Re: MW-2007-95
Corwin Avenue -Traffic Operations Review
RECOMMENDATION:
That Corwin Avenue not be closed south of Lundys Lane (Parts Source store) and no
further action be taken.
BACKGROUND:
City Council directed staff to prepare a report on the Parts Source retail store at the
northwest corner of Lundys Lane and Corwin Avenue in response to residents'
parking/traffic concerns. Petitions were received by the City on May 3, 2007, prior to the
opening of the store. A road closure for Corwin Avenue was requested at the
residential/commercial boundary.
Prior to the redevelopment of the property, it operated as a Salvation Army office until it
was vacated for a few years. One driveway, via Lundys Lane serviced the site.
A site plan application was approved in 2006 for a commercial development on the
southwest cornerof Lundys Lane and Corwin Avenue. Anew building was erected forthe
automobile parts business. Given that the property was already zoned for the new
development, the application proceeded straight to the site plan stage.
In order for deliveries to be made to the site, an access was permitted via Corwin Avenue.
A condition of site plan approval was to implement various parking and traffic controls on
Corwin Avenue to prevent operational problems from developing on Corwin Avenue,
including methods to minimize the occurrences of cut-through traffic from utilizing the
abutting subdivision.
The three regulatory signing conditions included:
1. the installation of "no parking" signs alongside the development on the west
side of Corwin Avenue with a 18-metre gap for bus parking in the morning;
Community Services Department
Transportation Services
~~z"~ -
September 10, 2007 _2_ MW-2007-95
2. the posting of a "no heavy vehicle" restriction on Corwin Avenue. The
restriction prohibits heavyvehicle operators from using the residential streets
to arrive or depart from the site. However, drivers to this retail outlet will be
permitted to use the short section of Corwin Avenue from Lundy's Lane to
the access to enter the site. An additional "no heavy vehicle" sign will be
installed beyond the Corwin Avenue access to reinforce the restricted zone;
and,
3. the installation of an outbound "no right turn" restriction at the Corwin Avenue
driveway. All site traffic is required to exit toward Lundy's Lane.
These measures have been recommended by staff, as a condition of site plan approval,
as a proactive step, in order to minimize the traffic impacts on the adjacent residential
neighbourhood. The developer had also made concessions by agreeing to use a smaller
45-foot long truck for deliveries instead of the standard 70-foot truck which the Parts
Source franchise normally utilizes for their sites.
Lundy's Lane is under the jurisdiction of the Region of Niagara. Staff works closely with
Regional staff in development applications where sites front onto roads from both
agencies. Access management principles play an important role for businesses to thrive.
Sole access onto one street, particularly smaller lots as the subject parcel, is not conducive
for all business operations. Past experience has shown that truck drivers will block a traffic
lane if the site is not designed for larger vehicles. This creates safety issues including
congestion, weaving and reduced sight lines. In order for the developer to fulfill all current
design guidelines, particularly containing all deliveries on the site itself, a second driveway
was justified. It would be difficult to achieve this development proposal without a second
driveway.
The grand opening of the Parts Source store was Saturday, May 19, 2007. The business
proprietors held an opening event which was advertised through the local newspaper and
radio outlets. Collecting traffic data immediately upon the store's opening would have
produce inflated traffic figures which could be expected with shoppers enticed to the outlet
with discount prices. Instead, traffic studies were carried out in July to capture prevailing
conditions that would be expected on a routine basis. The data was collected over a 7-day
period, including overnight and on the weekend. The Parts Source store is open seven
days a week, with shorter operating hours on the weekend.
Corwin Avenue has a 7.0 metre pavement width with a 1.5 metre grass/gravel boulevard
and a continuous concrete sidewalk on both sides. Corwin Avenue is residential except
for the side frontages of the two properties at Lundy's Lane. Motorists can travel two-
blocks from Lundy's Lane to Barker Street, at which point, they must stop for an all-way
stop control. This is a distance of 250 metres. Spence Street is a local residential roadway
that extends two-blocks from Dorchester Road to Carlton Avenue. Both mid-blocks on
Spence Street are less than 200 metres in length and are separated by a stop sign facing
east and westbound motorists at Corwin Avenue.
Existing traffic volumes on Corwin Avenue abutting the residential zone has stayed fairly
consistent with the traffic volumes collected in 2005 and 2006. The 24-hour traffic volume
recorded in the previous studies were 639 and 635 vehicles respectively. This indicates
that the traffic profile on Corwin Avenue has remained consistent throughout the year.
September 10, 2007 _3_ MW-2007-95
Data collected in July 2007 identified daily volumes during the weekday ranging between
570 and 644 vehicles, while the Saturday had 582 vehicles. The lowest traffic volumes
were recorded on Sunday - 453 vehicles. From the chart below, the highest hourly volume
recorded was 56 vehicles which coincided with the afternoon peak hour. The
aforementioned regulatory controls appear to have minimized the occurrence of traffic
infiltrating the abutting neighbourhood.
Spence Street carries less than 350 vehicles daily with peak hour volumes of 30

bidirectional vehicles. This also coincides with the afternoon peak hour.
