TOWN OIL' NEWCASTLE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Director's Report to Council & Public Works Committee
Item: Referred by the Clerk for a report to Public Works
Committee.
Date: October 17th. , 1979.
Subject: No Parking, Highway 401 - Wilmot Creek.
Background:
The attached correspondence of July 27, 1979 from the Ministry was
considered by the Public Works Committee on August 7, 1979. As a
-result Resolution # W-200-79 was passed, "see attached".
Report:
Resolution # W-200-79 being a recommendation of the Public Works
Committee was adopted by Council. The more recent correspondence
of September 20, 1979, "see attached" indicates that resolution
# 200-79 which requested the Ministry to provide some off-Highway
parking is being acknowledged and fullfilled. To this end, the
Ministry are seeking Councils' endorsement of their recommendation
in order that they may proceed in obtaining an Ontario Regulation
to prohibit parking on 401 in the area of Wilmot Creek.
The Ministry of Natural Resources has now made application for a
Property Access Permit on Cobbledick Road south of 401 and north
of the Railroad which can be granted.
Conclusion:
There are a number of homes on Cobbledick Road south of Highway #2
to whom will experience an impact whereas additional traffic will
be in existance when acquiring access to the subject parking area.
It should also be noted that some property owners in the area may
experience pedestrian traffic, who are obtaining access to the
Wilmot Creek by way of a short cut.
In view of the foregoing, direction is requested in that the
Ministry are anxious to Gonstr.uct the parking area this fall.

Dear Mr. Shannon:
Hwy 401 at Wilmot Creek
Proposed parking restriction
Further to my letter of lst August, I have had the
opportunity of reviewing the matter 'with the Mayor and some of
our councillors, and it is suggested that we arrange a meeting
in my Bowmanville office for Monday 10th September at 9 . 30 a.m.
There have been some alternative suggestions for parking,
and they are as follows :
1) Parking at the old gas pumps east of Wilmot Creek on the
south side of Hwy 2. (This location would cause some
difficulties with people walking to the creek)
2) West of the creek and south of Hwy 2 . there is a property
owned by, I presume, Natural Resources which might be
suitable. However, this might cause some entrance problems
on Hwy 2 as it is close to two other roads that meet in the
vicinity.
3) Parking along the old Kingston Road which is north of Hwy 2
and east of the creek.
I might add that this whole issue has been of concern for
quite some time to not only police but the municipality, and
perhaps .this is the time to fully look into all a e�natives.
You s/sincerely,
cc: Mayor Garnet Rickard in L. Cureatz

Dear Mr. Shannon:
Hwy 401 at Wilmot Creek
i i�roposed parking restriction
With reference to your letter of July 27th, I know
this is a problem, but at the moment your alternative
suggestions are not appropriate. Firstly, I am sure
the residents along Cobbledick Road would not like
this volume of traffic and secondly,, there is already
traffic congestion at Hwy 2. Hence, x am not at this
time in a position to support your recommendation.
I will be contacting the Mayor of Newcastle and the
local and regional councillors for that particular ward
to discuss the issue.
Yours s ' ncerely,
g Cureatz
cc: Mayor Garnet Rickard,

Dear Sir :
Re : Highway 401 at Wilmot Creek
Proposed i',irkinc� liestriclio►�
At the request of the Newcastle Detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police this office investigated
tile need for n parking ,restriction on Highway
401 both eastbound and westbound at. the Wilmot
Creek bridge . The study indicated that a seasonal
parking problem does exist at this bridge due
to the numerous fishermen that are parking alone
Highway 401 in order -to get to Wilmot Creek .
The number of motorists parkino along Highway 401
creates a hazard both to themselves and to the
traffic on the freeway since the approaches to
Wilmot Creek are on a downgrade with the visibility
of the parked vehicle being restricted due to the
crests on Highway 401 both east and west of Wilmot
Creek . Instances have been noted where vehicles
were parked two deep along the freeway and at
times parked vehicles have actually encroached
on the eastbound driving lane . To date in 1979
there have been two injury accidents at this
location due to parked vehicl.es .
In order to prevent motorists from parking along
Highway 401 on the downgrades towards Wilmot
Creek we ore proposing to restrict parking on
Highway 401 for 650 metres east and 800 metres
west of the 'Nilmot Creek structure .
There is n 1 terna Li ve ,access to Wilmot Creek either
via Highway 2 and Cobbledick Road or the township
road south of Highway 401 via Mill Street .
. . . . . . 2
Your ondorsement of thin recommendation would
be appreciated . However , if you hove any objections
or questions concerning -it may we hear from you
within a month so that we may consider any �
I appropriate changes to the recommends Lion before
in submitted For approval by Ontario Regula -ion .
Yours truly ,
P Howes ,
