- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That the Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy, identifying candidate existing loose
surface roads to be upgraded to hard surface roads, from north of Taunton Road to the
Uxbridge Pickering Townline, be endorsed by Council;
2. That Council consider funding for candidate roads selected for the Northern Roads Hard
Surfacing Strategy through the annual budget process; and
3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: As per Council Resolution # 227/14, Engineering & Public Works staff
has developed a Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy from north of Taunton Road to the
Uxbridge Pickering Townline. The strategy identifies
surface roads!f aom existing
loose
surface rural roads,forecast)
which are considered for upgrading to hard
Currently the City maintains approximately 60.5 centerline kms of hard surface roads, and 104.2
centerline kms of loose surface roads, north of Taunton Road. Staff have prepared the Northern
Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy to identify and prioritize candidate loose surface roads to be
upgraded to hard surface roads, based on the following criteria:
• Provide transportation connectivity to Regional Roads, Highway 407 and Highway 7,
• Ratepayer concerns regarding road conditions,
• Maintenance cost savings,
• Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and
• Financial resources available.

Staff will be recommending approval to upgrade the following loose surface roads to hard surface
roads in the 2017 Capital Budget and Four Year Forecast (2018-2021), at a total estimated cost of
$11,625,000 based on the following priority;
Priority Road Description/ Limits
Number
1 Westney Road Seventh Concession Road to Eighth Concession Road
Eighth Concession Road to Ninth Concession Road
2 Sideline 14 Highway 407 to Seventh Concession Road
3 Seventh Sideline 32 to Sideline 26
Concession Road Sideline 26 to Sideline 22
Sideline 22 to Brock Road
4 Kinsale Road Highway 407 to Seventh Concession Road
5 Sideline 24 Highway 407 to Whitevale Road
The recommended Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy and Forecast from 2017 to 2021,
with cost estimates and location maps can be found in Attachment 2.
Staff considered two construction methodologies; resurfacing and reconstruction, for converting
loose surface roads to hard surface roads. Staff recommend the reconstruction methodology to
upgrade the loose surface roads, due to the inadequate existing gravel base material quality and
thickness. Staff has also reviewed and included recommendations from the Draft 2016 Roads
Needs Study in the Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy.
The City of Pickering Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) report indicates that
the average operating cost for loose surface roads from 2011 to 2015 is $7,654.51/centerline km
and the operating cost for hard surface roads is $1,801.94/centerline km. The centerline km
operating costs for either road type does not include Winter Control costs. The average operating
cost for loose surface roads is more than four times that of hard surface roads.

Note: Westney Road from Seventh Concession Road to Eighth Concession Road was approved
as an Accelerated Infrastructure Program (AIP) project in the 2016 Capital Budget at an estimated
cost of$1,550,000. The revised cost estimate is $1,750,000 as the project now includes the
segment of Eighth Concession Road between intersections.
The above cost estimate does not include any major structures/culverts construction, relocation or
installation of new utilities, or consulting engineering fees. When a candidate road is being
considered during the budget cycle, further investigation and refinement of the above associated
project costs will be undertaken.
Discussion: On April 22, 2014 Pickering City Council passed Resolution # 227/14
(Attachment 1), regarding hard surfacing of loose surface roads, north of Taunton Road. The
Resolution recognized that the maintenance cost of loose surface roads is much higher than hard
surface roads, therefore, staff was asked to develop a five year plan to hard surface roads north of
Taunton Road including hamlets, based on priority.
As per Council Resolution # 227/14, staff developed a Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy
north of Taunton Road to the Uxbridge Pickering Townline, to identify candidate existing loose
surface rural roads, which are considered for upgrading to hard surface roads, from 2017 to 2021
(five year forecast).
Currently the City maintains approximately 60.5 centerline kms of hard surface roads, and 104.2

