direction:
1 . That the Town of Newcastle submit an application to the
Canadian Transport Commission for the installation of
automatic protection devices at the C.P. Rail Crossing
located in Lots 22 & 23, Broken Front Concession, former
Township of Clarke; and
2. That the Town' s portion of the costs be included in the
1983 Capital Forecast; and
3. That Staff be authorized to install advance warning signs
on all three approaches to the crossing, as an interim
safety measure.
As a result of the foregoing, the Town wrote to the Canadian
Transport Commission and, subsequently, the Commission requested
C.P. Rail to prepare a cost estimate for the installation of
flashing lights and warning bells at the subject Crossing. In
addition, the Railway Company was asked to confirm that they
are the junior authority at the location.
By copy of a letter from C. P. Rail to the Canadian Transport
Commission, and through confirmation in a subsequent telephone
conversation to the latter authority, Staff has learned that the
total costs involved are estimated at $55,250. 00. , of which the
Town will be expected to pay 122% ($6,906. 25) and C.P. Rail 72%
($4,143. 75) , with the C.T.C. defraying the balance of $44,200. 00.
Annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated at $1 ,200. ,
of which the Town will pay 50%.
It is understood that the Canadian Transport Commission will be
making a formal submission on the foregoing, to the Town, on the
above; this report is presented, therefore, to assist in the
preparation of assignment of funds in the 1983 Capital Budget,
and to expedite the project procedure once official notification
is to hand.
Respectfully submitted,
R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng. ,
Director of Public Works .
