for
OFDUs. It would fund 50% of the cost, up to a maximum of $7,500, for design and
placement of signs in publicly accessible areas. Projects would need to be valued at
a minimum of $3,500 to qualify. The second proposed program is an agricultural
building renovation grant that would fund 50% of costs up to $25,000 to redevelop
farm buildings for OFDUs.
Committee members provided feedback:
• The recommendations could urge Clarington to undertake updates to the
Zoning By-law quickly, so that more OFDUs are permitted as of right.
• The minimum value of projects could be prohibitive. A recent sign installation
cost $1400.
• The agricultural building renovation grant could be expanded to support
preservation of agricultural historic features to support the agricultural
heritage of Clarington.
• The wording of the agricultural building renovation grant should be modified
to include new buildings, not just renovations.
H. Zekveld thanked J. Hack for his presentation.
5b. Growing Agri-Food Durham Update – Stacey Jibb, Steffan Lemon
S. Jibb and S. Lemon provided a brief presentation regarding Invest Durham’s
activities in the past year related to the Growing Agri-Food Durham Action Plan.
Some activities include:
• Collaborating with local agricultural organizations like Durham Farm Fresh,
Durham Farm Connections, Durham Region Federation of Agriculture and
local advisory committees;
• Promoting local agriculture through digital campaigns;
• Supporting north Durham municipalities to streamline regulatory processes
for OFDUs and ag-related uses;
• Advocating for agricultural infrastructure at the Hamilton Oshawa Port
Authority; and
• Partnering with the Barrett Centre to support urban agriculture.
H. Zekveld thanked S. Jibb and S. Lemon for their presentation.
6. Business Arising from the Minutes
6a. Farm Tour Planning
B. Found shared a quote from Pound and Pestle of $14.95 per person for
sandwiches and desserts. A guest count will need to be provided at least a week
Page 55
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington April 9, 2026
ahead of time. Lloyd will bring beverages. Tom will confirm PA system capabilities.
If Invest Durham’s agricultural fact sheets are available in time, they will be handed
out at the event.
6b. Tile Drainage Outlet Information
In response to the Committee’s motion at the last meeting, S. Jennings followed up
with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) to confirm
the type of information that’s collected regarding tile drainage. OMAFA does not
collect information about the location of outlets. Clarington Infrastructure Staff
confirmed that locate information is detected using wires in the right of way, and
utility companies are charged when their locate information is collected. Clarington
Infrastructure Staff also confirmed that tile drain outlets can drain into the municipal
right of way, but the outlets should end on the farmer’s property.
Committee members suggest that best practices are to clearly mark tile drainage
outlets in the field and ensure the marker is maintained. They noted that a concern
remains that the ditches may not be deep enough to convey water if they haven’t
been maintained.
6c. Clarington Planning Application Fees
S. Jennings noted that Council approved an increase in planning application fees at
their last meeting.

Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington April 9, 2026
DRFA is hosting a meeting with surrounding agricultural federations with Alto staff
regarding high speed rail. They will be sharing lessons learned from the Highway
407 project to mitigate impacts on the agricultural community. Public comments are
open until April 24.
DRFA and other farm organizations attended a round table with Transport Canada
regarding the Pickering Airport Lands. DRFA is working to create a joint submission
with other federations to urge that the lands be protected for agriculture.
DRFA has submitted comments on the Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan
regarding edge planning and staging of development.
With assistance from Invest Durham, the DRFA is hosting an OFDU members day
on the third week of June. It will include a farm tour, various speakers, and lunch. It
will be open to farmers in the region and economic development professionals.
Committee members asked what the OFA’s position on High Speed Rail will be. M.
Morawetz noted that they haven’t publicly taken a position against the project. He
noted that we should differentiate what Alto can affect and what has already been
set out by the federal government. DRFA is advocating on specifics of the project
such as stray voltage, how the crossings will function, and maintenance of the right
of way. J. Knox suggested that it would be helpful at the roundtable meeting to
acknowledge the reason behind the project. Electrification is important for
preventing global warming, which is a major threat to agriculture.

