Investing in Our Future The City has a 10-year capital plan to ensure that we will have the infrastructure necessary for the future of the city. Additionally, to plan for the upkeep of our infrastructure, we use sound asset management principles that allow us to make better decisions related to maintenance, renewal and replacement activities. In 2014, we invested in a number of growth projects and projects to renew or replace our infrastructure, including:
9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
Highway 407 related local road works 289 metres of new sidewalk 6.85 kilometres of local road rehabilitation/reconstruction Upgrades to parks and trails 2 new neighbourhood parks: Springridge Park and Kettering Park Watercourse improvement projects 18 kilometres of new cycling lanes/routes 2 major bridge projects to improve access for cyclists, motorists and pedestrians: John Street Bridge and Conlin Road West Bridge
9 1 new modern roundabout – Oshawa’s first – at the intersection of Thornton Road North and Conlin Road West
Easing gridlock As construction of the Highway 407 East Extension progressed in 2014, the provincial government and the City negotiated a deal where the province will fund approximately $1.5 million for three Highway 407 local road projects. Once complete, the road work will improve safety and help ease gridlock from increased traffic on local roads when the 407 extension to Harmony Road North is complete and opens. By the end of 2015, Phase 1 of the project will be open to traffic. Phase 1 includes the extension of Highway 407 from Brock Road in Pickering to Harmony Road in Oshawa (22 kilometres). Once complete, Highway 407 East will help relieve congestion and support the efficient movement of people and goods through the eastern Greater Toronto Area and beyond. It will create opportunities for business, accommodate population and employment growth, and provide emergency routes for Durham Region.
