Executive Commitee
Report Number: ENG 13-18
Date: June 18, 2018
From: Richard Holborn
Director, Engineering Services
Subject: Transfer of Sideline 26 Road Allowance
- Taunton Road to Whitevale Road
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That the road allowance know as Sideline 26 between Taunton Road and Whitevale Road,
being Part of the Road Allowance between Lots 26 and 27, Concession 4, designated as
Part 1, Plan 40R-29922 and Part 1, Plan 40R-29923 be declared surplus to the needs of the
City of Pickering and be transferred to the Regional Municipality of Durham for nominal
consideration; and
2. 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 Whites Road (Regional Road #38) north of
Taunton Road, within the Sideline 26 road allowance, is anticipated to commence in summer
2018, it is appropriate to transfer the road allowance to the Regional Municipality of Durham to
facilitate the works and future maintenance responsibilities.
Financial Implications: There is no direct financial implications arising from this report. The 4.1
lane km of existing gravel surface road will be removed from the City's 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 was the extension of Whites Road to Highway 7, from its existing
northern limit at Taunton Road. It was determined that the alignment of future Whites Road would
follow the existing alignment of Sideline 26 from Taunton Road to Whitevale Road, and would
follow a slightly different north/south alignment from Whitevale Road to Highway 7, to eliminate
the jog at Whitevale Road.
The design of Whites Road from Taunton Road to Highway 7 is nearing completion, and road
construction coordinated and administered by the Seaton Landowners Group is anticipated to

commence in summer 2018, As such, it is appropriate that the road allowance be transferred to
the Region of Durham at this time.
Reference Plans have been prepared and registered which describe the Sideline 26 road
allowance for conveyance purposes. Sideline 26 is legally described as Part of the Road
Allowance between Lots 26 and 27, Concession 4, designated as Part 1, Plan 40R-29922 and
Part 1, Plan 40R-29923. Staff have reviewed the Reference Plans and deemed them acceptable.
Sideline 26 is currently temporarily closed to traffic between Taunton Road and Whitevale Road
due to municipal servicing taking place along Taunton Road that effectively closed off the
intersection. The road will, remain closed until completion of reconstruction to the future Whites
Road.
City of Pickering staff and Region of Durham staff are having discussions regarding the road
rationalization initiative, and Sideline 26 between Taunton Road and Whitevale Road 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 Sideline 26 to the Region of Durham is being
done outside of the road rationalization process as time is of the essence.
