Report or Streets Committee. Sidewalks. The total number of square feet of
sidewalk laid this_year amounts to 5232 feet, partly new and partly relaid
sidewalks. The Streets of the Town on which sidewalks were laid and the
reasons therefo;r are as :follows;-
1. 1775 feet on the West side of Yonge Street South from Tyler Street a
distance of 355 feet with a width of 5 feet wa.s laid by the Aurora Building
Company. This project has been on the agenda of the Committee. as needing
repairs for the past five years. A shortage of Town labor at the time the
work was needed necessitated obtai:r:J.ing a contract which was favorable to the
Town, and this was approved unanimously in Council.
2 •. ~6~2 sq.feet waa laid on Wellington Street on the North side East from
Yonge Street, b.y the Town Employees. Th!l last sidewall!: on this bus'9 Street
was laid in 1903, and the dangerous condition or the sidewalk necessitated
this work being done to protect our public liabiluty rating.
3. 417 sy.feet of sidewalk was laid atvthe Bank of Montreal Corner,which
had been heaved up by the weather and was in a dangerous condition. Of this
amount 125 sy.feet was paid for by the Bank of Montre~ for work done on ,
their property. I
4. 228 soc feet was laid at the Corner of Mosley and Yonge adjacent to the j'
Town Ha,ll. . · ·
5. 507 sy.feet was laid at the South-East corner of Yonge & Mosley c_n Yonge St:Pe
Street. Of this amount 147 sy.feet was paid for by Cousins Dairy for work done
on their property. There had been s_everal falls sustained by .Ci11izens there in ·
recent years owing to the condition of the sidewalk.
6. 142 Sll[ofeet was laid on the East side of Yonge above Church St~reet. This
strip of walk was in a particularly dangerous condition.
7. 118 sq.feet was laid at the United Church Corner.
s. 518 sq.feet of new walk was 1~1d on Connaught Avenue. This was approved
by Council before the work was done. _
9 • This work was all considered by Council at the time of the inspection of
the Twwn along with several other portions in Town. There is considerable
sidewalk to be repaired in Town yet which has be€m considered¥mbut owing to the :t:6li
fact the Department's Budget lfOUld not warrant. further expen tures this year
along with the lateness of the year, no further work is contmplated.It has
been founf necessary to make many smaller repairs which-are 'included in the
general total of 5232 .feet. Signed C.A.Ma11oy, R.Linton.
