Resolution #54/02
-.
Moved by Councillor Holland
Seconded by Councillor Brenner
WHEREAS important Regional roads projects in the City of Pickering are being delayed beyond
acceptable time ftames as a result of increased construction costs for Highway 401 bridge and
intersection improvements in Durham; and
WHEREAS cost increases for the Carruthers Creek interchange have surpassed 107% and
increases for future 400 series roadwork have not yet been fully accounted for;
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the City of Pickering expresses its
support for the following motion to be considered by Committee of the Whole of Regional
Council at its last meeting on March 27, 2002 and hereby requests the endorsement of the
Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham:
WHEREAS the Region of Durham's share of the construction costs for the
Highway 401 projects has escalated to approximately $29 million, an increase in
excess of 80% beyond the original estimates of the 1999 Memorandum of
Understanding with the Province of Ontario; and
WHEREAS this tremendous cost increase is creating an unreasonable burden on
the Regional taxpayers' ability to fund this commitment; and
-
WHEREAS the Regional Roads Budget is being devastated by Highway 40 I
construction costs such that important projects that are within Regional jurisdiction
are being pushed out to unacceptable timeftames; and
WHEREAS the Province of Ontario is using Superbuild funding to fully fund other
Highway 401 widening and bridge projects in Southern Ontario; and
WHEREAS the sharing of costs with the Province of Ontario for 400 series roads
projects creates a dangerous precedent for future work within the Region that must
be expunged; and
WHEREAS the economic stimulus from 400 series road improvements is widely
acknowledged, however the Region of Durham does not have the financial capacity
to fund in part or in full projects of this magnitude when they do not fall within the
Region's jurisdiction;
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the Region of Durham
directs staff to exit the Memorandum of Understanding related to the Highway 401
expansion as it relates to any further works on the Lakeridge Road and Stevenson
Road interchanges unless the Province of Ontario provides Superbuild or alternate
grant funding for all cost increases to the Region of Durham beyond the original
estimates; and
-
THAT the Province of Ontario provide a commitment to SuperBuild or alternate
grant funding by May 1,2002, and
THAT the Provincial Ministers of Finance, Transportation and Municipal Affairs
and Housing be advised that the Region, with revenue sources almost solely
derived from property taxes, is not in a position to fund, in part or in full, 400 series
road work beyond current undertakings as such work devastates the Region's
ability to deliver mandated services
