Report Overview
This report seeks Council approval to formally dedicate and assume the extension of West
Side Drive—constructed as part of the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre project,
including associated roadway and intersection improvements —as a public highway in
accordance with municipal requirements.
1. Background
1.1 As part of the supporting infrastructure for the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre,
the project includes the construction of a new road and intersection improvements
(known as the extension of West Side Drive) at Baseline Road and Green Road, as
shown in Attachment 1.
1.2 These works were undertaken to ensure safe and efficient access to the new recreation
centre and adjacent municipal amenities.
1.3 Accordingly, the newly created roadway, known as West Side Drive, now requires
formal dedication and assumption as a public highway in accordance with municipal
practice.
2. Proposal
2.1 A by-law is required to permit the Municipality to dedicate the street illustrated as Part of
Lot 15, Broken Front Concession, Parts 1-5 (inclusive), 40R-33216 and Part of Lot 16,
Broken Front Concession, Parts 6-10 (Inclusive), 40R-33216, Municipality of Clarington,
as public highway for permanent public use. These lands will be fully incorporated into
the municipal road network. The draft by-law to give effect to this assumption and
dedication is provided as Attachment 2 to this report.
3. Financial Considerations
3.1 Upon assumption, the Municipality of Clarington will be responsible for all repair,
maintenance, and replacement obligations once all warranties expire.
3.2 Ongoing operational requirements, including winter control activities, will be
incorporated into the Municipality’s annual operating budgets.
4. Strategic Plan
4.1 The construction of a new road and the upgraded intersection at Baseline Road and
Green Road (known as the West Side Dr. extension) will provide critical transportation
infrastructure needed to support safe, efficient access to the South Bowmanville
Recreation Centre. This investment aligns with Clarington’s Strategic Plan commitments
to maintain, protect, and invest in municipal infrastructure and assets and to ensure that
services keep pace with a rapidly growing community. By improving connectivity and
traffic flow in a high‑growth area, the roadway directly supports the municipality’s
objective of delivering efficient, effective, and meaningful public services.