•
Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy to identify and prioritize candidate loose surface roads to be
upgraded to hard surface roads, based on the following criteria:
• Provide transportation connectivity to Regional Roads, connectivity to Highway 407 and
Highway 7,
• Ratepayer concerns regarding road conditions,
• Maintenance cost savings,
• Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and
• Financial resources available.
Connectivity to Regional Roads:
To upgrade loose surface roads to hard surface, one of the major criteria considered by the staff is
the logical transportation network connection between the Regional Roads, in east/west and
north/south directions.
Westney Road is a good transportation connection between Seventh Concession Road and
Regional Road 5 and ultimately to Uxbridge Pickering Townline. It is also a good connection to
Regional Road 31. It will be reconstructed in two phases. Phase 1 will be reconstructed from
Seventh Concession Road to Eighth Concession Road and was approved in the 2016 Capital
Budget as an Accelerated Infrastructure Program (AIP) project. Phase 2 will be reconstructed from
Eighth Concession Road to Ninth Concession Road (Regional Road 5). The section from Ninth
Concession Road (Regional Road 5) to Uxbridge Pickering Townline is not included in this
strategy based on priority. The segment of Eighth Concession Road between intersections is
included in Phase 1.
Seventh Concession Road is a good transportation connection between York Durham Line and
Brock Road. It will also benefit the Seaton Employment Lands. In the proposed five year forecast,
staff have recommended Seventh Concession Road to be reconstructed from Sideline 32 to Brock
Road, in three phases:
• Phase 1 -from Sideline 32 to Sideline 26
• Phase 2 - from Sideline 26 to Sideline 22
• Phase 3 - from Sideline 22 to Brock Road.
Seventh Concession Road (from York Durham Line to Sideline 32) is currently a hard surface
road , but its existing condition is inadequate. Although it is not included in the Strategy, it is a
candidate road for upgrading, and will be included in the Capital Forecast.
Connectivity to Highway 407 & Highway 7:
Existing loose surface roads connecting to the Highway 407 & Highway 7 have also been
,considered in the proposed Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy. Staff recommend
reconstruction of Sideline 14, Sideline 24 and Kinsale Road, in the Strategy.
CORP0227-07/01 revised
ENG 09-16 October 11, 2016
Subject: Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy Page 5
Sideline 14 is approximately 2.2 km long from Highway 7 to Seventh Concession Road. The
Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has built the Highway 407 underpass and hard surfaced the
section of Sideline 14 from the north limit of Highway 407 to Highway 7. The remaining existing
1.2 km loose surface road will be reconstructed to hard surface road, up to Seventh Concession
Road.
Kinsale Road is a good connection from Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 and is currently
a hard surface road from the north limit of Highway 407 to Highway 7. The remaining 1.0 km
loose surface road will be reconstructed to hard surface road, up to Seventh Concession Road.
Similarly, Sideline 24 will be hard surfaced, from Whitevale Road to the south limit of the Highway
407 underpass, a distance of approximately 1.1 km. The section of Sideline 24 from the Highway
407 underpass to Highway 7 was reconstructed to hard surface when Highway 407 was
constructed.
Ratepayer Concerns Regarding Road Conditions:
The City frequently receives requests from residents to have their existing loose surface road
upgraded to a hard surface road. This has been considered in our evaluation criteria. For
example, the City has received approximately 14 emails over the past few years requesting that
Westney Road be upgraded to a hard surface road. Other maintenance concerns regularly
received by residents include requests for grading the loose surface roads or applying dust control
suppressant at various times throughout the year.
Maintenance Cost Savings:
The average operating cost of loose surface roads is higher than the average operating costs of
hard surface roads. The maintenance of loose surface roads require different road maintenance
equipment, materials and strategies than hard surface roads, such as regular grading, and
application of material such as gravel and dust control suppressant. Staff has provided a
maintenance cost comparison of loose surface and hard surface detail later in this report based on
information from the Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) report.
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT):
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is also one of the important factors in converting loose
surface roads to hard surface roads. Upon review of the research paper, "Cost Comparison of
Treatments Used to Maintain or Upgrade Aggregate Roads" completed by Iowa State University,
Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, it shows that the operating cost
significantly depends upon AADT. The research paper concluded that the maintenance cost of
loose surface roads is greater than the maintenance cost of hard surface roads when the average
daily traffic is above 100, and increases significantly when the average daily traffic is greater than
200. All but two of the roads listed in the Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy have an AADT
greater than 100.

