2.0 BACKGROUND
2 . 1 On April 23, 1990, a petition was received from Mr. Barry L.
Head of the Village of Newcastle. It requested the replacement of
the existing sidewalk on the west side of Mill Street from King
Street southerly to Robert Street. The petition was signed by 75
area residents .
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3 . 1 Existing Conditions
3. 1. 1 The sidewalk is broken and very uneven in many places due to
settlements and by tree roots lifting the sidewalk. (Several large
trees are directly adjacent to the sidewalk) .
3 . 1.2 The existing sidewalk is approximately 1.2 m (4 feet) wide and has
been overlaid with asphalt over the years in an attempt to improve
its uneven, broken surface.
i
i
i
3. 1.3 The overall unevenness of the sidewalk results in a build-up of
water and ice, making it hazardous during the winter months .
3.2 . 1 Proposed Work
3.2 .2 The existing sidewalk should be removed and replaced with a 1.5 m
(5 feet) standard sidewalk.
3 .2 .3 Due to continued root growth and limited boulevard space, the work
may require the removal of some roots and/or trees.
3 .2 .3 The estimated cost of the work is $80,000.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4 . 1 Due to the hazardous and substandard condition of the existing
sidewalk, replacement should be undertaken and that funds be
provided in the 1991 Budget to remove and replace the existing
sidewalk on the west side of Mill Street from King Street southerly
to Robert Street in the Village of Newcastle.

Attention of the Mayor and Town Council:
Enclosed is a petition from residents of the Tillage of
Newcastle requesting an improvement in sidewalk conditions for the West
side of Mill Street South.
This is in the interest of Public safety since many incidents have
already occurred to indicate the necessity for immediate improvement.
For example: I am enclosing two (2) photographs taken last fall
indicating the amount of water which collects on the
sidewalk in front of 98 Mill Street, South and the
United Church. This freezes and thaws with the
weather change and produces a dangerous condition
for pedestrian young and old.
This condition exists in several locations along Mill Street, South
between the I .G.A. parking lot and the Newcastle Multicare.
Mr. L. Graham digs at trench every year to remove the water from
her sidewalk.
In front of 196 Mill Street South, there is a problem with uneven
sidewalks (due to tree roots) which is so unsafe, the your children tip
off their tricycles when playing.
Mrs . M. Patterson has fallen because of icy conditions and bruised
both her knees . As we all know, older people are mor susceptible to
broken bones during falls and I must state at this time the Town of
Newcastle is fortunate there have been no serious injuries to date and
subsequent lawsuits .
I have contacted the Works Department several times concerning
these problems and they sent out one Ellwood Hawes, to make promises but
no action. I am told by several residents that this in-action is not
uncommon.

I feel there is no reason why we residents should have to do the
work of the Works Department for them. (i.e. : last winter 1989-1990 I
bought and used approximately 200 pounds of ice salt to try and control
the ice problem.
The above is why we not only request, but implore you, the Town,
to repair or replace these dangerous sidewalk areas .
Yours truly
i
Barry L. Head