A resident of Spence Street identified concerns regarding motorists using the area roads
as acut-through route when the nearby Dorchester Road/Lundy's Lane intersection is
congested. Northbound queues normally extend up to and beyond Spence Street. The
approved Dorchester Road Environmental Assessment identifies an expansion of
Dorchester Road to five lanes north of Spence Street. The additional intersection capacity
will assist in improving the level of service whereby the option of shortcutting may diminish.
The operating speed obtained on Corwin Avenue was at or below 50 km/h for each day of
the study. The speed limit on Corwin Avenue is 50 km/h. Similarly, Spence Street
September 10, 2007 _q._ MW-2007-95
between Dorchester Road and Corwin Avenue had an operating speed below 50 km/h.
In both cases, a speeding problem was not observed.
Residents have the option of participating in the Neighbourhood Speed Watch Program.
This is a safety awareness program intended to give motorists a friendly reminder of their
speed when traveling through the neighbourhood. Residents have the opportunity to help
make the neighbourhood safer by volunteering to participate in this program. Often, drivers
who speed in residential areas are unaware of the effect their actions have on the peace
and safety of others. The radar board displays the actual speed of the passing car
(whether it is speeding or not) and helps the specific violator become aware of their
excessive speed and lets them learn from the experience, without the consequence of a
fine. Staff reviews the data collected and the Niagara Regional Police may further assist
if a speeding problem is noted.
The Parts Source store contains 37 parking spaces, per the City's Zoning by-law. Several
site investigations noted an average lot occupancy of less than 20 vehicles. On occasion,
vehicles were also observed parked on both sides of Corwin Avenue within the permitted
parking zone. Patrons of the Flying Saucer Restaurant on the east side of Corwin Avenue
also utilize the on-street parking next to the business. A permit parking zone is already
established abutting the residential zone which prohibits customers from parking in front
of a residence.
In conclusion, Staff's findings reveal that:
• thetrafficvolumeshcve remained consistentwith pre-developmentlevels, indicating
minimal traffic infiltration in the surrounding neighbourhood;
• the operating speed is below 50 km/h, identifying that a speeding problem does not
exist; and,
a overflow parking into the residential area was not observed.
Therefore, no further action is recommended at this time.

Re: MW-2007-101
Pitton Road at Lynhurst Drive
Intersection Control Review
RECOMMENDATION:
That the yield sign facing eastbound motorists on Lynhurst Drive at Pitton Road be
replaced with a stop sign.
BACI~(GROUND:
At the request of area residents, staff conducted a review at the intersection of Pitton Road
and Lynhurst Drive. The concern at this location stems from motorists travelling in excess
of the legal speed limit on Pitton Road.
Pitton Road is a north/south local roadway consisting of two travel lanes, one in each
direction. Lynhurst Drive is an east/west local roadway also consisting of one travel lane
in each direction. Both roadways have sidewalks present on each side for pedestrian use.
Parking is permitted on both sides of both roadways. In the study area, Pitton Road
contains a reverse curve to the south of Lynhurst Drive.
A visibility study conducted at the intersection reveals sight lines to be adequate while
viewing traffic to the north and south on Pitton Road. There are sharp curve signs advising
motorists of the geometric changes on Pitton Road, complemented by advisory speed tabs
indicating the recommended travel speed of 30 km/h around the curves. Vehicles were
observed parking on both sides of both roadways as parking is permitted. A collision
review conducted for the previous three years for the intersection as well as the mid-block
sections of both roadways reveals that a collision problem does not exist.
A petition was delivered to all homes within 75 metres of the intersection. Of the thirty-two
(32) delivered questionnaires, 16 (50%) were returned. In order for the residential
component of the City of Niagara Falls Residential All-Way Stop Warrant to be fulfilled, at
least 80% of the residents within. 75 metres of the intersection must favour the installation
of the all-way stop control. It should also be noted that a petition was submitted to the City
Community Services Department

with twenty-two (22) homeowner signatures, in favour of implementing an all-way stop at
Pitton Road and Lynhurst Drive.
A speed study was also conducted on Pitton Road, the through roadway, in order to
determine whether a speed problem exists. This speed study revealed that the 85`h
percentile speed, the speed at which the majority of motorists travel at or below, is 55
km/h. Given the 50 km/h speed limit, the results obtained identify that the operating speed
is slightly above the speed limit but not considered to be excessive.
Past experience has shown that the installation of unwarranted all-way stop controls, where
the traffic volumes between the two roads are unequal, may not achieve the results
expected by the local community. Motorists may disregard the signs, as the infrequency
of side street traffic may promote this occurrence as the need to stop is not evident to the
road user. Speeds are normally reduced within a 30-metre threshold of the intersection,
but may actually increase beyond the 30-metres. Also, as drivers decelerate/accelerate,
this increases air and noise pollution, and delays emergency vehicle operators, which are
required to stop for the signs.
Based on this information, it is recommended that the existing yield sign on Lynhurst Drive
be replaced with a stop sign, rather than an all-way stop control.