Financial Resources Available: •
Currently the City maintains approximately 60.5 centreline kms of hard surface, and 104.2
centreline kms of loose surface roads, north of Taunton. The staff recommended roads to be
upgraded from loose surface to hard surface, as indicated in the Northern Roads Hard Surfacing
Strategy five year forecast, are based on priority and take into account budget constraints and
available funding options.
Funding for the roads included in the strategy will come from sources such as Federal Gas Tax,
Debt Financing, and Senior Government Grants.
Construction Strategy:
Staff has considered two construction methodologies; resurfacing and reconstruction, for
converting loose surface roads to hard surface roads. From past experience, staff had found that
hard surfacing loose surface roads results in a lifecycle up to twenty to twenty five years, if the
underlying base is sufficient. Full road reconstruction results in a lifecycle of up to forty to forty-five
years, requiring only resurfacing after twenty to twenty-five years. Staff recommend using the
reconstruction technique to upgrade the loose surface roads to hard surface roads, because of the
inadequate existing gravel base material and thickness.
Operating Cost Savings:
Staff have reviewed The City of Pickering Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP)
report, which indicates that the average annual operating costs for loose surface roads from 2011
to 2015 is $7,654.51/centerline km and the average annual operating cost for hard surface roads
is $1,801.94/centerline km. The operating cost for loose surface roads is more than four times as
much as hard surface roads.
The operating costs for hard surface roads include pot hole repairs, cold patching, hot patching,
and, crack sealing. The operating costs for loose surface roads include dust control, addition of
gravel, grading/ compaction of gravel and frost boil repair etc. The winter maintenance and the
line painting cost is not included in the above operating costs, as it is not reported for MPMP.
Hard Surface & Loose Surface annual operating cost difference= $5,852.57 /centerline km
Maintenance Cost Savings in 20 years = 20 x $5,852.57 = $117,051.40/centerline km
Staff have reviewed available information from other municipalities on their operating costs. The
City of Hamilton operating cost for year 2013 for loose surface roads is approximately two times,
and The City of Ottawa operating cost is approximately three times as much as hard surface
roads. The City of Windsor operating cost for year 2010 for loose surface roads was less than the
operating cost of hard surface roads. The operating costs are significantly related to traffic AADT,
the different maintenance techniques used and levels of service.

Council Decision • Resolution #227/14
Whereas there are 166 km of roads in Pickering, north of Taunton Road.
Whereas of these roads, 63 centreline km are hard surfaced and 103 centreline km are
loose surfaced.
Whereas the maintenance of loose surface roads requires different road maintenance
equipment, materials and strategies than hard surface roads, such as regular grading,
application of materials such as gravel and dust suppressant. This results in a greater
operating cost for loose surface roads. The City of Pickering's 2012 annual
performance measures tracking indicates that these comparable operating costs are
$2,958.68/centreline km for hard surface roads and $13,983.52/centreline km for loose
surface roads, excluding winter control. Operating costs for loose surface roads are
approximately 4.5 times as much as hard surface roads.
Whereas a number of these roads are heavily travelled and the loose surface roads are
subject to greater deterioration due to rutting and weather conditions, particularly freeze
and thaw, leading to poor driving conditions.
Whereas in order to address the need to hard surface these roads Council and staff
need to develop a plan, including prioritization of roads for hard surfacing, a timeframe,
and an annual budget allocation to implement the plan.

