AGENDA DATE: SUBJECT:

October 9, 2018

Financial Sustainability of South Frontenac’s Road Network

BACKGROUND: The Township of South Frontenac is located within the County of Frontenac immediately north of the separated City of Kingston. The Township is responsible for all local roads, the former County of Frontenac roads and the former Provincial Highway 38. This network as depicted on the Province’s Official Road Map, needs to be seamless across the municipalities within the Kingston/Frontenac region as well as with adjoining Counties. Recognizing that achieving financial sustainability of our entire collective infrastructure seems daunting, South Frontenac has taken steps towards this end but many challenges and opportunities remain. ANALYSIS: The Township of South Frontenac was created by the Ontario government as part of the amalgamation process. The Township covers 941 square kilometers with over 800 center line kilometer of public roads to maintain. Our permanent population is around 18,650 with an additional 12,000 seasonal, and our tax base is almost exclusively residential. South Frontenac supports a strong multi modal transportation network. We believe in the importance of paved shoulders on our arterial roads for cycling in addition to connecting people to the K&P & Cataraqui Trails. South Frontenac is positioned in the middle of the Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal triangle and the routes through the Township are vital to the economy of the area. We recognize the importance of the linkage between the Highway 7 and 401 corridors. Road 38 and 10 (former Provincial Highway 38 and County Road 10) are vital links between the two. In addition, Roads 11 & 12 are designated as an emergency detour route (EDR) for the 401. The Township has demonstrated that this broad road network can be managed efficiently at the local municipal level. We accept that there are continuing opportunities for: a more unified approach across municipal boundaries for more consistent standards, future development (widening/passing lanes) and harmonized levels of service. Over the long term the demands of maintaining both a downloaded Provincial Highway and an EDR that accommodates 401 traffic exceed our financial ability. With an appropriate level of Provincial support, with particular emphasis on Road 38 and the EDR, South Frontenac can continue to partner and take a lead in strengthening a Regional Transportation Network. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: Since 2012 Council has been setting funds aside in an Asset Investment Reserve (AIR) fund. This is an annual 1% compounding budget increase that will help to address our infrastructure deficiency. (See attached Capital forecast).

Our strength is our community.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

An updated Asset Management Plan (AMP) was prepared in December of 2016. Within this AMP segments of both Road 38 and Sunbury Road have been identified as needing repair now. They are no longer meeting the minimum Overall Condition Index (OCI) in our Asset Management Software. The amount of this need is approximately $9 million of which $1.5 million is required for Sunbury Road and $7.5 million is required for Road 38. Additional demands in the next 5 to 10 years amount to a further $18 million dollars. In an attempt to offset this deficit the Municipality has committed to tackling the Sunbury EDR within the Village of Sunbury. An amount of $2 Million dollars has been proposed in the 2019 Capital Budget. An OCIF Top Up application has been submitted (copy attached) ATTACHMENTS:   

Where an outcome/bene?t is selected, provide a description of how the project achieves the outcome/benefit. Select all that apply. Benefit J

Addresses an urgent public health and/or safety issue(s)?

Reduces the probability of asset failure and/or service interruptions?

Achieves service levels or key performance indicators established by in the asset management plan?

Reduces lifecycle costs?

Promotes safe active transportation (e.g., cycling, walking, etc.) and/or transit-supportive policies?

Supports climate change adaptation (i.e., resilient infrastructure) and/or mitigation (i.e., reduced greenhouse gas emissions)?

Supports enhanced environmental protection?

Details

Creation of barrier free facilities for Cyclists and Pedestrians, Controlled commercial entrances onto roadway that reduce con?ict between vehicles and pedestrians/cyclists. Reduction of potential for ?ooding private homes from uncontrolled storm water. Reduction of hazards of Blind Corners. Road segment at end of service life and a priority based on Levels of Service as indicated in Asset Management Plan. Storm sewers only partially serve village, provide no quality or quantity control, and are at end of life cycle. Remainder of Storm water uncontrolled and ends up on private properties. This project will greatly reduce these issues and have a positive impact on our desired network level of service for both roads and storm sewers. Condition of road in Asset Management Plan not meeting desired level of service based on Road Classi?cation. Storm Sewers at end of life and in Poor condition. Replacement of assets will bring assets back to Good condition. Replacement will renew assets and greatly reduce lifecycle costs. Negative impacts to road serface from uncontrolled water will be redirected to storm sewers and reduce base defects that are currently reducing life expectancy. installation of cycling facilities and sidewalks will provide barrier free and safe means for active transportation.

Designing storm sewers to new event standards will reduce uncontrolled overland flow and minimize impacts on Private Residential Properties. Reduction of green house gas emissions will be evident by providing a smooth driving surface with no physical defects. Controlled Flows will minimize impacts downstream to Environmentally Sensitive areas. Storm water sewers will be designed to provide adequate quality and quantity control before being released into natural environment.

3.2 Project Description Provide a technical description of the proposed project. This includes outlining the scope of the project and a full description of all of the infrastructure work to be undertaken. Do not include any outcomes/benefits of the project in the description as this was covered in 3.1. (maximum characters 2000)

The proposed project is to upgrade the existing structure to suitable lifts of Hot-Mix Asphalt including curb and gutter, sidewalk, and bicycle patch in the urban section and fully paved shoulder in rural area to accommodate 0051 E (2018/D4)

Page 8 of 11 the heavy EDR loading and multi-modal requirements. An Engineering ?rm has already been engaged to undertake the following: Geotechnical investigation and have a recommended asphalt structural design completed that will withstand the additonal loading from EDR.

3.3 Alternative Options What alternative options were considered for this project? (Maximum 2000 characters)

Considered alternatives include replacing like with like (Low Class Bituminous with the same). While this is a lower cost alternative initially it does not rectify the issues created from the EDR traffic or the lack of Multi-Modal transportation. Not Incorporating sidewalks and bicycle paths within the hamlet of Sunbury on Sunbury Road and maintaining a rural cross section was considered. Maintaining this cross section would not deal with speed issues and would not provide as safe of a facility multi-modal traffic in an smaller right of way. 3.4 Estimated

There is an evident deficiency to Sunbury Road at the east limit of the hamlet that will be rectified as part of this project. There is also a deficiency at the intersection of Sunbury Road and Battersea Road in terms of slghtlines into the built up area. Shoulder or lane width (e.g., de?cient cross—section with respect to speed and AADT)

There is an evident de?ciency in terms of turning lane from Battersea Road North onto Sunbury Road. As this is an active EDR a proper turning facility is required to accommodate the enhanced ADT when activated. Intersections (e.g., operating at capacity or de?cient intersection sight distance etc.)

There is a need for turning Lanes at the intersection of Battersea and Sunbury Road to provide a proper turning facility for traf?c as well as a widened platform for larger trucks Pavement condition (e.g., de?cient pavement in terms of Pavement Condition Index (PCl))

The sections of road identified in the project are considered failed in our Asset Management Plan due to their low OCI Rating and are beyond their useful life as per Appendix D1. Drainage (e.g., failing small structural culvert (up to 3m) span) Note: For large culvert/bridges, see Schedule D Municipal Structure Inspection Form is required —