Badger Road at Echo Circle/Kendale Court
Intersection Control Review
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) That a stop sign be installed facing northbound motorists on Echo Circle at the
intersection of Badger Road at Echo Circle/Kendale Court; and,
2) That a stop sign be installed facing southbound motorists on Kendale Court at the
intersection of Badger Road at Echo Circle/Kendale Court.
BACKGROUND:
In reply to a request, staff conducted an intersection control review at the intersection of
Badger Road at Echo Circle/Kendale Court. Presently, the study intersection is controlled
by the basic right-of-way rule.
The subject intersection is located in the Westwood Viiiage Subdivision. Badger Road is
a minor collector roadway that extends in an east/west direction from Montrose Road to
Charnwood Avenue. Echo Circle and Kendale Court are minor local cul-de-sacs that form
a cross intersection with Badger Road.
Stop signs are typically installed on minor roadways at cross intersections to clearly
allocate the right-of-way to approaching motorists. The signs necessitate all motorists on
the minor roadway to complete a full legal stop and ensure that it is safe to proceed prior
to entering the intersection.
Therefore, staff is recommending that a stop sign be installed on the minor approaches of
Badger Road at Echo Circle/Kendale Court.

Re: MW-2007-103
Intersection Improvements -Victoria Avenue and Clifton Hill
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That Council authorize staff to proceed with a public tender and construction of the
intersection improvements at the intersection of Clifton Hill and that;
2. That the project be funded from debentures.
BACKGROUND:
On March 19, 2007, Council authorized the engagement of Urban & Environmental
Management Incorporated (UEM) to complete the detailed design of the Victoria Avenue
and Clifton Hill intersection. Staff worked with UEM over the past few months to arrive at
a design that would seem to be feasible both physically and financially.
During the design period staff and UEM consulted with HOCO Limited and the Clifton
Hill/Victoria/Centre BIA to ensure that the interests of all stakeholders were considered.
A public meeting was held on August 16, 2007 to ensure that any residents in the
surrounding area had an opportunity to review the project and make comments.
Through discussionswith all stakeholders (HOCO, BIA's) itwas made veryevidentthat Fall
construction would be preferred as opposed to Spring construction. City staff in prior
reports had planned on construction being performed in 2008 and, therefore, had not
included this project in the 2007 capital budget.
City staff is in a position to tender and construct the subject improvements should approval
be granted.
Preliminary estimates have been compiled to determine the funding requirements. The
required intersection improvements have been estimated at a cost of $450,000.00. Should
approval of this report be granted construction would be scheduled to commence after
Thanksgiving weekend.

This project was included in the 2006 Capital Budget and was intended to be funded from
debentures. The project was omitted in the 2007 Capital Budget due to uncertainty about
the timing of the project. The source of funding has not changed.
Council's concurrence with the recommendation made would be appreciated.

Request to Open Road Allowance -Young Road (West of Morris Road)
RECOMMENDATION:
That staff be directed to prepare a Development Agreement between the City and Eric
Wiens Construction Ltd. that will set out the terms for the construction of Young Road
(West of Morris Road) to the current municipal standard at the proponent's expense.
BACKGROUND:
Municipal Works staff received a letterdated August 8, 2007 from Eric Wiens Construction
Ltd. requesting permission to extend a municipal roadway within the current unopened
road allowance on Young Road, west of Morris Road in a rural area of the former Crowland
Township (see attached plan).
The proponent owns the properties on both sides of the road allowance but the lands do
not have frontage on an open road thereby precluding the construction of a residential
dwelling on the property.
The current policy requires the proponent to enter into a Development Agreement with the
City to ensure that a proper standard roadway is constructed at the developer's expense.
Once constructed to the City's satisfaction the road will be opened, dedicated as public
highway and formally assumed in the City's road system.

Weightman Bridge Rehabilitation (Portage Road crossing Welland River)
Status Report -Scope of Work and Schedule
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That this report be received for information regarding issues/progress and
investigations to date on the above noted project;
2. That Council approve the scheduling of a Public Information Center for this Fall to
introduce the project to the interested/affected public and stakeholders and to solicit
input on construction staging alternatives.
3. That Council approve the potential delaying of construction of the proposed Bridge
Rehabilitation from 2008 to 2009 based on the reasons contained in this report;
4. That Council authorize the investigation and assessment of alternatives for the
replacement and relocation of the existing watermain crossings on the current
bridge structure based on the rationale as outlined in this report.
5. That this investigation is to follow the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
process for a Schedule "B" project
6. That the Municipal Class EA be undertaken in-house by City staff;
BACKGROUND:
Previous Reports
In the 2004 Municipal Bridge/Culvert Appraisal Study, the Weightman Bridge, (Portage
Road at the Welland River), was found to be in poor condition. The road surface, the
expansion joints and sections of the railings, concrete deck and sidewalks are in poor
condition. Also, the steel girders have areas of medium to severe corrosion.
In June 2005, Council approved the recommendations in Report MW-2005-81, in which
Ellis Engineering Inc. was retained to complete a deck condition survey and pre-design
analysis on the Weightman Bridge. The Bridge Load Capacity Evaluation and
Rehabilitation Analysis Report was completed by Ellis Engineering in January 2006.