Forecast from 2017 to 2021
As per Council Resolution # 227/14, staff has developed a Northern Roads Hard Surfacing
Strategy Forecast from 2017 to 2021 for roads north of Taunton Road to the Uxbridge Pickering
Townline.
Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy Forecast from 2017 to 2021:
Staff recommends the following roads to be upgraded from loose surface to hard surface, over the
next five years from 2017 to 2021 in priority order. A road treatment type and an approximate cost
estimate has also been produced. It would not be possible to upgrade all the loose surface roads
to hard surface at one time, due to budget limitations and other competing priorities.
Priority # 1
Westney Road - Seventh Concession Road to Eighth Concession Road and Eighth
Concession Road to Ninth Concession Road (Regional Road 5):
Westney Road, from Seventh Concession Road to Eighth Concession Road and from Eighth
Concession Road to Ninth Concession Road (Regional Road 5) is currently a loose surface road,
with an AADT of 214 (2011 counts). It is approximately 2.3 km long, from Seventh Concession
Road to Eighth Concession Road and 1.9 km long, from Eighth Concession Road to Ninth
Concession Road (Regional Road 5). Westney Road runs parallel to Brock Road. It is a good
connection from Regional Road 31 to Regional Road 5 (Ninth Concession Road) and ultimately to
the Township of Uxbridge. The City has received approximately 14 emails over the past few years
requesting the existing loose surface road be upgraded to a hard surface road.
Staff recommends hard surfacing Westney Road from Seventh Concession Road to Eighth
Concession Road and then from Eighth Concession Road to Ninth Concession Road (Regional
Road 5), in two phases. Staff may recommend upgrading Westney Road, Ninth Concession Road
(Regional Road 5) to the Township of Uxbridge in the future, depending on the traffic and the
budget requirement but it has not been included as part of this Strategy at this time. It will provide
a good connection to Highway 407, Highway No. 7 and Regional Road 31 as the approval for
Highway 407 includes a future interchange at Westney Road.
Westney Road from Seventh Concession Road to Eighth Concession Road was approved in the
2016 Capital Budget as one of the Accelerated Infrastructure Program (AIP) projects. The
approved budget is $1,550,000. The revised cost estimate is $1,750,000 as the project now
includes the segment of Eighth Concession Road between intersections.
Westney Road from Eighth Concession Road to Ninth Concession Road is in the Capital Forecast
in year 2019, for $1,500,000 but needs to be increased to $1,800,000.
Both sections of Westney Road are recommended for full reconstruction in the Road Needs
Study.
ATTACHt1ENT#?_TOREPORT# _^/ 1 0 9" i 4°
Staff supports the Road Needs Study recommendation of reconstructing Westney Road, due to
the existing inadequate base material quality and thickness. Westney Road will be reconstructed
and hard surfaced, with a suitable rural cross-section, with gravel shoulders and ditches, on both
sides.
Priority # 2
Sideline 14 - Highway 407 to Seventh Concession Road:
Sideline 14 will be hard surfaced, from Seventh Concession Road to approximately 1.2 km south
of Seventh Concession Road. It currently has an AADT of 38 (2011 counts). It will be a good
north/ south connection between Highway 7 and Seventh Concession Road, parallel to Brock
Road. The Highway 407 underpass has been constructed and the road was upgraded to hard
surface from Highway 7 to the north limit of the underpass. Sideline 14 is in the Capital Forecast in
year 2018 budget, for $1,350,000 but this estimate can be reduced due to refinements made.
The Road Needs Study recommends to pulverize and resurface Sideline 14. The study provides a
cost estimate of$575,906.
Staff recommends reconstructing and hard surfacing Sideline 14, due to the inadequate existing
gravel base material quality and thickness. It will be upgraded with a suitable rural cross-section
with gravel shoulders and ditches, on both sides. The recommended budget is $925,000
Priority# 3
Seventh Concession Road - Sideline 32 to Sideline 26, Sideline 26 to Sideline 22 and
Sideline 22 to Brock Road:
Seventh Concession Road, Sideline 32 to Sideline 26, Sideline 26 to Sideline 22 & Sideline 22 to
Brock Road, are currently loose surface roads, with an AADT range from 609 to 691 (2011
counts). It is approximately 2.4 km in length, from Sideline 32 to Sideline 26, 1.7 km in length,
from Sideline 26 to Sideline 22 & 1.6 km in length, from Sideline 22 to Brock Road. It will be a
good future connection from York Durham Line to Brock Road. It will be a future hard surfaced
connection parallel to Highway 7 and will benefit Seaton Employment Lands. The future traffic
volume will increase significantly on this road, with the proposed future development in the area.
The Road Needs Study recommends full reconstruction in year 2020.
Staff supports the Road Needs Study recommendation of reconstructing Seventh Concession
Road, because of the existing inadequate base material quality and thickness. Seventh
Concession Road will be reconstructed and hard surfaced, with a suitable rural cross-section, with
gravel shoulders and ditches, on both sides, in three phases from Sideline 32 to Sideline 26,
Sideline 26 to Sideline 22 and Sideline 22 to Brock Road.
The recommended budget for Seventh Concession Road from Sideline 32 to Sideline 26 is
$2,150,000. Sideline 26 to Sideline 22 is $1,525,000 and Sideline 22 to Brock Road is $1,525,000.

Proposed Road Reconstruction Projects
In addition to the Northern Roads Hard Surfacing Strategy Projects, City of Pickering staff will also be
recommending future reconstruction of the following existing hard surface roads north of Taunton
Road in the short to mid-term through the annual budget process:
• Salem Road — Highway 7 to Fifth Concession Road (approved for 2017)
• Sixth Concession Road —Westney Road to Greenwood Road (approved for 2017)
• Scarbrough— Pickering Townline Road — Finch Avenue to Third Concession Road
• Seventh Concession Road —York Regional Road 30 to Sideline 32
• Uxbridge—Pickering Townline Road—York Regional Road 30 to Sideline 26
Proposed Frost Boil Repair Program
Engineering & Public Works staff will be recommending a new"Frost Boil Repair Program" in the
2017 Roads Current Budget, to address frost boils on an annual basis. Frost boils occur when there
is an upwards swelling of the soil during freezing conditions caused by an increasing presence of
moisture in the road base. During the freeze thaw cycle in the spring, the City's loose surface roads
experience frost boils making driving conditions difficult and requiring frequent maintenance. The
Frost Boil Repair Program Will consist of excavation of the moisture bearing material and.replacement
with new granular material.
If you have any questions or require any further information regarding the above, please do not
hesitate to contact me at 905.420.4660 ext. 2213 or by email at nzahoor @pickering.ca.
