9. Referrals Minutes of Peterborough County Council a. Public Works - Engineering & Design (Verbal) Re: Community Transportation Pilot Grant Program Province of Ontario The Manager, Engineering & Design (Mr. Nielsen) reported that in November 2014, the Province of Ontario introduced the Community Transportation Pilot Grant Program with the objective to explore the effectiveness of different transportation models and to better utilize existing transportation resources. Mr. Nielsen stated that the program has funds totaling $1,000,000 for applications to be received from across the Province with a maximum grant allocation of $100,000. He advised that it is intended that a collaborative approach be used to coordinate existing community resources as determined by the local community. Local municipalities are to partner with at least one community organization which can include health service agencies, social service agencies, senior s agencies or bus operators. The period of the pilot program is from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2017. Mr. Nielsen reported that applications can include the acquisition of community transportation services from third party providers such as Trentway Wager and that the deadline for applications is January 30, 2015. Mr. Nielsen concluded his report by advising that the County will provide a letter of support for an application at the request of a local municipality that chooses to apply. 36-2015 Moved by: Councillor Taylor Seconded by: Councillor Smith Be it resolved that County Council receives the verbal report regarding Community Transportation Pilot Grant Program Province of Ontario. 10. Staff Reports a. Public Works - Engineering & Design Re: County Road (CR) 3 - Geometrics and Speed Limit Review Page 10
The Manager, Engineering & Design, reviewed his report advising of the history of this section of CR 3 and the recent speed limit reductions on CR 12 (Lily Lake Road) and CR 9 (Sherbrooke Street). Mr. Nielsen informed Council that four criteria are reviewed by staff to evaluate whether the posted speed limit is appropriate or should be amended: 1. Review of design speed versus posted speed for the road. 2. Visibility and sight distance requirements identified in the County By-law 2012-26 for development adjacent to County Roads and MTO Geometric Design standards for Ontario Highways. 3. Trends in the accident history for a particular road section that identify a deficiency or cause for concern. 4. Changes in the surrounding land use that necessitate a speed limit reduction on County Roads. Mr. Nielsen elaborated on each of the four criteria and how it affects this roadway. He concluded that the existing posted 60 km/hr speed zone from MTO Highway 7 east 0.8 km is appropriate and that there are no geometric or visibility issues on this stretch. He added that the accident history showed no trends requiring a speed limit change and the speed is appropriate for the surrounding land use of semiurban residential. Mr. Nielsen advised that the section of CR 3, from 0.8 km east of Highway 7 east to the City limits, revealed that the posted speed of 80 km/hr is not appropriate based on current geometric and visibility conditions. Nine (9) of ten (10) vertical curves fail to meet a design speed of 80 km/hr and a number of the existing entrances have inadequate visibility. While there is no trend in the accident history that necessitates a speed limit reduction, there is a change in land use at the intersection of Brealey/Ackinson/Parkhill that would warrant a reduction in the speed limit at the eastern limit of CR 3. Mr. Nielsen reviewed the five alternatives for Council consideration as set out below, recommending that Alternative 5 provides the most balance between maintaining the efficiency of CR 3 as an arterial road and protecting the safety of the residents and travelling motorist but that Alternative 5 has a higher risk from a liability perspective than Alternative No. 3 due to the use of Hidden Entrance signs as opposed to a speed limit reduction: Page 11

The population age demographics for Peterborough Region reveals a very high ratio of population aged 65 years and over.