September 10, 2007 - 2 - MW-2007-96
From the field and deck condition survey conducted by Ellis Engineering Inc., it was
determined that the reinforced concrete bridge deck and hollow core slabs are generally
in poor condition, with severe wide cracking and areas of severe deterioration throughout
the hollow core slabs. The structural steel girders are generally in good condition with
isolated areas of severe corrosion. The expansion joints are in poor condition with active
leakage and damage along the roadway.
The existing bridge was structurally evaluated. The results indicate that a load limit will
need to be placed on the bridge, if the bridge is not rehabilitated.
Three rehabilitation strategies were investigated:
1. Bridge Deck Replacement
2. Patch, Overlay, Waterproof and Pave
3. Patch, Waterproof and Pave
Based on the load capacity evaluation, rehabilitation analysis and life cycle analysis Ellis
Engineering Inc., a recommended strategy is the "Bridge Deck Replacement" at an
estimated cost of $2,400,000.
Council approved Report MW-2006-13 in February 2006 in which the above noted
information was received and authorization granted to proceed to retain a Consultant to
complete the Engineering design forthe recommended Bridge Rehabilitation. In April 2006
Council approved Report MW-2006-32 recommending that Ellis Engineering Inc. be
retained to completed the engineering design for the contemplated Bridge Rehabilitation.
Proposed Work and Schedule
The proposed Bridge Rehabilitation Works being developed consist of the following:
• Removal and replacement of the reinforced concrete bridge deck
• Removal and replacement of the precast hollow core slab girder center span
• Semi-integral expansion joint conversion at the abutments
• Clean and coat the Structure! Steel girders
• Concrete patch repairs to deteriorated areas on the abutments, piers and wing walls
• Replacement of the bearings
In order to undertake the entire Rehabilitation Project at once, the bridge would need to be
closed, and all crossing traffic detoured for an anticipated construction period of five or six
months. Due to the critical location of the bridge, the amount and type of traffic that utilize
it, and the location of potential detour routes and their impacts, it may be impractical to
close the Bridge during the construction period. As such, the bridge would need to stay
open to two (2) lanes of traffic and one sidewalk at all times. This would necessitate the
completion of the Bridge rehabilitation in two (2) stages to maintain traffic and pedestrian
service across the bridge. This requirement would extend the time frame for construction
to approximately nine to 10 months (4+ months to complete each stage, plus a two to
three-week window between stages for the changeover of utilities and traffic control
devices/barricades). This time frame, togetherwith temperature/weather issues affecting
when certain portion of the works can be completed, would confine the construction
window to beginning in February and completion by the end of October or the beginning
of November.
There are inherent advantages and disadvantages to either construction staging option.
Due to their varied impacts on the local populace and businesses, it is recommended that
September 10, 2007 - 3 - MW-2007-96
interested and potentially affected residents and stakeholders be afforded the opportunity
to provide input into the decision-making process as to which option is implemented. It is
therefore proposed to schedule a Public Information Center in regard to the Weightman
Bridge Rehabilitation Project. Information will be made available for attendees to review
the proposed Rehabilitation works, the options regarding construction staging, and the
anticipated benefits and impacts of each. Municipal Works staff and the Engineering
Consultant would be in attendance to answer questions and record feedback and
commentary. The information received would be taken into consideration when
determining the preferred course of action regarding implementation. If approved, the
Public Information Center would be scheduled for this Fall.
Utility and Approval Issues
Currently, the following utilities are located on the Bridge structure:
• Bell conduits on the east side within the existing sidewalk
• Enbridge Gas pipeline on the west side of the bridge within the existing sidewalk
• Two (2) - 300 mm (12-inch) diameter watermains hanging under the sidewalk (one
on each side).
The scope of rehabilitation work and the location of the existing utilities necessitates that
they will need to be removed and replaced during the bridge construction. These utilities
will need to somehow maintain service across the River during construction. In particular,
the two existing watermains are the only source of potable water for the community of
Chippawa on the south side of the Welland River. Depending on which side of the bridge
deck will be replaced during the first stage of construction, either the Bell or Gas will need
to provide for a temporary service across the bridge along with a temporary watermain.
Additionally, the other utilities (Niagara Falls Hydro, Cogeco Cable, and Niagara
Broadband Network) are requesting to have new crossings implemented as part of the
Bridge deck replacement. Space limitations on the new bridge deck will now become an
issue with the congestion of utility crossings.
In light of the above noted issues, a site meeting was held with representatives of Bell and
Enbridge to discuss the potential of relocating the replacement utilities off the new Bridge
deck by boring new crossings under the Welland River. There are many advantages to
implementing this scheme, but most importantly this work could be done in advance of the
Bridge Rehabilitation providing more flexibility in the construction schedule, as well as
freeing up space on the replacement bridge deck. The comparative costs would be similar
because of the elimination of the need to provide temporary servicing during construction
of the new Bridge deck. Also, from the perspective of the replacement watermains, by
relocating one or both of the crossings off the Bridge it creates additional security for the
supply source to the south side of the Welland River. The location of the replacement
River crossing could be strategically investigated in an attempt to improve the overall water
distribution network operation, service delivery and maintenance efficiency. A map of the
existing watermains in the Chippawa area is attached for reference. It should be noted that
the only other watermain crossing of the Welland River in the area is a 300-mm (12-inch)
diameter watermain on the Stanley Avenue bridge, which extends only a short distance
south of the crossing.
