( d \0 ��d .. t}oA/ d v -0 WD-18-81 (2) / REPORT: Consideration of the matter of sidewalk rehabilitation in the hamlets will, ultimately, be determined by the avail- ability of funds. Sidewalks in many areas are in a bad state of repair and the extent of any undertaking of repairs or rehabilitation will require an in-depth investigation; such an investigation can only be done during favourable weather conditions. The Committee should be cautioned that, whatever the outcome of the study is in terms of priority areas for a sidewalk program, there may well be locations where sidewalk rehab- ilitation would not be recommended until such time as it could be undertaken in conjunction with street construction; this would ensure that sidewalk elevations are adequate and compatible with the roadway. To address the latter item in Resolution # C-80-1256, it may well be that, upon completion of a study into the state of sidewalks in all the hamlets and villages within the Town, those in Tyrone may not rate the highest priority for repair or rehabilitation. This matter will, however, be the subject for Committee decision at a later date, at the time of the presentation of the study and report. It should be borne in mind that, at the present time, the costs for sidewalk rehabilitation are as follows: Removal of existing $ 4. 50 0metre Replacement $16. 500metre Total reconstruction: $21. 00 /metre There, to illustrate the probable costs to be expected, and for example, the 620 metres of sidewalks in Tyrone which would require inclusion in a future program, would be in the region of $13,125. 00 (Thirteen Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars). RECOMMENDATION: THAT, in accordance with Resolution C-80-1256, and upon favourable weather conditions, a study of the sidewalks in the hamlets and villages within the Town of Newcastle be undertaken, following which a report will be submitted for Committee consideration and, further, that the matter of the sidewalks in the Village of Tyrone be included and considered in conjunction with the study, following which a .. program for sidewalk replacement will be formulated.