6. Delegations
a. Chair’s Notes
The Chair reminded the Committee that delegates may speak for a maximum of
ten minutes, and questions may be asked afterwards
b. HPA2026-002 – 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville
J.R. Freethy Architect presented the intent of the heritage permit application. The
existing Council Chamber windows are experiencing issues such as leaking and
daylight intrusion. The proposal includes replacing the five upper windows,
sunshades, and blinds, while retaining all existing interior and exterior sills, trim,
and mouldings.
The window frames will remain white to match the heritage windows, and interior
trim will be temporarily removed during construction to ensure its preservation.
Exterior elevation drawings were reviewed by the Committee. It was noted that
the proposed windows have an estimated 50‑year lifespan.
The Committee asked whether the existing windows were original to the building.
The delegate confirmed they were installed in 1988. Members expressed a
Page 64
Page 3
preference for the replacement windows to closely resemble the original
windows.
c. HPA2026-003 – 2020 Lambs Road, Bowmanville (Camp 30
J. MacLellan of Manorville Homes presented on the stabilization of the Cafeteria
Building at Camp 30.
The chimney has been deemed unsafe and will be dismantled, with bricks
carefully removed, catalogued, and stored for future reconstruction. Drone
footage shows significant deterioration, including bulging masonry and vegetation
growth.
Repairs are required, particularly to the east façade, which is bulging and
partially collapsing. This façade will be taken down and rebuilt to reflect the
original 1925 construction using lime‑based mortar. The lower tier of the building
will be fully replaced, while the cavity wall will be temporarily shored. Basement
work will focus on abatement and structural repairs, as the basement is not
considered a significant heritage element.
The project is divided into Phase 1a and Phase 1b due to funding constraints.
Phase 1a, which is currently funded, consists primarily of abatement and is
expected to take approximately 12 weeks. Phase 1b, subject to future funding,
will include masonry repairs, enclosure of the building, and interior repairs. Once
completed, the building will be secured, with accessibility and vestibule
improvements to be considered in a future phase.
7. Business Arising from Previous Minutes:
a. Notice of Intention to Demolish – 1738 Bloor Street, Courtice
S. Gattie, Principal Planner in Development Review for the Municipality of
Clarington, introduced herself and advised that Redwood Properties has offered
to host a site visit for the Committee.
T. Hunt referenced previous Committee concerns regarding active Planning Act
applications and recent provincial changes that limit the Committee’s role. An
update on the revised process was included in the agenda package.
I. Franklin of KLM Planning noted that demolition is intended to proceed as soon
as possible, with the heritage commemoration plan to be completed prior to
demolition. ERA has been retained as the project’s heritage consultant to
prepare the commemoration plan, and a site visit was encouraged to assist the
Committee in identifying elements for preservation and commemoration. It was
clarified that no work is currently underway on the site.
Page 65
Page 4
The Committee discussed potential heritage commemoration opportunities within
the subdivision, including use of a municipal park and possible street naming.
Discussion focused on the original stone structure, its early construction date,
and its relationship to other historic stone houses in Courtice.
Concerns were raised about the timing of demolition in relation to finalizing the
commemoration plan and the need for good‑faith coordination to ensure
meaningful heritage outcomes. While acknowledging legislative constraints, the
Committee emphasized creative and effective approaches to commemoration
and salvage.
The Committee agreed to participate in a site visit at 1738 Bloor Street and to
provide consolidated written comments following the visit.
8. Correspondence and Council Referrals
a. Information from L. Racansky regarding Hancock Neighbourhood.
The Committee received information from L. Racansky regarding the significance
of the Hancock Neighbourhood, following up on a previous delegation.
L. Racansky was present and invited questions from the Committee. Discussion

the late Hannu Halminen’s role in advancing natural heritage protection and
conservation in the area. Provincially significant wetlands, watercourses within
and adjacent to private lands, and concerns related to large trees and existing
vegetation were also discussed.
The Committee considered options to formally recognize Mr. Hancock’s
contributions, including the potential for a memorial garden or recognition plaque.

is worthy of designation.

iii. 61 Liberty Street North
Property owner E. Russon was present and requested permission to address the
Committee, which was approved by the Chair.
Ms. Russon stated that she believes the original construction date of the house is
1838, noting that John Medland’s great-niece indicated the house was at least 50
years old when he moved into the property, based on a 1958 article.
Staff clarified that the ARA Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report did not
recommend designation, finding that the property met design value criteria only.
The owner asked what designation would mean in practical terms, including
whether interior features would be regulated. Staff explained that heritage
permits are required for alterations or demolition affecting attributes identified in a
designation by-law, and that designation also provides access to the Heritage
Incentive Grant Program.
Ms. Russon noted the presence of interior eared architraves. The Chair
requested that photographs of these features be provided to Staff for the file.
The Committee suggested certain errors in the ARA Cultural Heritage Value
report and noted that a previous subcommittee evaluation had recommended
designation. Staff advised that because ARA did not recommend designation, a
Statement of Significance will need to be prepared by Staff.
Moved by: V. Suppan
Seconded by: S. Conway
To recommend 61 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville be designated under Part IV
of the Ontario Heritage Act.

property supports broader downtown heritage conservation goals. The
Committee agreed the property meets design/physical and contextual value
criteria.
The Committee suggested certain errors in the ARA Cultural Heritage Evaluation

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
4-10 King Avenue East is located in the commercial core of the historic Village of Newcastle,
at the historic four-corners. It consists of a two-storey Italianate building constructed in circa
1859.
Physical/Design Value
4-10 King Avenue East is a representative example of a building constructed in the Italianate
architectural style, specifically the commercial Italianate form. The two -storey red brick
building is composed of two distinct sections divided by a fire wall which create a rectangular
plan fronting towards King Avenue East. The heavily ornamented side gable roof and one-
storey rear wing located on Mill Street carry through the Italianate aesthetic and emphasize
the buildings’ location on the corner. The building has predominantly segmentally arched
window openings with brick voussoirs and tin clad sills which is typical of Italianate
architecture. The building showcases eave returns and an ornate bracketed cornice along
façade and west elevation composed of individual projecting brackets of varying sizes and
molded frieze board which are key characteristics associated with Italianate design. The
building has a balanced façade, with each section showcasing balanced composition and
rhythmic elements. The west portion of the building, known as 4 King Avenue East, include s
a three bay façade with two entryway openings topped with rectangular transoms, whereas
the east sections centrally placed entrance includes decorative transom and sidelights
flanked by one-story canted bay windows. The bay windows are topped by truncated hip
roofs with bracketed cornices and include decorative brickwork features which are
representative of the Italianate architectural style.
Contextual Value
4-10 King Avenue East is important in defining, supporting, and maintaining the four corners
of the commercial core within the historic village of Newcastle. The development of the
commercial core in the mid-to-late 19th century played a significant role in the social and
economic development and growth of the community of Newcastle, which resulted in its
incorporation as a village in 1856. The lots lines, layout, and built form of the historic core is
consistent with typical 19th century commercial streetscape found throughout Ontario. The
King Avenue streetscape is comprised of predominantly one - to two-storey commercial and
institutional buildings of primarily brick construction with narrow, uniformed setbacks along
the street. Furthermore, the stylistic similarities between several properties, including red
brick construction, ornamented rooflines, decorative brickwork and balanced façades with
formal entrances, strengthens their contribution to the historic character of the commercial
area. 4-10 King Avenue East helps support the historic core through its setback, massing,
and decorative details which is consistent with the surrounding area. Due to its prominent
location at the north-east corner of King Avenue East and Mill Street, 4-10 King Avenue East
holds importance at the historic four corners, reinforced by the detailed ornamentation on
both the façade and west elevation. The four corners anchor the commercial core in the
historic village of Newcastle and defines the east and west side of King Avenue. It is notable
that 4-10 King Avenue served as Newcastle Village’s post office from 1880-1923.

