Regional Road No. 14 V.A. siigailis,P.En9. .(Liberty Street) from Taunton Road to Commissioner Regional Road NO 20 of Works Please quote our ref: . RR14-2, Over the past year, there have been several -discussions regarding the proposed.reversion of this. subject section of roadway., In anticipation,' the Region of Durham upgraded the* total* length of roadway at a total cost. of $1.2 million in 1994. As this roadway,- in reality, does not serve as a functional link within the Regional road network, it- would be in the best interest of the .Region and. Clarington to have this road under local control.. As a 'condition of the above noted reversion, we would. be prepared to recommend- that the Municipality of Clarington be reimbursed *50% - of its 5 year maintenance -costs attributable to the subject section. This arrangement is based upon. the premise that once Clarington assumes the road and consolidates it within its road system, the municipality. .w.ould then be eligible for . the normal Provincial maintenance subsidy based upon the new length.. This has been confirmed by correspondence dated February 20, 1995; from Shael Gwartz of the Ministry of Transportation (copy attached)... Attached is our estimate of annual operating costs based on Regional averages and Regional levels of. service. On -the basis of our . conservative' . estimate, we would recommend providing a lump sum settlement of $111, 500 . 00. to ' the municipality in conjunction with the' reversion of this roadway.

The Region of Durham has advised the ministry of its plans to transfer the above noted road to your municipality. This is to advise you that upon assumption of this portion of road by your municipality and approval by MTO, this section of roadway will be eligible for subsidy as part of the municipality's annual maintenance and construction allocation. It is therefore anticipated that the addition of this section of road into your Road System Network will change Clarington's proportion of the overall Municipal Road Program budget. However, the degree of change cannot be determined due to similar changes that have and will occur prior to the determination of municipal road allocations. Please note that all assumed roads should be included in your annual needs study update. Yours truly, .m ErmoN DURHAlvt �..- Shael E. Gwartz, P.
