That the section of road allowance being Part of the Road Allowance between Lots 20 and 21, Concession 5, designated as Part 3, Plan 40M-31419, known as Sideline 20, between Whitevale Road and a point approximately 22m north of Whitevale Road be declared surplus to the needs of the City of Pickering and be transferred to the Regional Municipality of Durham for nominal consideration; 4. That the section of road allowance being Part of the Road Allowance between Lots 20 and 21, Concession 4, designated as Part 2, Plan 40M-31419, known as Mulberry Lane, between Whitevale Road and a point approximately 25m south of Whitevale Road, be declared surplus to the needs of the City of Pickering and be transferred to the Regional Municipality of Durham for nominal consideration; and 5. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: As the construction of Alexander Knox Road (Regional Road #40), from Brock Road to a point approximately 230m west of the Sideline 22 road allowance (future Peter Matthews Drive) within the Whitevale Road road allowance, is anticipated to commence in summer 2021, it is appropriate to transfer the required sections of road allowances to the Regional Municipality of Durham to facilitate the construction works and future maintenance responsibilities. Reference Plans have been prepared and registered, which describe the lands ENG 15-21 July 26, 2021 Subject: Transfer of Whitevale Road – Road Allowance Brock Road to West of the Sideline 22 Road Allowance Page 2 to be transferred. Staff have reviewed the Reference Plans and have deemed them acceptable. Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications arising from this report. The approximate 4.1 km lane of existing hard surface road will be removed from the City’s asset inventory and there will no longer be a requirement for the City to maintain this road. Discussion: The planning of the Seaton Community through the Central Pickering Development Plan (2006), the Central Pickering Development Plan Class Environmental Assessment for Regional Services in the City of Pickering (2014), and the approval of the Neighbourhood Plan for Seaton through Official Plan Amendment 22 by the Ontario Municipal Board (2013), recognized the need for a Regional Road network to service Seaton. One such Regional Road is the construction of Alexander Knox Road between Brock Road and The York-Durham Line as future Regional Road #40, as shown on the attached location map (Attachment #1). It was determined through the planning of the Seaton Community and the above noted studies that the alignment of future Alexander Knox Road would follow the existing alignment of Whitevale Road, for the section between Brock Road and a point west of the Sideline 22 road allowance, and then follow a slightly different east/west alignment (further south) beyond that point, to The York-Durham Line, to bypass the Hamlet of Whitevale. The design of Alexander Knox Road from Brock Road to west of the Sideline 22 road allowance (future Peter Matthews Drive) is nearing completion. Road construction, coordinated and administered by the Seaton Landowners Group, is anticipated to commence in summer 2021. As such, it is appropriate that the required sections of road allowance be transferred to the Region of Durham at this time. Reference Plans have been prepared and registered which describe the sections of the Whitevale Road road allowance to be conveyed to the Region of Durham. Those sections of Whitevale Road are now legally described as Part of the Road Allowance between Concessions 4 and 5, designated as Part 1, Plan 40R-31418, Part 1, Plan 40M-31419, Part 1, Plan 40M-31420, Part 1, Plan 40M-31421, and Part 1, Plan 40M-31422. There are three (3) road allowances that intersect with Whitevale Road, and there is a requirement to transfer sections of those road allowances as they will ultimately become part of the Alexander Knox road allowance. The section of road allowance known as the Sideline 22 road allowance between Whitevale Road and a point approximately 27m north of Whitevale Road, being Part of the Road Allowance between Lots 22 and 23, Concession 5, designated as Part 2, Plan 40M-31421; the section of road allowance known as Sideline 20 between Whitevale Road and a point approximately 22m north of Whitevale Road, being Part of the Road Allowance between Lots 20 and 21, Concession 5, designated as Part 3, Plan 40M-31419; and the section of road allowance known as Mulberry Lane between Whitevale Road and a point approximately 25m south of Whitevale Road, being Part of the Road ENG 15-21 July 26, 2021 Subject: Transfer of Whitevale Road – Road Allowance Brock Road to West of the Sideline 22 Road Allowance Page 3 Allowance between Lots 20 and 21, Concession 4, designated as Part 2, Plan 40M-31419 are also required to be transferred to the Region of Durham. Staff have reviewed the Reference Plans and deemed them acceptable. City of Pickering staff and Region of Durham staff are having discussions regarding the road rationalization initiative, and Whitevale Road from Brock Road to approximately 230m west of the Sideline 22 road allowance was recognized as a candidate road for transfer. As road rationalization discussions are still ongoing and may take some time to conclude, the transfer of this section of Whitevale Road to the Region of Durham is being done outside of the road rationalization process as time is of the essence.