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
2 Veterans Avenue is located on the south side of Veterans Avenue in the Town of
Bowmanville. The property contains a one -storey building constructed between 1946 and
1947 as part of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing Initiative.
Physical/Design Value
2 Veterans Avenue has design value as a representative example of purpose-built post-WWII
Victory Housing. Typical of this type of building is its one -storey construction, rectangular
plan, asymmetrical massing and side gable roof with modest overhanging eaves. The subject
building features a simple and compact form with frame construction and clad with horizontal
siding. 2 Veterans Avenue showcases unadorned rectangular window openings of various
sizes and a simple, single, entranceway opening located on a closed in portico topped by a
gable peak. The subject building does not feature any ornamentation or decorative features,
which is typical of the Victory House style. The building has an exterior brick chimney, which
is a feature found on all the Victory Houses within the planned Victory Housin g
neighbourhood.
Historical/Associative Value
2 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with the Veteran’s Housing initiative
spearheaded by the local municipal government as a result of the Veteran’s Land Act. The
subject property was originally part of local entrepreneur John Jury’s large estate, which was
purchased by the Town of Bowmanville in 1946 to be the site of Bowmanville’s veteran’s
housing subdivision. The Town of Bowmanville Council allocated funds to construct the
subdivision, likely marking the first time the town acted as a builder. The subject property is
one of 12 uniform lots established along both sides of Veterans Avenue, and one of 18 lots
undertaken as part of the Town of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing initiative. Throughout
Ontario and Canada, the planned and deliberate construction associated with these kinds of
Veteran’s Housing initiatives was the result of legislation like the Veteran’s Land Act. The
Veteran’s Land Act sought to provide affordable housing to returning veterans and personnel
associated with domestic war industries in Canada. 2 Veterans Avenue was constructed
between 1946 and 1947 by the Toronto Construction Company. As intended by the Veteran’s
Housing initiative, the first occupant of 2 Veterans Avenue was Gordon T. McPherson, who
purchased the property in April 1947. It is unclear if Gordon McPherson served with the
Canadian Armed Forces overseas, or if he was part of the domestic war effort, however a
newspaper article verified Gordon McPherson’s purchase of the subject property, where he
paid a $200 deposit on August 7, 1946. Gordon was a Freemason at the Cannington Masonic
Lodge and was a steward at St. Paul’s United Church. Gordon died June 24, 1975.
2 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with Camp 30, a Prisoner of War
Camp for German military officers that was located at the intersection of Concession Street
East and Lambs Road. Camp 30 was originally a Boys’ Training School, which was also built
on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal government in 1941
for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the cessation of World War
II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings and due to a post -war
material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used to construct the 18 Victory
Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services in the neighbourhood was also Page 88
supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not required for the Victory Housing
project.
Contextual Value
2 Veterans Avenue is important in supporting the character of the planned Victory Housing
neighbourhood located along Veterans Avenue, Second Street, and Lambs Lane. As part of
the Veteran’s Housing initiative begun by the Town of Bowmanville, simple one-storey Victory
Houses were constructed on 18 uniform lots in the planned community. All 18 buildings
followed a uniform and rhythmic layout and design achieved through setback, massing, and
height, which has created a cohesive and uniform streetscape. Specifically, along Veterans
Avenue the asymmetrical façade composition is consistent along the north side of the road
and opposite on the south side of the road, ultimately acting as mirror images of each other.
The subject property exhibits setback, height, and massing consistent with the character of
the area. 2 Veterans Avenue, and the surrounding 17 houses located in the neighbourhood,
support one of the best examples of a Victory Housing neighbourhood in the Municipalit y of
Clarington.
Description of Heritage Attributes
Veterans Avenue has design value as a representative example of purpose -built post-WWII
Victory Housing. The property contains the following heritage attributes that reflect this value:
• One-storey Victory House

