AMEC confirmed to staff that the study was completed to all applicable<br />

standards, and was representative <strong>of</strong> possible traffic conditions. Photographic<br />

documentation was included in the report.<br />

What did the AMEC Study Find?<br />

<strong>The</strong> AMEC report found that surface vibration levels at the front <strong>of</strong> 60 Main Street<br />

were below benchmark readings for the area, and that there were not any<br />

abnormal readings immediately across the street or at the neighboring property<br />

(62 Main Street South).<br />

AMEC confirmed with municipal staff that vibration readings progressively<br />

decreased as the recordings were taken further away from the road, and that this<br />

is typical <strong>of</strong> a healthy roadway.<br />

AMEC confirmed with municipal staff that vibrations occurring in the home in a<br />

china cabinet could be the result <strong>of</strong> that particular piece <strong>of</strong> furniture amplifying<br />

vibration, and that further detailed vibration study work would need to be<br />

conducted in the home to determine the cause.<br />

What Did Council Decide?<br />

Considering the information presented; the opinion from AMEC that the roadway<br />

was typical; and the possible precedent <strong>of</strong> the municipality funding a detailed<br />

study on private property Council directed that no further action was to be taken.<br />

Respectfully submitted,<br />

Brent Kittmer, P.Eng.<br />

Director <strong>of</strong> Community Services<br />