However, a number of impacts to the Bridge Rehabilitation project result from pursuing this
alternative:
• Increased Approval requirements, particularly as it pertains to the Municipal Class
September 10, 2007 - 4 - MW-2007-96
Environmental Assessment Planning and Design Process
• The feasibility of a bored River crossing requires additional investigation due to
possible bedrock conflicts and the cost implications created
• The above two points possibly delaying the construction schedule by up to a full
year and the implications on the structural condition of the existing bridge
The Consultant for this project has confirmed that if the existing watermains are replaced
in the same location as part of the Bridge deck replacement work that the project would fall
under Schedule "A" of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. These
types of projects are Pre-Approved, meaning design and construction can proceed without
any additional work required under this process. If the replacement watermains are
relocated off the Bridge through the implementation of new bored River crossings, this part
of the project would fall under Schedule "B" of the Municipal Class EA process. This
requires various alternatives to proceed through a screening process, and requires
mandatory consultation with Review Agencies and the affected Public. A comprehensive
list of viable options regarding the form and location of the replacement watermain
crossings will be formulated and considered, taking into account input and feedback
received during the screening and consultation process. To complete this process would
require in the order of four to nine months during which time the design of the Bridge
Rehabilitation could onl be minimal) a v
danced. It is therefore hi hl unlike) th t t
Y y a he
g Y Y
current target construction start date in February of 2008 can be achieved.
Additional Investigations
Due to the implications detailed above, staff deemed it prudent to request an opinion from
the Consultant regarding the current structural capacity of the Bridge structure and the
potential impacts, if any, of delaying the Rehabilitation work to 2009. This would require
an underside (via a boat) inspection of the bridge's critical elements namely the precast
concrete center span and the connection and support points onto the steel girders. Also,
some preliminary investigation regarding the existing soil profile of the River underwater
was critical in the determination of the feasibility of any type of bored River crossing.
Borehole Geotechnical information is available from when the bridge was last
reconstructed in 1968 indicating more than sufficient soil overburden above bedrock level
to accommodate a bored crossing. However, there was concern that erosion and possible
dredging in the River due to Hydro diversion of flows in this portion of the River may have
impacted the depth or existence of the soil overburden. It was again deemed prudent that
at the same time an underwater investigation of the current condition of the River and soil
overburden be undertaken. The output from these investigations provides a critical
decision point in the process, as a negative result from either assessment would severely
limit the merit of pursuing this alternative any further.
These investigations took place on June 28, 2007 and a report (attached) was received
from the Consultant on July 12, 2007. In summary, the report findings are that the bridge
construction can be delayed to 2009, and that a thin layer of soil overburden does exist in
the River sections surveyed. The consultant is recommending that ongoing (every six
months) monitoring of the structural condition of the bridge be undertaken, and that further
geotechnical investigation is required to confirm bedrock levels.

EXISTING STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
An inspection and analysis was completed on the existing components of Weightman's
Bridge to determine the capacity of the structure. It was found in the Load Capacity
Evaluation that the existing structure was slightly under the design capacity. At this time
the structure was evaluated to determine if the structure had sufficient capacity to delay
construction to 2009.
A top side inspection of Weightman's Bridge was completed on June 22, 2007 by ELLIS
Engineering Inc. The underside inspection of the structure was completed on June 28,
2007 by ELLIS Engineering lnc. with the assistance of ASI Group Inc. by means of a
boat.
The asphalt roadway over the structure is in poor condition as the riding surface is rough
with cracking throughout. The steel girders are generally in good condition. However,
there are isolated areas of severe corrosion near the joints. The concrete deck soffit
above the steel girders is generally in fair to good condition with cracking and several
light to medium spalls. The soffit of the precast girders is in fair to poor condition with
medium to severe delaminations and spalls at the ends, near the expansion joints. The
exterior precast girders have rotated slightly, so that the external side is lower then the
interior side, appearing to be due to the dead load of the sidewalk and the watermain.
The rotation appears to have stabilized.
An evaluation was completed on the critical parts of the bridge to ensure that they had
sufficient capacity for two years. The shear capacity of the precast concrete girders was
analyzed, as there is loss of cross-sectional area at the supports. It was found from the
drawings that the stirrups were #4 bars spaced at 305mm. However, end section of the
girders that had spatted had #4 reinforcing steel at approximately 102mm spacing. The
shear capacity of the girders was found to be 941kN with the bars spaced at 305mm and
2103kN with the bars spaced at 102mm. The loading used on the girders was one wheel
line of a CL-625-ONT Truck. The reaction at the end of the girder was found to be a
maximum factored load of 339kN for the interior girders and 363kN for the exterior
girders. Therefore the existing concrete girders have sufficient capacity in shear.