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
5 Veterans Avenue is located on the south side of Veterans Avenue in the Town of
Bowmanville. The property contains a one -storey building constructed between 1946 and
1947 as part of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing Initiative.
Physical/Design Value
5 Veterans Avenue has design value as a representative example of purpose -built post-WWII
Victory Housing. Typical of this type of building is its one -storey construction, rectangular
plan, asymmetrical massing and side gable roof with modest overhanging eaves. The subject
building features a simple and compact form with frame construction clad with horizontal
siding. 5 Veterans Avenue showcases unadorned rectangular window openings and a
simple, single, asymmetrically placed entranceway opening located on a closed in portico
topped by a gable peak. The subject building does not feature any ornamentation or highly
decorative features, which is typical of the Victory House design. The building has an exterior
brick chimney, which is a feature found on all the Victory Houses within the planned Victory
Housing neighbourhood.
Historical/Associative Value
5 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with the Veteran’s Housing initiative
spearheaded by the local municipal government as a result of the Veteran’s Land Act. The
subject property was originally part of local entrepreneur John Jury’s large estate, which was
purchased by the Town of Bowmanville in 1946 to be the site of Bowmanville’s veteran’s
housing subdivision. The Town of Bowmanville Council allocated funds to construct the
subdivision, likely marking the first time the town acted as a builder. The subject property is
one of 12 uniform lots established along both sides of Veterans Avenue, and one of 18 lots
undertaken as part of the Town of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing initiative. Throughout
Ontario and Canada, the planned and deliberate construction associated with these kinds of
Veteran’s Housing initiatives was the result of legislation like the Veteran’s Land Act . The
Veteran’s Land Act sought to provide affordable housing to returning veterans and personnel
associated with domestic war industries in Canada. 5 Veterans Avenue was constructed
between 1946 and 1947 by the Toronto Construction Company. As intended by the Veteran’s
Housing initiative, the first occupant of 5 Veterans Avenue was Raymond Kowal, who
purchased the property in April 1947. Raymond Kowal served overseas with the 6th Hussars
in the Italian Campaign from 1941 until 1945, He was decorated severa l times for his service
and received the 39-45 Star, the Italian Star, the Defence of England Medal, the Middle West
Star, the Victory Medal, and the Canadian Voluntary Service Medal. After his discharge in
1946, he joined the OPP and worked mostly as a traffic officer.
5 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with Camp 30, a Prisoner of War
Camp for German military officers that was located at the intersection of Concession Street
East and Lambs Road. Camp 30 was originally a Boys’ Training School, which was also built
on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal government in 1941
for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the cessation of World War
II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings and due to a post-war
material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used to construct the 18 Victory
Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services in the neighbourhood was also Page 98
supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not required for the Victory Housing
project.
Contextual Value
5 Veterans Avenue is important in supporting the character of the Victory Housing
neighbourhood located along Veterans Avenue, Second Street, and Lambs Lane. As part of
the Veteran’s Housing initiative begun by the Town of Bowmanville, simple one -storey Victory
Houses were constructed on 18 uniform lots in the planned community. All 18 buildings
followed a uniform and rhythmic layout and design achieved through setback, massing, and
height, which has created a cohesive and uniform streetscape. Specifically, along Veterans
Avenue the asymmetrical façade composition is consistent along the north side of the road
and opposite on the south side of the road, ultimately acting as mirror images of each other.
The subject property exhibits setback, height, and massing consistent with the character of
the area. 5 Veterans Avenue, and the surrounding 17 houses located in the neighbourhood,
support one of the best examples of a Victory Housing neighbourhood in the Municipality of
Clarington.

also built on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal
government in 1941 for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the
Page 115
cessation of World War II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings
and due to a post-war material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used
to construct the 18 Victory Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services
in the neighbourhood was also supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not
required for the Victory Housing project.
Contextual Value
8 Veterans Avenue is important in supporting the character of the Victory Housing
neighbourhood located along Veterans Avenue, Second Street, and Lambs Lane. As part
of the Veteran’s Housing initiative begun by the Town of Bowmanville, simple one=storey
Victory Houses were constructed on 18 uniform lots in the planned community. All 18
buildings followed a uniform and rhythmic layout and design achieved through setback,
massing, and height, which has created a cohesive and uniform streetscape. Specifically,
along Veterans Avenue the asymmetrical façade composition is consistent along the
north side of the road and opposite on the south side of the road, ultimately acting as
mirror images of each other. The subject property exhibits setback, height, and massing
consistent with the character of the area. 8 Veterans Avenue, and the surrounding 17

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
9 Veterans Avenue is located on the south side of Veterans Avenue in the Town of
Bowmanville. The property contains a one-storey building constructed between 1946 and
1947 as part of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing Initiative.
Physical/Design Value
9 Veterans Avenue has design value as a representative example of purpose -built post-
WWII Victory Housing. Typical of this type of building is its one-storey construction,
rectangular plan, asymmetrical massing and side gable roof with modest overhanging
eaves and an off-centre gable peak located on the facade. The subject building features
a simple and compact form with frame construction clad with horizontal siding. 9 Veterans
Avenue showcases unadorned rectangular window openings and a simple, single,
asymmetrically placed entranceway opening. The subject building does not feature any
ornamentation or highly decorative features, which is typical of the Victory House style.
The building has an exterior brick chimney, which is a feature found on all the Victo ry
Houses within the planned Victory Housing neighbourhood.
Historical/Associative Value
9 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with the Veteran’s Housing
initiative spearheaded by the local municipal government as a result of the Vete ran’s Land
Act and Reginald Rackham. The subject property was originally part of local entrepreneur
John Jury’s large estate, which was purchased by the Town of Bowmanville in 1946 to be
the site of Bowmanville’s veteran’s housing subdivision. The Town of Bowmanville
Council allocated funds to construct the subdivision, likely marking the first time the town
acted as a builder. The subject property is one of 12 uniform lots established along both
sides of Veterans Avenue, and one of 18 lots undertaken as p art of the Town of
Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing initiative. Throughout Ontario and Canada, the planned
and deliberate construction associated with these kinds of Veteran’s Housing initiatives
was the result of legislation like the Veteran’s Land Act. The Veteran’s Land Act sought
to provide affordable housing to returning veterans and personnel associated with
domestic war industries in Canada. 9 Veterans Avenue was constructed between 1946
and 1947 by the Toronto Construction Company. As intended by the Veteran’s Housing
initiative, the first occupant of 9 Veterans Avenue was Reginald Rackham, who purchased
the property in April 1947. Reginald Rackham served in the RCAF in St. John, Quebec
during World War II, and after his discharge he returned to Bowma nville as a physical
education instructor at the Ontario Training School for Boys. He joined the OPP in 1949
and became the head of its photography and fingerprint division. Reginald Rackham was
involved in many high-profile cases and helped to establish 17 OPP identification units
across the province.
9 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with Camp 30, a Prisoner of
War Camp for German military officers that was located at the intersection of Concession
Street East and Lambs Road. Camp 30 was originally a Boys’ Training School, which was
also built on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal
government in 1941 for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the
cessation of World War II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings
and due to a post-war material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used

