_Report, conti.nued. . .
Resolution # W-413-78 requested that the Town be informed when
the Project would be included in the Ministry forecast, and it
is now indicated that thise advisement will be forthcoming in
the not too distant future.
In my opinion it is in the best interests of the Town that this
matter be further discussed.
Recommendation:
WHEREAS the construction costs of sidewalks relative to Ministry
Project No. 110-72-00 are to be borne by the Town of Newcastle,
it is recommended that provision he made for the .location of same
and, further, that the sidewalks be considered in the future in
conjunction with development in which costs , thereby, would be
defrayed by others.