An evaluation was also completed on the steelwork connection between the precast
girders and the steel girders. The shear capacity of the bolt connection between the steel
bearing seat and the steel girders was analyzed as it is a critical connection. Twelve
28mm diameter bolts are used to support the bearing seat between two steel girders which
supports approximately 2 '/2 precast girders. The bolted connection was found to have a
resistance of 1,874kN in shear and 3,346kN in tension. The factored loads on the
connection were found to be 722kN in shear and 102kN in tension. Therefore, the bolt
connection has sufficient capacity in shear and tension, and in combined shear and
tension. It was found that for the connection to fail at least seven bolts would have to fail
or all 12 bolts would have to loose 10.9mm of there diameter. Also the shear capacity of
the welds were evaluated and it was found that there was sufficient capacity in the welds
to carry the precast girders and the live load.

ELLIS Engineering Inc. July 11, 2007
We conclude that the rehabilitation work could be delayed to 2009, as we foresee no
structural capacity problems before that time. At this time we recommend patch
repairing the asphalt over the expansion joints and that the structure topside and
underside be inspect every 6 months to monitor for further deterioration.
Underwater Investigation and Sounding Profile
In the Underwater investigation the river bed was found to be very steep on the banks and
lined with large rock between 200mm to 300mm in size. Near the south pier the riverbed
was found to have a 3-4 inches layer of granular/sand on the top of a stiff clay. Near the
north pier there was a very thin layer of granular/sand with areas of exposed stiff clay.
The centre 20 feet (approx.) of the river bed could not be inspected by the diver as the
current was too strong for the diver to safely inspect.
Four profiles of the river bed were taken were completed, using sounding, to determine
the depth of the river bed on the east side of the structure. Profile 1 gives the river bed
elevations just east of the structure. The three other profiles were taken at 10 metre
intervals east of Profile 1. The depth of the water at the centre of the river was 34 feet.
Existing drawings of the structure have borehole information on the approaches only, that
show that bed rock is at an approximate elevation of 526.2 feet. Using the existing
drawings it was determined that the present elevation of the river bed is 526.21 feet.
Theoretically, since no bedrock was observed in the underwater inspection, there is still a
thin layer of overburden on the bedrock. The depth of this layer will have to be
determined by drilling. There is a possibility that the bedrock may be deeper in the
centre of the river.
The following page shows riverbed profiles from the soundings taken. Included on the
profile sheet is the bridge deck soffit, piers, abutments and water level elevations and
approximate bed rock elevation. The datum for the elevations used was taken from the
existing 1966 construction drawings. The elevation for water level was measured from a
known point on the bridge deck to the water surface on June 28, 2007. Depths of the
water were taken from the water surface to give the profile of the river bed.
Existing Borehole Information
Drawing B-65131-B-2 "Boreholes, Bridge over Welland River, Village of Chippawa"
Included in the existing structure drawings gives information from previous borehole
logs. It was noted that the drawing contains two different borehole investigations. We
believe the original boreholes were complete before the Truss bridge was removed. At
this time the bridge span was only 82 feet and the boreholes labelled "Hole #1, Hole#2,
Hole #3 and Hole#4" were drilled. The information shows that the bed rock elevation at
the existing South abutment is at 525.6 feet and 526.4 feet at the existing North abutment.
The river is believed to have been widened by approximately 238 feet when the existing
piers were constructed. We believe that the second set of boreholes were completed
before the rehabilitation of the existing bridge. At this time 5 bore holes were drilled and
labelled "B.H.#3, B.H.#4, B.H.#5, B.H.#6, B.H.#7". B.H. #4 was drilled to refusal which
was at an elevation of 525.2 feet on the south abutment.

City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
Members:
Re: R-2007-14 -Naming & Renaming Parks Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
That the revisions to the Naming & Renaming Parks Policy (1000.32) be approved.
BACKGROUND:
The policy for naming parks and facilities was created in 1982, and updated in 1995.
Given a number of recent requests received for the naming, as well as renaming of parks,
coupled with the fact that the Civic Committee is no longer in existence, a review of the
policy was completed.
Staff also researched the policies of several other municipalities (including the models or
committee structures for evaluating requests and the administration of requests) in order
to develop an updated policy (attached) which would be more comprehensive.
The recommended policy includes that the Park In the City Committee serve as the
committee responsible for this evaluation. The policy also has placed a greater focus on
the process of evaluation whereby community issues are central to the review particularly
with a request to rename a park.

POLICY
Purpose•
The purpose of this policy is to outline a procedure for the commemorative naming or renaming of
parks/open spaces, and component features as part of the acquisition and/or management of these
spaces by the City of Niagara Falls.
Commemorative Naming refers to the naming of a property in honour of outstanding achievement,
distinctive service, or significant community contribution, generally without financial consideration.
Objective:
1. To provide a consistent process for the City of Niagara Falls to recognize significant Local
events, people and geographic features through the naming of parks/open spaces, and
features;
2. To provide the guidelines by which names will be chosen for new City parks/open spaces,
and features, and by which these features will be renamed, if necessary;
3. To include community involvement in the naming/renaming, and dedication ofparks/open
spaces, and features through a clearly defined process.
Definition of Terms
The following terms are provided for greater clarity.
