HomeMy WebLinkAboutWD-24-80 T014N OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Director's Report to Public Works Committee. Item: WD-24-80. Date: February 20, 1980. Subject: Correspondence received from Mr. Wilbur E. Blackburn, HAYDON. Background: The attached correspondence requests various improvements and/or installations for Haydon, and the items mentioned therein have been considered and reviewed. Re ort: Item 1: A request that a Bus Shelter be erected at the corner of Main Street (otherwise known as King Street) and the Concession Road is made; this is in consideration of: "the small children waiting for the School Bus in inclement weather". - There are numerous areas throughout the Town of Newcastle where children wait for a school bus; currently, however, it is not a policy of this municipality to provide shelters for this purpose. Item 2: It is requested that "No Parking" signs, which were erected a few years ago, be re-installed. - In January of 1979, By-Law Number 79--1 was passed, rescinding By--Law 76-30 relative to parking and stopping on high- ways within the jurisdiction of the Town. During the existence of By-Law 76--30, Schedule 'B; , Item 2 did prohibit parking on the south side of the road between Concessions 7 & 8, from the west side of King Street to the east side of Church Street, and signs were erected accordingly. On numerous occasions the "No Parking" signs were either removed (stolen) or damaged, and their replacement became financially impractical. WD-24-80 Item 2, continued. . "No Parking" Sins - By--Law 79-1, Section 3 (i) provides as follows: "Whereas no person shall park or stop any vehicle on any high- way, or portion thereof, for a period longer than three (3) hours, except where designated signs have been erected in accordance with the by-law stating otherwise". Item ,3: Request for Speed Limit signs. - In a Town Municipality, within the limits of villages and/or hamlets, a speed reduction to SO km/h can be provided by erecting the appropriate signs. Item 4: It is stated that: "Sidewalks are almost nonexistent in places, poor in others, the paved road is in poor condition". - The present sidewalks have deteriorated beyond restoration and, therefore, when considering the matter of sidewalks in Haydon it should be noted that new con- struction will be necessary. The paved road, presumably King Street north of the Concession Road, receives Prime and surface treatment and has, to this point, served it 's purpose very well considering the A.A.D.T. Recommendation: Item 1. MIGREAS the Town of Newcastle has no policy for the provision of bus shelters for school children, and it is deemed im- practical financially, be it therefore recommended that no action be taken at this time, and the writer be so notified. Item 2: TUAT Section 3(1) of By-Law 79-1 be en- forced in that no person shall park or stop any vehicle on any highway or portion thereof, for a period of longer than three (3) hours. / 3 . . . Recommendation, continued. . . Item 3: THAT the necessary Speed Limit Signs (50 kilometers per hour) be erected, within the limits of the Hamlet of Haydon, when weather conditions permit. Item 4: THAT, in view of the minimal use of sidewalks in Haydon, no action be con- sidered at this time and, further, that King Street receive normal maintenance works equal to other streets of similar status within the Municipality. , JllJyh I� 9 2 7 y 428 431 51 al c l 2.8 20°�— vj 222 W 429 a 3C o i ES7NEt' ST <26 3 .

I have been asked by a group of Haydon taxpayers to make this request on their behalf. Re: 1. That a shelter be supplied at the corner of Main Street and the Concession Road for the purpose of sheltering the small children waiting for the Shoot Bus, in inclement weather. 2. That the no parking signs that were erected a few years back, be re-installed. 3. That owing to the increase in population of children in this village (hamlet) a request for speed limit signs would be in order (suggested limit- 60 km/hr) . 4. Sidewalks are almost non existent in places, poor in others, the paved road is in poor condition. We respectfully ask that action be taken regarding these requests as soon as possible. I remain yours truly, WILBUR G. BLACKBURN. R.R. # 1. Bowmaoville. FLO (Haydon) . ')Iped as writtuoivh.
