D.C.S. Report No. 116-2012 Friday, December 7, 2012<br />
TO:<br />
FROM<br />
RE:<br />
Mayor Weber and Members <strong>of</strong> Council<br />
Brent Kittmer, Director <strong>of</strong> Community Services<br />
Forest Main Street South Vibration Testing<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
That the report be received for Council’s direction.<br />
REPORT<br />
<strong>The</strong> property owner <strong>of</strong> 60 Main Street South, Forest, has submitted concerns to Council<br />
regarding vibrations occurring in her home which is adjacent to the roadway. <strong>The</strong><br />
perceived cause if the problem is the surface condition <strong>of</strong> the roadway. Council received<br />
the complainant’s letter, and passed the following motion:<br />
12-0904-07 Moved by: Deputy Mayor Davis-Dagg<br />
Seconded by: Councillor Bonesteel<br />
That staff prepare a report on the condition <strong>of</strong> Main Street, South in Forest as well as<br />
submitting a request for funding to the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Transportation for the repair and<br />
upgrade <strong>of</strong> this “connecting link” and that this roadway be included in the 2013<br />
Capital Budget deliberations for consideration as a priority. Carried<br />
In response to this direction staff prepared and presented DCS report #102-2012 which<br />
outlined four possible options for moving forward:<br />
Option #1 – $2,500<br />
Option #2 – $168,000<br />
Option #3 – $215,000<br />
Option #4 - $289,000<br />
Initial vibration study<br />
Resurface Philbroden to George<br />
Resurface Philbroden to George, and<br />
Broadway to King<br />
Resurface Philbroden to King<br />
As noted in DCS report #102-2012 there is no funding available from the MTO for this<br />
project, so any corrective actions taken to resolve the complaint will be required to be<br />
100% funded by the municipality. Upon review <strong>of</strong> this information, Council referred the<br />
matter to budget and staff was instructed to complete the vibration study.<br />
AMEC Environment & Infrastructure was retained to complete the study work, and<br />
readings were taken on November 12, 2012. Attached to this report is a condensed<br />
version <strong>of</strong> AMEC’s findings, including the body <strong>of</strong> the report and picture documentation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the traffic that passed by at the time <strong>of</strong> the readings.<br />