Component Feature -means all substantial structures or recreational aspects of a park which
includes, but is not limited to, such things as sport fields, ball diamonds, hard surface courts, tennis
courts, lawn bowling greens, bocce courts, gardens, playgrounds, washrooms and skateboard park
facilities, etc.
Commemorative Naming -naming rights granted to honour outstanding achievement, distinctive
service, or significant community contribution. Commemorative naming will not be tied to a
financial contribution.
Individual and Community Organization Commemorative Naming -naming rights granted to
an individual, group of individuals, family foundation, or anon-profit community organization in
recognition of significant philanthropy.
Page 2 of 7
Open Space -includes, but is not limited to, trails, pathway systems, utility features such as storm-
watermanagement ponds, and other like structure under the jurisdiction of the City of Niagara Falls.
Parkland- means all parkland designations including, but not limited to, dedicated parkland, city-
wide parks, community parks, neighbourhood parks, parkettes, open space, etc. owned by and/or
under the jurisdiction of the City of Niagara Falls.
Significant Financial Gifts means a monetary donation reflective of the total capital cost or
appraised value of the amenity being considered for naming.
Criteria•
1.0 Commemorative Name Designation Associated with Functional Use, Geographic Location
or Historical Significance.
1.1 Staff may assign a name based on the adjacent street, functional use, geographic feature,
community name or historic significance. Examples include:
Alpine Park -adjacent to Alpine Drive
Lundy's Lane Battlefield -Historical Significance
1.2. Chosen names within this designation shall be assigned by Staff and may remain unchanged
until a formal request for a name change has been approved by Council.
1.3 The chosen name shall not conflict with similar names, in whole or in part. For example, if
a park is named Oakes Park, no other similar name shall be used, such as Red Oak Park.
1.4 Generall chosen names shall reflect the adjacent street name. For exam le Ontario Park -
Y~ J p
majority of street frontage on Ontario Avenue. This is to ensure continuity and minimize
conflicts for emergency services.
2.0 Commemorative Name Designation Associated in Honour of Individuals or Groups.
2.1 This section applies to any request to:
a) naming
b) renaming
a park/open space, or component feature in honour of individuals or groups.
2.2 Council shall approve all names in honour of individuals or groups. All requests for naming,
designating or renaming in honour of individuals or groups shall be submitted in writing,
with supporting explanation and/or justification to the Chair of the Park in the City
Committee, care of the Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture. Staff will forward a report
with the Committee's recommendations to Council for consideration.
Pa e 3 of 7
g
2.3. Names for c hall e th se o distin ui he
onsideration s b o f g s d persons, organizations, corporations,
foundations or families:
a) where there has been significant contribution to the quality of life, well being
of the City of Niagara Falls; or
b) where the person/group is perceived as a role model and open to close
scrutiny relative to their character, integrity and values; or
c) demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of the
City of Niagara Falls; or
d) to memorialize or otherwise recognize substantial gifts and significant
donors, individuals designated by donors, or individuals who have made
exemplary or meritorious contributions to the City of Niagara Falls; or,
e) where there is a strong historical or cultural connection to the City and has a
major contribution to the historical or cultural preservation of the City; or,
f) where there is a strong contribution toward environmental preservation,
conservation or enhancement of the City; or,
g) where there is a major contribution made to the acquisition, development or
conveyance of land or building in question and/or its subsequent
development; or
f) where there is a direct relationship or association that exists between the
place or former place of residence of the person or group and the facility/park
to be named.
2.4 Naming in honour of elected or appointed public officials, City officials, or Staff shall
normally occur only after the public service or City employment has concluded.
2.5 Not withstanding the above, Council, by resolution, may approve a name or name change in
honour of individuals or groups when circumstances justify such an action. Council may also
remove the original name designation when circumstances justify such action.
3.0 Commemorative Names of Provincial, National or International Significance
3.1 Council may approve a name or name change in honour of individuals or groups who have
made an outstanding contribution provincially, nationally, or internationally.
3.2 In such instances, and prior to approving the use of any name of individuals or group, Staff
shall investigate anyprotocoland/or requirements of anyprovincial, national or international
agency or organization.
4.0 Names Derived from Significant Financial Contributions
4.1 In selected instances where a naming request has been proposed as a result of receiving a
unique and extraordinary financial, or other significant contribution, towards the acquisition,
creation or redevelopment of a property or park consideration will be given to the
sponsorship contribution being provided. The merits and value of each such naming will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis. It should not be assumed that a financial contribution
guarantees that a park is named after the service club/business/individuaUorganization.
Page 4 of 7
5.0 Renaming Existing Parks
5.1 Renaming of parks and open spaces carries with it a much greater burden of process
compared to initial naming. Tradition and continuity of name and community identification
are important community values. Each application must meet the criteria in this policy, but
meeting all criteria does not automatically ensure renaming.
5.2 Critical examination will be conducted to insure that renaming the park will not diminish the
original justification for the name or the prior contributors. Renaming will follow the same
procedures as naming apark/open space, or component feature:
a) Onlyparks and facilities named for geographic location, outstanding feature
or subdivision should be considered for renaming. Parks that have been
named by deed restriction shall not be considered for renaming.
b) Parks and facilities named after individuals shall not be changed unless it is
found that because of the individual's character the continued use of their
n
ame would not be m the best interest of the community.
