No.2 : Announcement from Gord Mills, M.P.P. , that $250,000
Supplementary Subsidy is available for the
reconstruction of Beaver Street.
2.0 BACKGROUND

reconstruction of Beaver Street from Edward Street southerly to
Highway 401 and of Robert Street from Beaver Street to Mill Street,
in the Village of Newcastle.

REPORT NO. : WD-42-91 PAGE 2
2 .2 The reconstruction of Beaver Street from Edward Street to
Highway 2 was not provided for in the Capital Budget because at the
time of preparation it was not known where the funding could come
from. Subsequent to the preparation of the Budget the Province of
Ontario announced the proposed Anti-Recession Program. Application
was made for funding for the project under this program. However,
the Province has advised that funding would not be available from
this source.
2 . 3 Gord Mills, M.P.P. , has recently advised the Town that the Province
will provide $250,000 Supplementary Subsidy for the reconstruction
of Beaver Street from Edward Street to Highway 2 (Attachment No.2) .
2 .4 The projected Lot Levy Reserve Fund balance at the end of 1991 and
reflected in the Capital Budget was $885,000. Therefore, the
Town's share of the project, $250,000, can be obtained from the Lot
Levy Reserve Fund leaving a projected year end balance of $635,000 .
3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
3. 1 It is therefore recommended that Council approve the reconstruction
of Beaver Street from Edward Street to Highway 2 and that the
funding be provided by $250,000 from the Supplementary Subsidy from
the Ministry of Transportation and $250,000 from the Lot Levy
Reserve Fund.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,

I'OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 18th, 1991
Durham-gar--t to receive $859,700 in supplementary
funds for municipal -road p ects
Durham East will receive $859,700 in supplementary allocations
for municipal road projects, Gord Mills, MPP for Durham East
announced today on behalf of Ontario Transportation minister Ed
Philip.
"This supplementary funding program will assist municipalities
in our area with a wide range of road and street improvements.
These include upgrading bridges and culverts, as well as providing
safety features such as guardrails and traffio lights. I welcome
these improvements because they will make roads safer for my
constituents+l, said Mills.
"Improving the municipal road system in Durham East plays an
important part of strengthening Ontario's overall transportation
system, " Philip said.
"I am pleased the ministry is able to maintain supplementary
funds at levels comparable to last yearts expenditures, " Philip
said. "This will enable municipalities to maintain the soundness
of their road and bridge infrastructures. safer roads mean safer
transportation."
The funding for Durham East is part of $87 . 6 million in
supplementary funds allocated by the province to municipalities for
such projects as building and repairing bridges, roads and
culverts.
The provincial government has already allocated $623 .6 million
to municipalities for road work in 1991. This represents a 6 .8 per
cent increase over the basic allocation for 1990.
"These projects will create 100, 000 person-weeks of employment
across the province, " said Philip. "That's a welcome boost to
local economies during recession. "
