REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF NOVEMBER 15, 1982.
REPORT NO: WD-93-82.
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION # C-888-82.
(PROPOSED ROAD - VILLAGE OF ORONO) .
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1 . THAT this report be received for information.
BACKGROUND:
Local residents recently expressed concerns that, with the recon-
struction of Highway 35/115 through the Orono Area, access for such
items as fire protection, from Mill Street to the area around the
Durham Farmers' County Co-operative would be severely restricted.
This matter was discussed with the Ministry of Transportation and
Communications, which suggested that it would be pleased to review
any suggestion put forward. As a result, Councillor Woodyard asked
the Director of Public Works to prepare a proposal for his present-
ation and discussion with interested individuals.
Attached is a sketch which illustrates the proposal ; this would
provide direct access from Mill Street to the area near the Durham
Farmers' County Co-operative property. It would also eliminate one
point of access to Highway 35/115, which would be desirable from
the Ministry' s point of view.

REPORT:
The proposal shown would require the acquisition of some land
from Durham Farmers' County Co-operative, and the latter ex-
pressed concern to Council , resulting in the passing of the
subject resolution.
The proposed road connection has been discussed, to a degree,
with the Ministry of Transportation & Communications, which has
indicated that consideration would be given to such a project,
if the Municipality is willing to pay associated costs. It should
be the position of the Town that any alterations to the road
system, resulting from the reconstruction of Highway 35/115,
must be the responsibility of the Ministry. Therefore, any
connection of Mill Street to Tamblyn Street (in the area of the
Co-operative) , if agreed upon between the Town and the Ministry,
should not incur any financial impact on the Municipality. The
entire issue can best be summarized as follows :
1 . The reconstruction of Highway 35/115 has raised
concerns from local residents that access between
Mill Street and the Co-operative will be severely
restricted.
2. The solution to Item 1 would be the construction
of a road, as illustrated on the attached sketch.
3. The Durham Farmers ' County Co-operative is opposed
to any loss of land to accommodate construction of
an access road.
4• M.T.C. has taken the position that construction of
an access road should be funded by the Town.
5. The Town should take the position that this road
is considered necessary due to the reconstruction
of a Provincial Highway and, therefore, associated
costs should be the responsibility of the Ministry
i
of Transportation & Communications.
Respectfu ly ubmitted,
G. upui P.lEng. ,
Director of Public Works.