5.3 Existing names will not be changed without the consideration of:
a) the historical significance of the existing name
b) the impact on the individual or organization associated with the existing
name
c) the cost and impact of changing existing signage, rebuilding community
recognition and updating records (data bases, maps, promotional materials,
etc.).
5.4 Only nominations having a direct relevance to the park/open space, or a component feature
within the space in question will be considered for renaming.
5.5 Renaming of a park/open space, or component feature may occur i£
a) the policy criteria are met; and
b) a valid justification for renaming the facility is provided; and
c) changing the name will not cause undue confusion within the community;
and
d) an appropriate level of community support exists.
6.0 Inventory of Names
6.1 Parks, Recreation & Culture shall be responsible for maintaining an inventory of names
for parks/open spaces, and component features.
6.2 Proposals for names that will not be given consideration or counted as part of the
inventory include:
a) names that cause confusion for the public or emergency services due to
duplication with an existing name
b) names that duplicate a school or facility name that is not directly adjacent
to the area to be named
Page 5 of 7
c) names that are meaningful only to a few members of the community
d) the proposal suggests a name after a specific builder or developer
e) the proposed name advertises a product or private company.
7.0 Signage
7.1 The City will be responsible for coordinating the public presentation of Signage to
acknowledge the naming/renaming designation. Costs associated with naming/renaming
of a park/open space, or component feature as outlined in this policy, will be assumed by
the City of Niagara Falls.
7.2 The City will have final approval for the selection and location of any Signage, including
Signage text and design.
7.3 The addition of flowers, plant material, other signage and/or ornaments/memorials near
the sign, by the public, is prohibited.
7.4 The City will bear the responsibility of ongoing maintenance for the Signage.
Procedures:
1. Any individual or group wishing to submit a request for naming/renaming any park/open
space, or component feature must provide a written proposal to the Park in the City
Committee, care of the Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture and should include at least
the following minimum information:
i) name of the applicant; and
ii) identification of the parks/open spaces or park features to be
named/renamed; and
iii) proposed name; and
iv) background information describing the accomplishments and/or
legitimacy of the name designation; and
Proposals are encouraged to include letters of endorsement supporting the application.
2. When there is a local neighbourhood association or community group associated with the
area in which the park/open space, or component feature in question is to be named, Parks,
Recreation & Culture will circulate the proposal to those parties.
3. When possible, if a request to name/rename is directly associated with, or is on land that has
been donated to the City, the original donor or family will be advised.
4. When a naming/renaming request is submitted, Staff shall conduct a historical review of the
current name prior to recommending approval.
5. When anaming/renaming request is submitted, staff will ensure that the nominee being
honoured is in agreement with the naming proposal (if they are living), or by their legal
representative should they be deceased.
Page 6 of 7
6. Naming/renaming requests will also be appear on the City's website allowing for thirty
calendar days for written comments from the public to the Park in the City Committee.
7. Parks, Recreation & Culture will convene a meeting of the Park in the City Committee, as
appropriate, to review the request. Staff will consult and request comments from all other
divisions that have jurisdiction relative to the amenity in question. Staff will forward the
recommendation(s) of the Park in the City Committee via a report to Council.
8. When a request proposes the naming/renaming of a park/open space, or component feature
after an individual or group, the report shall be dealt with in-camera, similar to a personnel
matter. This will ensure the integrity of the process and avoid any potential embarrassment.
9. Parks, Recreation & Culture will notify the applicant of Council's decision.

These policies and procedures apply to the naming or renaming of:
• municipal parks
• municipal recreation facilities
The following guidelines shall apply:
1. All names suggested for consideration must be submitted on a standard Nomination Form for
Naming or Renaming of a Park or a Recreation Facility (attach), outlining in detail the information
necessary to support the designation, including the reasons for submission. Forms are available
from the Clerk's Department.
2. All Names nominated for designation should fit into one of the following categories:
a) A local individual who has made a significant contribution to the well being of the City,
Region, Province or Country.
b) A geographic location which best describes the area in which the park is located, or a name
which describes the topographic, ecological, or unique characteristics of the site.
Preference for naming neighbourhood parks will be given to the street on which the park
fronts.
c) A name that addresses the historical significance of the immediate area in terms of famous
pioneers, settlements and/or events.
3. The Clerk's Department will provide completed nomination forms to City Council, with a
recommendation to refer the request to the Civic Committee. The Civic Committee will review
the nomination and forward a recommendation report regarding the request to City Council. If
deemed appropriate, the Civic Committee may request that a survey of area residents surrounding
the subject park or facility be undertaken regarding the proposed name or renaming.
4. If the suggested name is that of a living or recently deceased individual, the report shall be dealt
with in-camera, similar to a personnel matter. This will ensure the integrity of the process and
avoid any potential embarrassment.
5. Any names nominated but not immediately recognized will be kept on record in the Clerk's
Department for consideration for future designation.
In the case of a request to rename an existing named park or facility, only nominations having a direct
relevance to the park or facility in question should be considered. Due to the costs involved in changing
park and facility signage, the merits of any renaming must be carefully considered.