clad with horizontal siding. 12 Veterans Avenue showcases unadorned rectangular
window openings and a simple, single, asymmetrically placed entranceway opening. The
subject building does not feature any ornamentation or highly decorative features, which
is typical of the Victory House style. The building has an exterior brick chimney, which is
a feature found on all the Victory Houses within the planned Victory Housing
neighbourhood.
Historical/Associative Value
12 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with the Veteran’s Housing
initiative spearheaded by the local municipal government as a result of the Veteran’s Land
Act. The subject property was originally part of local entrepreneur John Jury’s large
estate, which was purchased by the Town of Bowmanville in 1946 to be the site of
Bowmanville’s veteran’s housing subdivision. The Town of Bowmanville Council allocated
funds to construct the subdivision, likely marking the first time the town acted as a builder.
The subject property is one of 12 uniform lots established along both sides of Veterans
Avenue, and one of 18 lots undertaken as part of the Town of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s
Housing initiative. Throughout Ontario and Canada, the planned and deliberate
construction associated with these kinds of Veteran’s Housing initiatives was the result of
legislation like the Veteran’s Land Act. The Veteran’s Land Act sought to provide
affordable housing to returning veterans and personnel associated with domestic war
industries in Canada. 12 Veterans Avenue was constructed between 1946 and 1947 by
the Toronto Construction Company. As intended by the Veteran’s Housing initiative, the
first occupant of 12 Veterans Avenue was William “Bill” Tait, who purchased the property
in April 1947. Bill enlisted in “D” Company of the Midland Battalion in 1940 . He was sent
to fight in the Italian campaign as part of the 8th Army in 1943. In 1944, he had been
promoted to Corporal and was serving with the 1st Toronto Irish Regiment, “B” Company
and had been wounded by shrapnel in the left foot. He was wounded a second time by a
German mine, also in Italy, and was promoted to Lance Sergeant before being discharged
at the end of the war.
12 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with Camp 30, a Prisoner of
War Camp for German military officers that was located at the intersection of Concession
Street East and Lambs Road. Camp 30 was originally a Boys’ Training School, which was
also built on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal
Page 136
government in 1941 for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the
cessation of World War II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings
and due to a post-war material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used
to construct the 18 Victory Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services
in the neighbourhood was also supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not
required for the Victory Housing project.
Contextual Value
12 Veterans Avenue is important in supporting the character of the Victory Housing
neighbourhood located along Veterans Avenue, Second Street, and Lambs Lane. As part
of the Veteran’s Housing initiative begun by the Town of Bowmanville, simple one -storey
Victory Houses were constructed on 18 uniform lots in the planned community. All 18
buildings followed a uniform and rhythmic layout and design achieved through setback,
massing, and height, which has created a cohesive and uniform streetscape. Specifically,
along Veterans Avenue the asymmetrical façade composition is consistent along the
north side of the road and opposite on the south side of the road, ultimately acting as
mirror images of each other. The subject property exhibits setback, height, and massing
consistent with the character of the area. 12 Veterans Avenue, and the surrounding 17
houses located in the neighbourhood, support one of the best examples of a Victory
Housing neighbourhood in the Municipality of Clarington.

