Director's Report to Public Works Committee.
Item: WD-18-80.
Date: February do-, 1980.
Subject: Tyrone Community Centre.
Background;
The attached correspondence from the Tyrone Community Centre
Board was referred, by the Town Clerk, for a report to the
Public Works Committee.
The Board :[.,,; requesting improvements to, or replacement of,
various items including: Sidewalks, Street Lights, Storm
Sewers, Trees and Curbs (along the entranceway to the Centre) .
Report:
Of the abovementioned items, Sidewalks and Street Lights are
the responsibility of the Town of Newcastle. At the present
time, no funds have been allocated for new sidewalks in Tyrone,
and Street Lights are funded by way of Local Improvements.
The road itself, together with Storm Sewers, Trees and Curbs,
fall under t-he jurisdiction of the Regional Municipality of
Durham.
It is felt that, until a design plan for improvement to the
road is under consideration by the Region, any proposal for
new Sidewalks would be premature; the Curbs, it is suggested,
could be a matter for joint consideration between the Region
and the Tyrone Community Centre Board.
Recommendatt.on:
WHEREAS the Main Street through Tyrone is the responsibility
of the Region of Durham, the matters of Storm Sewers, Tree
replacement and Concrete Curbs be referred directly to that
Agency and, further, that the Tyrone Community Centre Board
be advised of Town Policy regarding Street Lights and that,
whereas some sections of Sidewalks may be deficient, these
be considered when finances permit.
