JV TO: Public Works CommiLtee FROM; A, G"ller, Town lKnager DATE: November 15, 1977 SUBJECT: Frank Street Drainage. As requested, I reviewed the matter of the Fr aak Street Drainage with Jack Dnnbnm and we made an on site inspection on November J5. I also reviewed the previous reports submitted by the Director of- Public Works, Cu the Director's report of June 21, 1977, he states "that the Drainage Problem would appear to be a Civil Matter and not toLally a M,nj,j,,j_ concern", and I concur with this observation. In our npiniOD, the ultfmaLe solution to the problem would be to reconstruct the Storm Sewers on Prince Street from Frank Street to Simpsons Avenue and then construct n Storm Sewer on Franh Street to Prince Street under the Incal Improvement Act, REPORT # 53 June 27, 19YY , To: Chairnou & Members of the Public Wo0s covaittec. From, J. Dunham, Director of Public Works. Subject- FRANK STREET. Resolution W-158-77 (Public Works Committee of June 9, 1977) requested a report an the above. Frank Street, from King to Prince Street, is approximately 760 feet in length. The existing width of pavement is from 31 feet to 25 feet. The total right-of-way width is 66 Feet, with no parking restrictions, sidewalks, storm sewers or curbs, Sometime ago a request was submitted for a sidewalk, making, mention of the hazardous situation relating to parking la the area of the Dominion and Brewers fetal stores. Drainage is also a concern in the area. In the existing Needs Study, Frank Street, from King to Prince Street, is not defivient, and In 1.975 had an A.A.D.T,, of 430. Until Frank Street can be determined as deficient, it will be very difficult to obtain Provincial funding for re-- construction, In view of the above information, I cannot recommend any Further engineering expenditure, etc. , at this time. I would, howevey , recommend that consideration be give" to parking restrictions on one side of Frank Street (from King Street southerly, for, a short distance-. This wc-n0d improve the visibility at the= King Street and Frank Street intersection ) . In conclusion, the proposed Stoym Sewer Study, when complend , could enable us to update the Needs Study, and show the subject street as being deficient, REPORT # 36 may 19, 197L To.