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
53 Lambs Lane is located on the east side of Lambs Lane in the Town of Bowmanville.
The property contains a one-storey building constructed between 1946 and 1947 as part
of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing Initiative.
Physical/Design Value
53 Lambs Lane has design value as a representative example of purpose-built post-WWII
Victory Housing. Typical of this type of building is its one-storey construction, rectangular
plan, asymmetrical massing and side gable roof. The subject building features a simple
and compact form with wood frame construction clad with horizontal siding. 53 Lambs
Lane showcases unadorned rectangular window openings and a simple, single,
asymmetrically placed entranceway opening. The subject building does not feature any
ornamentation or highly decorative features, which is typical of the Victory House style.
An exterior brick chimney is found on all houses, and the front gable peak appears to be
a common design element found on Victory Houses in the surrounding streetscape and
within the Victory Housing neighbourhood.
Historical/Associative Value
53 Lambs Lane has historical value for its association with the Veteran’s Housing initiative
spearheaded by the local municipal government as a result of the Veteran’s Land Act.
The Victory Housing subdivision containing 53 Lambs Lane was originally part of Lots 11
and 12 in Plan H50080 (Simpson & Lockhart Plan), which was purchased by the Town of
Bowmanville along with adjacent Plan 595 in 1946 to be the site of Bowmanville’s
veteran’s housing subdivision. The Town of Bowmanville Council allocated funds to
construct the subdivision, likely marking the first time the town acted as a builder. The
subject property is one of four uniform lots established along the east side of Lambs Lane,
and one of 18 lots undertaken as part of the Town of Bowmanville’s Vetera n’s Housing
initiative. Throughout Ontario and Canada, the planned and deliberate construction
associated with these kinds of Veteran’s Housing initiatives was the result of legislation
like the Veteran’s Land Act. The Veteran’s Land Act sought to provide affordable housing
to returning veterans and personnel associated with domestic war industries in Canada.
53 Lambs Lane was constructed between 1946 and 1947 by the Toronto Construction
Company. As intended by the Veteran’s Housing initiative, the first occupant of 53 Lambs
Lane was Edward A. Baker, who purchased the property in 1947.
Edward Allan Baker was born on December 28, 1918, and enlisted from Clarke Township
as a Private and was stationed in England, although his role in the war is unknown.
(Canadian Statesman 1945b; 1946a). Edward Baker paid a deposit of $100 on August
27, 1947, for the subject property. Edward, who went by Allan, remained in the Canadian
Army and was stationed in both England and
at Camp Borden after the end of World War II, where he served in the Royal Canadian
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (RCEME) corps. Edward Baker died on June 17,
2010, in Haliburton, Ontario.
Page 157
53 Lambs Lane has historical value for its association with Camp 30, a Prisoner of War
Camp for German military officers that was located at the intersection of Concession
Street East and Lambs Road. Camp 30 was originally a Boys’ Training School, which was
also built on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal
government in 1941 for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the
cessation of World War II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings
and due to a post-war material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used
to construct the 18 Victory Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services
in the neighbourhood was also supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not
required for the Victory Housing project.
Contextual Value
53 Lambs Lane is important in supporting the character of the Victory Housing
neighbourhood located along Veterans Avenue, Second Street, and Lambs Lane. As part
of the Veteran’s Housing initiative begun by the Town of Bowmanville, simple one -storey
Victory Houses were constructed on 18 uniform lots in the planned community. All 18
buildings followed a uniform and rhythmic layout and design achieved through setback,
massing, and height, which has created a cohesive and uniform streetscape. The subject
property exhibits setback, height, and massing consistent with the character of the area.
53 Lambs Lane and the surrounding 17 houses located in the neighbourhood, support
one of the best examples of a Victory Housing neighbourhood in the Municipality of
Clarington.

The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
By-law 2026-44

4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1 Follow Up Items from January 8, 2026, Meeting:
4.1.1 Safety Improvement Suggestions – West Beach Road –
Permanent Speed Bumps and Camera Data – Connor/Lori
Connor – Public Works completed a study between July 18 to 20,
2025. There were close calls between vehicles and non-motor road
users at the flex signs as well as several undesirable behaviours.
Staff’s position is that they do not support the reinstatement of the
flex signs.
Lori – Would permanent speed bumps would be considered?
Jim – It needs to be improved in the future with the widening of the
road and bridge to provide paved sections on both sides of the
road.
Rob – The road and bridge structure are not in the current forecast
for work as they are in decent shape so there isn’t an imminent
need for work to be completed. The traffic calming policy recently
adopted by Council contains terms of evaluating what measures
are appropriate. The installation of speed humps has been
undertaken in other areas, and more are scheduled in the future.
Josh to follow up with Traffic Services on next steps and if this area
is being considered for 2027 installation.
Bart – Something really needs to be done but the flex posts
probably didn’t do the trick and likely made things worse. The staff
report seems to back that up, which leaves an unsatisfactory
situation going on at least another year. The Clarington Waterfront
Strategy has projections for bringing more people to this area and
increasing the amount of exposure.
Page 197
P a g e 3 | 8
Lori – Connor, Rick and Lori will email Josh directly asking him to
provide the results of his discussions with the Traffic Division to the
Committee so that it can be followed up on for financial
consideration at the next Committee meeting.
Ron – Suggests that the Committee look at proposing a resolution
relating to the Waterfront Strategy; that consideration be given to
this specific area regarding the installation of traffic calming devices
to be put in place in the future, as soon as possible.
Rick – Item to be kept on agenda for future discussion.
Jim – Suggests listing the agenda item as “Safe access by means
other than a car to the Clarington Waterfront”.
4.2 Durham Region Active Transportation Update - Connor
Connor – Committee met March 12th and there were presentations from the
Bike Shop in Peterborough, and the Ontario by Bike Program on cycle
tourism opportunities in Durham Region. The one-metre safe cycling
campaign has been renewed this year and is going to be a bit more
aggressive. The imagery could be changing from a car to a pickup truck, and
the wording could change to “Move Over One Metre, It’s the Law”. June was
declared Bike Month by the Region, so the Committee should investigate
having Clarington make the same proclamation.
Jim – Lots of people who have no idea that you must give cyclists a one
metre clearance from their mirror to the bike’s handlebar. Jim has spoken to
the Chair of the Durham Region Cycling Coalition about a noodle campaign
where cyclists have a noodle attached to their bike to demonstrate the one
metre distance, and he will keep the Committee updated on the program.
Lori – Asked if the Region has any decals focusing on the one metre rule that
could be given out by the Committee at events; Connor will look into it. She
recently picked up three bags and a box of items from the Region for
distributing at events, including bells and lights and brochures.
4.3 2026 Maplefest – Saturday May 2nd – Volunteers Needed - Lori
Lori will do the morning shift but needs help bringing the supplies up. Jim
volunteered as well as Bart, with Lori to determine their timing. Richard can
be there from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Debbie can as well. Ron will be
there early to help with the setup. Rick is available for the setup and maybe
the morning. Lori will provide the two chairs.

