REPORT NO. : ADDENDUM TO WD-22-95
After some discussion, Mr. Lenters requested that a decision
regarding the recommendations contained in Report WD-22-95 be
deferred to provide sufficient time for the Regional Works
Department to fully explore the options available regarding
the intersection of Prestonvale Road and Bloor Street.
On May 24, 1995, a letter was received from Mr. T. Prevedel,
P.Eng. , Director of Transportation, Durham Regional Works
Department (Attachment No. 1) .
3.2 Cost Estimates and Development Charge By-laws
Cost estimates will be available when the Region, in
consultation with Clarington, has completed a detailed
examination of the various alternatives. However, it should
be noted that:
a) The extension of Bloor Street from Bruntsfield Street to
Prestonvale Road is Clarington's responsibility. It is
not included in the existing Development Charge By-law,
but is included in the proposed Development Charge By-
law.
b) The reconstruction of Prestonvale Road from Glenabbey
Drive to Bloor Street is included in Clarington's
existing Development Charge By-law.
C) The realignment of Prestonvale Road from Glenabbey Drive
to Bloor Street, if approved, would be in Clarington's
proposed Development Charge By-law.
d) The improvement of the Prestonvale Road/Bloor Street
intersection would be a Durham Regional responsibility
REPORT NO. : ADDENDUM TO WD-22-95 PAGE 3
and would have to be included in their proposed
Development Charge By-law.

Durham Region has advised me that they could complete their
review in about six (6) weeks.

RE. Southwest Courtice Community
Bloor Street Profile,
Regional Road No. 22 and Realignment of Prestonvale Road
TRA-RR22-DEV
We are in receipt of correspondcnce front 0, M, Sei nas & Associates Ltd. to your mr.
Nick Colucci which was copied to our Mr, John Presta. G. M. Sernas& Associates Ltd.
promote improving the profile of Bloor Street east of Prestonvale Road by construction
of earth fill embankment. A copy of this letter is attached for your information.
Staff from the Region agree in principle to elevating the profile of Bloor Street east of
Prestonvale Road in recognition of the Type 'A' designation of Bloor Street and the
associated geometric standards. The issues which remain unresolved in the context of
the Southwest Courtice plan are related to cost attribution and timing.
In addition, we have a copy of your report to General Purpose and Administration
Committee dated May. 15, 1995. Staff of the Transportation 'Branch at the Works
Department agree with the proposed designation of Prestonvale Road as a Type 'C'
Arterial from Highway No, 2 southerly, however, we have technical concerns about the
.realignment of Prestonvale Road relating to the proper spacing of intersections along the
proposed Bloor Street realignment and safe sight distances for east/west traffic on Bloor
Street at the relocated intersection.

It is our opinion that the proposal to realign Prestonvale Road in the vicinity of Bloor
Street has not been fully explored both in concept and design. We request further
consideration of this matter through consultation with Region Planning and Works staff,
It would also appcar that the chatter should be addressed through the Southwest Courtice
Secondary Plan process.
We appreciate your consideration of the foregoing in reporting to Clarington Council.

Bloor Street Profile(Regional Load No. 22)
Our Project No. 8821¢
Further to our telephone conversation, we enclose a copy of sketch drawing 88214-S1K-7 showing
the findings of our preliminary investigation of possible improvements to the vertical alignment of
Bloor Street between Prestonvale Road and Trulls Road.
Existing grades were plotted from your 1" = 100 ft. mapping (approx. date 1972).
The existing culvert, carrying Robinson Creek under Bloor Street, appears to be a 13 70M dia- CMP
with t = 2.8mm thickness and 68mm x 13man corrugations (54" dia., 12 gauge, 2 213" x 112"
corrugations). It is in good condition and, subject to a more detailed investigation, should be capable
of carrying additional embankment loads associated with raising the profile of Bloor Street. The
culvert is presently approximately 20m long and has a cover of about 3 metres.
Both alternative profiles are based on a design speed of 80 km/h (with K values of 30m and 35m for
sag and crest curves, respectively).
The profile marked Alternative W involves the raising of the low point by about 5 metres. The
resulting grades match existing conditions well, both at the intersection of Prestonvale Road and at
the driveways of residential properties. With an assumed road cross-section incorporating two paved
lanes (3.5m each.) and two shoulders (2.5m each) as well as 2:1 embankment slopes, the existing
culvert would have to be extended by 14 metres at each end.
The profile marked Alternative V keeps the low point at its existing elevation. The new road grades
require cuts of up to 4.5 metres on each side of the valley. The intersection at Prestonvale Road is
lowered by about 1.5 metres. Prestonvale Road will require regrading (or relocation to the west) and
regrading is also requirod at the driveways. Assuming the same road crass-section as described
above, the culvert would have to be extended by 4 metres at each end.
