REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 8, 1982.
WD-10-82
SUBJECT: C.P. Rail Crossing (Mileage 155.66)
Lots 22 & 23, Broken Front Concession,
former Township of Clarke.
Resolution # C-63-82 (GPA-88-82)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that:
1 . This report be received for information.
BACKGROUND:
As a result of concerns expressed in regard to traffic safety at
the C.P. Rail Crossing located in Lots 22 & 23, Broken Front Con-
cession, former Township of Clarke, Resolution # C-1397-81 directed
Staff to report on the criteria necessary to petition for improve-
ments; Report # WD-4-82 detailed the steps to be taken by the Town,
and was approved by Resolution # C-63-82 on January 18, 1982.
REPORT:
Since January 25, 1982, Staff have made an on-site inspection of
the subject Crossing, have met with Mr. L.R. Porter of the Railway
Transport Committee, and have solicited the comments of the Region
of Durham Traffic Department relative to their recommendations for
improvements.
It has been agreed that the Railway Authority will effect brushing
in the area of the crossing, thus improving sight distances , and � �
WD-10-82 - 2 -
in accordance with the comments of the Region (attached hereto) ,
advance warning signs will be installed on the approach road to
the Crossing.
A Traffic Count was undertaken, by Staff, on January 21122, 1982,
resulting in a total of 43 AADT.
This report is submitted to detail progress to date, and action
will continue to fulfill the direction of Resolution # C-63-82.
Respectfully submitted,

W.A.TWELVETREES,P.Eng. Dear Sir:
Commissioner of Works
Please quote our ref: Your request for Regional staff to review the crossing
protection on Sideline 22-23, Township of Clarke (Lakeshore
Road) at the Canadian Pacific Railway, Mileage 156.55,
TRA-N-1-2 Belleville Subdivision has now been completed.
According to the Ontario Provincial Police Detachment at
Newcastle, who had policed this area for many years prior to
the takeover by the Regional Police Force, this grade
crossing does not have a history of conflict.
The investigating Durham Regional Police Officer at the scene
of the fatal collision on November 29, 1981 states that the
vehicle was stationary on the tracks, east of the actual
crossing when struck. He has not ascertained why or how the
vehicle came to be in this location.
A parallel for an argument in favour of the installation of
warning signals can be drawn from the fact that the grade
crossing located east of this location (Lot 12, Clarke
Township) is equipped with the warning devices. The two
crossings are similar in that both experience the same number
of train crossings per day (approximately 18) and are located
beyond a change in the horizontal alignment of the travelled
raodway.
A major engineering problem with the installation of warning
flashers at this location would be in obtaining a desirable
sight distance on the south approach. The wooden bridge
which carries the concession road over the Canadian National
Railway is located immediately south of the Canadian Pacific
grade crossing. Existing sight distance for a northbound
motorist to make visual contact with the top of the crossbuck
is approximately eighty metres. On a normal signal
installation the flashers are mounted below the crossbuck
which will decrease visual contact further.
. . . >/2
Page 2
To pursue the feasibility of the installation of warning
signals at this grade crossing, your municipality should
write the Toronto Office of the Canadian Transport Commission
requesting such a study (address attached) .
In the meantime, it is recommended that railway advance
warning signs (WC-104) be erected on the Sideline Road and on
eastbound Lakeshore Road, east of the intersection. It is
also recommended the railway company be contacted in regard
to clearing the sight triangle of the scrub brush.
I trust this information is of some benefit to you.
Yours truly,
Allan E . Lindsay
