REPORT NO. WD-119-81. October 1, 1981.
SUBJECT: Highway No. 2 Connecting Link - Upgrading.
(King Street) Village of Newcastle.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. THAT Report WD-119-81 be received, and;
2. THAT Council, by resolution, authorize
Staff to prepare and submit, to the
Ministry of Transportation & Communic-
ations, a Design Criteria and Preliminary
Cost Estimate for Ministry approval, and;

BACKGROUND:
At the Meeting of September 8, 1981, Council, by

M.P.P. , to Staff for a report on the upgrading of Highway No. 2.
E
�'f
wD-119-81 _ 2
through the Village of Newcastle.
At the same Meeting of September 8, 1981, Council,
by Resolution # C-987-81, has gone on record as requesting the
Ministry of Transportation & Communications to give consideration
to a reconstruction project of the Connecting Link (King Street)
in 1982; the project is to include storm drainage and the Ministry
is to be asked that it be included in their estimates for the
upcoming year.
COMMENT:
In a letter dated August 26, 1981, to Mr. Sam Cureatz,
the Hon. James Snow, Minister, refers to the Connecting Link Agree-
ment whereby the Corporation may initiate a construction project
by requesting Ministry approval of same.
During the 1981 Needs Study Update, the Connecting
Link was re-appraised and it was indicated that the relevant section
was deficient. We have now received verbal confirmation that the
Ministry has accepted this appraisal.
As Council has, by Resolution # C-987-81, requested
that the Ministry give consideration to the reconstruction, rather
than report on Mr. Cureatz' correspondence of August 27, 1981, the
procedure for the initiation of a Connecting Link construction
project will be outlined.
It is necessary that:
1. A Cost Estimate and Design Criteria be
prepared, and submitted to the Ministry
for approval.
2. That':all Agencies, Utilities, and the
Regional Municipality of Durham, be
notified of all action.
3. That, subject to the approval of the
Design Criteria and Preliminary Cost
Estimate, and having obtained a finan-
cial committment from the Ministry, the
Municipality must enter into an Agreement
WD-119-81 - 3 _
3. . . with a Ministry-approved Consultant for
the provision of professional engineering
services.
4. Design plans and specifications must be
prepared and submitted to the Ministry for
approval, prior to the calling of a tender.
5. A Construction Agreement must be entered
into between the Town and the Ministry.
6. Tenders, when called, are received by
Council and the subsequent award is sub-
ject to the approval of the Ministry.
I
The foregoing procedure would include provisions for
all necessary utility locations, and any items within the Contract
required to accommodate the requirements of the Regional Municipality
of Durham.
In keeping with Resolution # C-987-81, and upon the
approval of Council, it would be appropriate to submit a Design
Criteria to the Ministry of Transportation & Communications for
it's consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
J. Dunham.
Director of Public Works.

Dear Sam:
Reference is made to your letter of August 12, 1981 suggesting
that the Highway 2 connecting link in Newcastle be reconstructed
at the same time as our resurfacing project on Highway 2 to the
west of Newcastle.
As you are aware the subject section of road in Newcastle is under
a connecting link agreement and the legal jurisdiction of the road- '
way rests with the municipality. Accordingly, any request for
improvements should be initiated by the Village of Nev,,castle.
E
f
I should confirm however that my Ministry is quite prepared to
review the need, extent, and timing; of possible improvements to
the Connecting link if requested by the village and the appropriate
official from the Ministry to contact in this regard is Mr. W. W.
Osborn, District Municipal Engineer, 5000 Yonge Street in Willow-
dale.
I trust that these arrangements will be satisfactory. ,
k
With kindest regards, I remain,
;i
Yours-sincerely,

Dear Mr. Rickard and all Council Members:
I would be pleased if Council might review the
letter that I have received from the Minister of
Transportation & Communications . If you recall, I
had requested the Minister to consider the possibility
of extending the upgrading of Highway 2 through the
Village of Newcastle. The Minister has responded that
he would require your official request for the
upgrading of this sector.
s
In the light of this request could you and the
Council please consider the possibility of officially
requesting the Minister to upgrade the connecting link j
through the village of Newcastle. As the Minister has stated, I
he is quite prepared to review the need.
Trusting I will hear from you in due course.

Yours sincerely,
Sam L. Cureatz
