EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: OES 04-08
Date: February 11, 2008

From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
Reduced Load Highways
Amendment to the Municipal Traffic & Parking By-law 6604/05
File: A-2130
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 04-08 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services
regarding a proposed amendment to the municipal traffic by-law 6604/05 be
received; and
2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend By-law 6604/05 to provide
for the regulation of reduced load periods on highways or parts of highways
under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering.
Executive Summary: The authority for the enactment of a reduced load period is
derived from the Highway Traffic Act. The intent of the reduced load designation is to
limit the maximum vehicular loads on municipal roads which have not been constructed
to a standard sufficient to accommodate heavy loads. This is for the protection of those
roads from deterioration as a result of spring excess groundwater and intermittent
freeze/thaw cycle conditions. The reduced load period is from March 1 to April 30 every
year.
The amendment as proposed via this report:
. serves as an update to the existing by-law and,
. re-establishes the reduced load designation from portions of Sandy Beach Road
as previously removed to allow for specific construction works which could not be
achieved expeditiously under reduced load period conditions and which no
longer apply.
Financial Implications: There are no financial implications of the passing of the By-
law as the City has sufficient signs in stock.

Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to staff and the
recommendations as generated by staff are relevant to the social and economic lenses
of sustainability by addressing traffic operations and their impacts on municipal
infrastructure (roadway) management and preservation.
Background: The Highway Traffic Act, Section 122 allows municipalities and
authorities having jurisdiction over highways to designate by by-law reduced load
periods and the highways or portion of highways thereof under its jurisdiction to which
the designation applies. The City of Pickering's by-law stipulates the reduced load
period as March 1 to April 30 every year.
Via this update, staff propose to reinstate the temporary removal of the reduced load
period designation from portions of Sandy Beach Road from March and April 2007 as
the work has been completed.
Also, due to the construction/expansion of the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant, certain roads within the Squires Beach area no longer exist and as such are
hereby removed from the municipal by-law.
