That the attached draft By-law limiting the gross vehicle weight of any vehicle or any class thereof, passing over certain bridges, under the jurisdiction of The Corporation of the City of Pickering be enacted; and 2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: The Highway Traffic Act and Ontario Regulation 104/97 Standards for Bridges require that every bridge and/or structure be kept safe and in good repair through periodic inspections under the direction of a Professional Engineer and in accordance with the provisions of the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual, or equivalent. Further, The Highway Traffic Act establishes that municipalities "having jurisdiction over a bridge may by by-law limit the gross vehicle weight of any vehicle or any class thereof passing over the bridge". The City of Pickering retains a qualified bridge inspection firm to perform regular bridge inspections every 2 years. In 2016, the City of Pickering retained Keystone Bridge Management Corporation to inspect and validate the gross vehicle weight limit restrictions for the bridge structures included in the parent by-law. Keystone Bridge Management Corporation conducted bridge load testing on 5 municipal bridges in support of determining the appropriate load limit for by-law purposes. As a result of the testing, load limits were assigned to the 5 bridges and established through By-law 7497/16 and accompanying Schedules A and B. Keystone Bridge Management Corporation was retained in 2018 to assess the City's 66 bridges and culverts, of which 55 have a span of 3.0m or over. As a result of the recent assessments and inspections, 2 additional bridges require a load limit by-law and 1 bridge with an existing load limit by-law requires the load limit to be reduced. Based on the above, staff have prepared a proposed by-law which identifies the new recommended maximum weight load limits on 3 bridges (Bridge #7002, 8003 and 10002), maintains the existing maximum weight load limits on 4 bridges (Bridge #6003, 7004, 8001, 9006), and repeals the previously established associated by-law.
ENG 01-19 January 7, 2019 Subject: Municipal Bridge Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Restrictions By-law to establish a load limit for certain bridges under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering Page 2 Financial Implications: The costfor Keystone Bridge Management Corporation to inspect and re-affirm proposed load limits at the 7 bridge locations and to certify the by-law was $3,825.00 plus HST which is being charged to 2290.2392.0000 Engineering Services -Administration. In order to remove the bridge load limits, future expenditures will be required to rectify structural deficiencies and to bring the bridges up to current code requirements. Discussion: In June of 2016, staff presented report ENG 11-16 to the Executive Committee. The report, as adopted by the Committee and approved by Council: • identified the maximum vehicle load limits established on 5 bridges as a result of the inspections on all bridges currently under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering • presented for Council endorsement, the draft by-law necessary for bridge load designations • established the necessary schedules for signature by 2 Professional Engineers certifying the safe load limits and the duration for which the limits apply As a result of the recent inspection of the Pickering/Uxbridge Townline bridge (Bridge #10002), there is a need to reduce the maximum vehicular weight limit restriction of the structure from 10 tonnes to 5 tonnes as set out in Municipal Bridge Load By-law 7497/16. Two additional bridges (Bridge #7002, Wilson Bridge on Seventh Concession Road approximately 2. 1 km east of York/Durham Townline Road, and Bridge #8003 on Eighth Concession Road, approximately 0.9 km west of Regional Road #23 (Lake Ridge Road) are recommended for cautionary load limits of 15 tonnes and 20 tonnes respectively. The maximum vehicular weight limit restriction for the remaining 4 bridges remains the same as per the current by-law (By-law 7497/16). A copy of bridge site location maps, the draft amending by-law and revised Schedule "A", which identifies all structures to which the by-law applies, are attached. If passed by Council, a completed Schedule "B" will be signed and sealed by 2 Professional Engineers from Keystone Bridge Management Corporation and will form part of the new by-law.
