BACKGROUND 1.1 An Information Centre was held on November 16, 1988 for the reconstruction of Somerville Drive, Church Street and Victoria Street in Orono and a detailed description of the work was provided to the residents. The reconstruction is now completed. 1.2 At the Information Centre residents expressed concerns, that since the Victoria Street road allowance is only 12.192 m (40 feet) , the reconstruction of Victoria Street, with the standard 8.5 m (28 feet) wide pavement would result in the traffic being very close to some of the houses. The location of pavement and sidewalk were marked out in the field and reviewed with the residents. After some discussion, it was agreed that the paved surface would be reduced from 8.5 m (28 feet) to 6.7 m (22 feet) and, in order to provide for parking on one side of the street, Victoria Street would be made one-way for westbound traffic. 1.3 The Ministry of Transportation has a policy that they will not subsidize the reconstruction of roads that do not meet their requirements that the pavement be not less than 8.5 m (28 feet) . The project 'was reviewed in the field with Mr. Bob Arbuckle, Ministry of Transportation, who agreed that because of the narrow road allowance, the Ministry would subsidize the reconstruction and future maintenance with the 6.7 m (22 feet) wide pavement. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 It is therefore recommended that the Council pass a by-law (Attachment No.4) to designate Victoria Street in the Village of Orono as an "One Way Street" 3 102D 'REPORT NO. : WD-85-89 PAGE 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2 That a copy of Report WD-85-89 be forwarded to the Regional Clerk for the Region's consideration and approval.
