Cannella, C.E.T., - Director of Engineering Services --~~ Franklin Wu, l' Chief Administrative Officer ASC*jb CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONT,A,RIO L 1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-4169 - 7U1 REPORT NO.: EGD-57-04 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Station Street is classified as a collector road in the Clarington Roads Needs Study and has inadequate surface width, with surface and structural deficiencies. It provides access from and to southbound traffic on Highway 115 and 35 and is used for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic accessing residences, businesses and the Orono Fairgrounds I Arena. During the Orono Fair parking is at a premium on Station Street and all the adjacent streets in the area. In 1995 there was a Public Information Centre held at Orono Town Hall for the reconstruction of Station Street, at which time most of the residents complained of numerous drainage problems on the street and adjacent properties. In 1996 storm sewers were placed from Rowe Street to just west of Orono Fuel and Lumber to correct some of these drainage problems and new sidewalk and curb was placed on the north side of the street from Main Street to Church Street in 2002. 2.0 APPROACH 2.1 As the remainder of Station Street, from Main Street to Highway 115 and 35, is included in the 2004 Capital Budget and 2 year forecast, a second Public Information Centre was held. The public was notified of the meeting by newspaper advertisement and through the circulation of notices. 3.0 INFORMATION CENTRES 3.1 Information Centre, September 2, 2004 At the meeting the following documentation and plans were presented for discussion: . Existing Road Condition Base Plans, showing proposed road works with aerial photography as a background; . Various typical road sections for alternative urban designs with on-street and off-street parking; Option 1 - 8 metre road width with 1.7 m concrete sidewalk adjacent to curb on north and south side of Station Street. 1" '/ I u fw REPORT NO.: EGD-57-04 PAGE 3 Option 2 - 7 metre road width with 1.7 m concrete sidewalk adjacent to the curb on the north side and 2 metre asphalt boulevard with semi- mountable curb on the south side of Station Street. . A Tree Assessment Report and a Soils Report was available for reading. In all, 20 people attended the meeting and a majority of those in attendance were in favour of reconstruction. The design proposals were well received with concerns expressed about sidewalk location, on-street parking and poor condition of adjacent roads leading to the fairgrounds. Poor sidewalk conditions on Princess Street and Station Street North lead some in attendance to express concerns about pedestrian traffic to and from the fairgrounds. In general, there was no overwhelming preference to Option No. 1 or Option NO.2 and the need for a sidewalk was also split. A number of questions were also raised regarding right-of-way width and property ownership in the area. Several members of the Orono Horticultural Society were present and expressed concern over the impact the reconstruction will have on the garden located at the intersection of Station Street and Station Street North. In recent years, the Society has spent considerable time and effort to upgrade and maintain the garden. A Register of those in attendance is provided on Attachment 1. 4.0 SIDE STREET RESURFACING 4.1 A great number of residents asked if construction was going to take place on Princess Street, Church Street, Station Street North and Rowe Street, because of the poor road surfaces on these streets. Church Street is a dead-end street with both the sidewalk and road being in poor condition. Princess Street is relied on heavily to provide both vehicular and iua REPORT NO.: EGD-57-o4 PAGE 4 pedestrian traffic to the fairgrounds and arena. The road surface on this street is in poor condition and the sidewalk is in need of repair at various locations. Station Street North's road surface is in poor condition with the sidewalk being paved over to try and correct drainage problems. The most westerly street is Rowe, which is in poor condition and runs parallel to Highway 35/115, providing access from the Highway to the Fairgrounds. 5.0 DISCUSSION 5.1 As a result of the Information Centre, detailed design will proceed based on Option No.2 with an aim to maximize the availability of on-street parking opportunities. In addition, Church, Princess, Station Street North and Rowe streets should be considered for inclusion in the Municipality's Asphalt Overlay Program in 2005 so that work on these streets can co-ordinate with the Station Street Reconstruction. A copy of the base plan will be circulated to an Ontario Land Surveyor prior to finalizing design details in order to clarify legal ownership issues associated with the road right-of-way in this area. Design drawings and tender documents will be prepared to target an early spring tender call so that Council can consider the project for a construction start in May or June of 2005. Through the Director of Engineering Services, the Manager of Parks Development, Peter Windolf, willliase with the Orono Horticultural Society to ensure that the garden is re-established as part of the reconstruction project, to their satisfaction. iu4 REPORT NO.: EGD-57-Q4 PAGE 5 Attachments: Attachment No.1 - Attendance register Interested parties to be advised of Council's decision: J.R. & N.
