constructing municipal roads trill reach the million level by 1884 approximately percent higher than this years estimated expenditure of million The study was carried out over a one year period by the engineering firm of Philips Planning and Engineering Ltd The companys consul carried out indepth studies In four specific ansa Traffic counts and volumes on roads throughout the town Classification and In ventory of existing roads and structures determination of the deficiencies and estimates of costs for construction of future fixed costs for maintenance equipment overhead and administration Preparation of the Im provement program and financial plan for Halloo Hills for the next id years According to Dan director of the study It Is merely a document on which council can make Its future decisions concerning road needs for the next ten years certainly not a binding study at all Councillor com mended the engineers on their work noting This Is one of the greatest pieces of work that baa been prepared for this town It prepares both the and the ministry of transportation and com munications for what we hope to do In the future years He noted that a similar study carried out by a to regional government very well received by be said found that about percent of our projects were anticipated by the ministry because of that study Councillor Joe Hurst who chaired councils technical co ordinating committee which dealt with the study added While Its a guide to the future we certainly shouldnt think of It as the Bible It is only a study which should be updated each year Mr Tefft in presenting the report to council Monday night noted that his firm had only four firm proposals to make after analyzing the findings of their many studies He explained that It would be to the towns advantage to consolidate its works depart ment garages Into one central location at the Central Works Garage on the Seventh Line He noted that Actons works garage had already been moved to that site but Georgetowns yard was still In operaion The present Georgetown works complex could be of fered for sale and the of such a sale could be used toward the expanded central works garage facility the study noted with the result that it will improve the efficiency of the various public works operations and result in an overall savings to the people of HWa The second recommendation dealt with the way in which major road construction projects In the town be carried out In order to keep municipal work crews to an economically efficient level the study noted the com mittee felt that future con struction work requiring more than approximately two weeks for completion should be tendered for construction by a contractor Any other minor work not requiring specialised equipment should be done by the municipal forces The choice of major works projects was to be left strictly In the hands council through its works committee A fullscale paving program for almost all roads In the town was advised The consultants discovered that maintaining hard surfaced roads in Hal Urn Hills was much less expensive than keeping up soft surfaced gravel roads That finding Mr Tefft pointed out waa In contrast to the rest of the province and thus required a close examination The consultants also recommended that the John Street underpass running beneath the CNR tracks be completed within the next five years though the overall costs might be high Mr Tefft said the cost to the town would be low due to large federal grants for railroad Improvements It should be done be said Its an ar chaic bridge thats dangerous and Inconvenient Estimating the costs for all the possible projects over the next years the consultants concluded that based on an annual ID percent rise the annual costs would be in the neighbourhood of by 1M4 Of that amount the town would have to pay roughly and the province Helton Hills la in an en viable position as far as roads are concerened Mr aid He explained that the towns strong assessment position plus Its relatively roads needs would be the of many other com munities You could your construction In 10 years while some polities In Ontario could Andyou do It without ruining your ax base The major part of the road ind street Improvements In the study were In Georgetown and with little planned or the centres of Norval and jlen Williams Those two lent res plus Acton had ecently undergone extensive road Improvement work and thus required little additional work Besides Mr noted Acton has relatively good soli conditions helping the roads to stand up to wear and
