SUBJECT: Reconstruction of Liberty Street (Regional Road 14) from King Street to Concession Street, Bowmanville. BACKGROUND: Report WD-111-80 (September 2, 1980) recommended that Staff identify concerns relevant to the subject reconstruction, and meet with representatives of the Region of Durham to discuss this matter. REPORT: At a Meeting with Regional Staff concerns addressed were those relevant to storm sewer requirements and connections, together with the re-placement of sidewalks. The proposed reconstruction includes two storm sewer outfalls, the most northerly covering the area from Concession Street to, approximately, Carlisle Avenue, from which an outlet will be provided to the existing watercourse east of the School grounds; this system will outlet in the area of the present sewer outlet and will be funded 100% by the Regional Municipality of Durham. The southerly system will outlet via Wellington Street to an existing watercourse (which would also accommodate the flows from Church Street West) . As a result of the diversion of storm water from Church Street West. northerly on Liberty Street to Wellington Street, the existing Church Street East sewer would be removed from the 'deficient' list (as identified in the Bowmanville Storm Sewer Study) . The reconstruction on Wellington Street will also re- solve a deficient sewer. It is proposed that the costs in relation to the Wellington Street East outfall be the Town of Newcastle's responsibility, and these are estimated at $85,000. 00 (Eighty Five Thousand Dollars) . WD-17-81 (2) The diversion from Church Street to Wellington Street (on Liberty Street) is being proposed on a cost-sharing basis, based on a 'user pay' format, and the estimate amount to some $20,000. 00 (Twenty Thousand Dollars) . Existing sidewalks removed as a result of construction will be replaced by the Region of Durham. If the Town wishes to have any additional sidewalks installed, then these would be at the Municipality-s expense. The estimated cost for the placement of sidewalks is $16. 50/metre. RECOMMENDATION: THAT funds be provided in the 1981 Budget for Storm Sewer construction, in accordance with this report and the est- imated costs outlined herein and, further, that the Region of Durham be requested to accommodate, in their design,a location for future sidewalks in those areas where, presently, sidewalks do not exist.