4.4 Durham Regional Police Services (DRPS) – East Division Community
Day 2026 - Rick
Rick – An invitation has been extended to the Committee to attend the
Community Safety Day in the fall. Last year their display was positioned at the
back and not in the mainstream.
The Committee discussed this and have decided that it is not an event that
they wish to participate in due to the lack of interest in their display and it just
wasn’t the right fit for the ATSRC.
4.5 Waterfront Trail Safety Concern Update – Richard/Rick
Rick – The request for service that was submitted for the sand on the end of
the trail at the Service Road, on your way to Cobbledick Road, was never
addressed and no one reached out to him. When you are on the waterfront
trail and coming from Bennett Road down to the Service Road that takes you
to Cobbledick, there is a lot of sand accumulating and causing a very
hazardous situation for cyclists. Rick will follow up on his original request and
will call Public Works if he does not hear back.
Ron – During the Marigold Hospice Ride last year, one of the ladies wiped out
there on her bike which is a perfect example of why it should be cleaned.
Jim – Suggested that the members reach out to their own cycling groups to
make sure to be cautious this spring with the extra sand on the roadways.
There was an increased use of sand on the roadways due to the salt
shortage.
4.6 Sharrows and Bike Symbols – Concession Street and Trulls Road - Jim
Jim – On Trulls Road the section from Bloor Street south to Baseline Road
was closed for two years and is part of the north-south cycling network in
Courtice. When Trulls Road was redone, he was under the understanding
that there would be a bike lane included or urbanized shoulder with a white
line. It was re-paved last year and that was not done. There are a couple of
deep ditches on either side so it would really benefit from sharrows. Why
were bike lanes not included?
Jim – Traffic calming was completed on Concession Street many years ago,
and that slows the traffic down so many cyclists like to take it. Traffic calming
bottlenecks and squeezes together cyclists and motorists and quite often
vehicles try and squeeze the cyclists out. If sharrows were put in place on
Concession Street it would help move motorists out into the center of the
road.
Rob – The Developer at the northeast corner of Courtice Road and Bloor
Street was required to install watermain and sanitary sewers on Courtice
Road and they fully closed the road, so the Municipality forced them to
rehabilitate Trulls Road to handle the detour traffic. Once it is ultimately
Page 199
P a g e 5 | 8
designed, Trulls Road will be urbanized and widened with curbs and
sidewalks and potentially a Multi-Use Path (MUP) and bike lanes. The work is
tied to development as it proceeds along the frontage, which indicates a
possible design in 2028 and construction in 2030. The work will be completed
in segments as the developments are completed. There was a budget for
design approved in 2025 for at least the first 400m that coincides with the
development being built out right now, but unfortunately that’s tied to
development pressure and with the current market conditions, they weren’t
advancing so the project didn’t move forward.
Rob – In the interim, Josh will follow up with Traffic Services about applying
sharrows on this section of Trulls.
Rob - There is another closure of Courtice Road planned in the future for the
Metrolinx project. In the next two to three years this will be a primary north-
south detour route with thousands of vehicles and another route for cyclists
should be investigated to provide a safer route. Trulls Road should be
avoided as there will be too much competition and too much traffic to be safe
for cyclists to travel. Alternate routes will be investigated, but it is difficult with
the unknown timing of the different construction projects within the area.
Prestonvale Road will be closed for track upgrades in 2027, and it also has
regional servicing to be installed in 2027/2028. Access will be significantly
impacted after 2026.
Rob – A follow-up agenda item for a future meeting could be a discussion on
the timing of these projects once they are better known, to try and evaluate
how to get cyclists down south by not using the primary detour routes. Trulls
Road should probably be avoided if there is any sort of cycle tourism or event
route planning as there is too much competition for re-routing. He is currently
promoting conversations with Metrolinx, the Region and developers of how to
coordinate all these rolling closures and who takes priority and when work is
overlapping, so that there aren’t disruptions to not only vehicular traffic, but
cyclists as well.
Jim – Does not want to miss an opportunity to implement a safe route.
Rob – Concession Street has been identified in our Active Transportation
Master Plan (ATMP) as a primary spine route. There is not much that could
be implemented in terms of separated infrastructure given the narrow road
and how developed it is, but your idea of sharrows would suit the ATMP
narrative.
Jim – We need to keep pushing on safe access to our waterfront and keep
the pressure on the planners to provide active transportation routes to the
waterfront.
Richard – We need a north-south route, simple as that. If Prestonvale is
closed, then another route needs to be provided.
Page 200
P a g e 6 | 8
Jim – There is an MUP being built on Regional Road 57, and there needs to
be something put in place to get from Baseline Road down to the waterfront
trail. There needs to be some concept of how we bridge over Highway 401,
possibly adding a cycling lane on that bridge, something somehow to get over
to meet the bike lane on Energy Drive where it meets Regional Road 57.
Rob – The MUP on the west side of Regional Road 57 will be completed by
the end of 2027, but unfortunately the Bowmanville Avenue (Regional Road
57) bridge over Highway 401 does not have the sufficient width required for a
bike lane. There is more feasibility of extending the cycling facilities or MUP
along Baseline Road to the waterfront trail. As part of the Development
Charge Study, the plan is for an MUP to be built in phases along Baseline
Road, essentially from Green Road to Bennett Road. It will be built in phases
as development proceeds as that is the most efficient and cost-effective
process.
Richard – The request for sharrows on Concession Street has not been
addressed. There is resistance from Municipality to put them in.
Rob –The ATMP, which is going to Council for final approval on May 11th,
identifies Concession Street as a spine route, and once approved there will
be some funds available for these types of smaller projects. (To be kept on
agenda.)
Lori – The Bowmanville Creek Trail from Baseline Road south has been
flooded and muddy, particularly under the railway bridge, for almost this entire
month and has been impassable for days. Is there any way of raising the path
under the railway bridge?
Rob – It is not viable to raise the path as it would only increase the local
floodplain. Most of the damming is caused by ice so once the ice breaks then
the spring thaw happens it leads to that condition. Unfortunately, this was
designed incorrectly long ago, and this is now the situation that we have
without committing a substantial amount of capital to change it.
Jim – We were told when the underpass was put in that it would flood when
we had high rains. They did build into it kind of a slip so that the water could
flow off the deck once the water started to recede. That happens on the
section that goes underneath the 401, but the area under the railway track is
so full of leftover sand that never gets plowed out that weeds and everything
grow there and water stays in there for months. Maintenance is needed to
clean the sand out. They have these catchbasins along that trail which need
to be cleaned out too. Jim will reach out to Public Works to request that the
maintenance be performed.

4.7 Bike Promotion Roadway Signs - Richard
Richard – Kind of a fun idea to put some stencils on our trails, like “smile,
you’re on a bicycle”. Could the Municipality make a stencil and install it in half
a dozen locations to see if people like it?
A discussion followed, and most members were in support of having these
signs.
Rick – Suggested that the Committee create a plan of where they would like
the signs, what they would like to see, how much it would cost etc. and
present that to the Municipality.
The Committee would like to investigate this further and will request
comments from municipal staff, specifically the Traffic Division, on whether
the placing of these signs is feasible and something that would be permitted.
Richard will investigate and bring the information back to the next meeting.
Councillor Elhajjeh – Easiest way would be to investigate costs, liability,
number and locations. The paramount concern is going to be safety, even if
the location is on the trail itself or at the side on the grass or something
adjacent to the trail. The maintenance costs may not be something that the
Municipality would be willing to take on for the future as current installations,
like the Remembrance Day sign downtown, are eroding and even though this
sign is under warranty, there are others that are supposed to be permanent
paint and it’s being washed off which then come with a maintenance cost.
4.8 Clarington Waterfront Strategy – Safe Access to Courtice Segment - Jim
Dealt with earlier in the meeting under Item 4.6.
4.9 Pedestrian Bridge Linking Port of Newcastle to Bond Head – Jim
Jim – A Councillor for that area reached out to Jim and asked if the
Committee has ever investigated having a bridge over the area. The
consensus about 10 or 12 years ago, when the Committee was called Bike
Friendly and Peter Windolf was the liaison, was that there were too many
sailboats coming in and out of there and the area was still being developed. If
you went up the creek where you could cross over, it was also privately
owned by individual residents. Jim provided this information to the Councillor
but has not yet received a response.
Jim – Another Councillor asked Jim to approach the Committee about
recommending the removal of the recently installed bike lanes on King Street,
from Liberty Street to Mearns Avenue, in Bowmanville. The Councillor
suggested relocating the bike lanes to Baseline Road. The Councillor
indicated that they had been approached by individuals with safety concerns
regarding the bike lanes, stopping busses, traffic etc.
Page 202
P a g e 8 | 8
Rob – The bike lanes were implemented there because the Municipality was
completing a road rehabilitation. There were problematic issues with the
secondary lane being used by vehicles to speed and pass slower vehicles, so
with the introduction of the bike lane, the lane was removed. There was no
cycling facility through the downtown core to provide active transportation
access and the ATMP identifies King Street as a central spine. Some speed
data suggests that there has been a slight reduction in travel speed for
vehicles since the work has been completed. Some drivers are utilizing the
cycle lane as a turn lane, and controls are currently being investigated that
can be implemented to prevent vehicles turning right from utilizing the bike
lanes to improve safety. There are prominent connections that will be made
when Liberty Street is reconstructed by the Region and the MUP on Liberty is
installed.
The Committee discussed this request to relocate the bike lanes and agreed
that existing bike lanes should not be eliminated, that more are needed, not
less.
4.10 Project Updates – See attachment from Josh
A document with project updates was provided by Josh prior to the meeting.
There were no questions from the Committee regarding the update.
Rick – Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) Update – The Committee
would like the opportunity to review the document prior to approval.
Rob – The report will be presented on May 11th at the Planning and
Development Committee meeting. The report will be available for the
Committee, as well as all members of the public, to view through the
Municipality’s website once Clerks has posted the agenda for the meeting.
The Committee can attend the meeting for the presentation by the consultant,
and if Committee members wish to speak at the meeting, they can register as
a delegation online with the Clerks Department prior to the meeting.
