Blyth Council looks at Morris St. rebuilding Blyth Village Councillors still don’t know if and when they’ll rebuild Morris St., the main traffic artery on the east side of the village, but they learned Wednes day night that the project will be very expensive. Bruce Potter of B. M. Ross and Associates told council the estimate for rebuilding of streets is $330 per metre to dig out the old street, fill it with good gravel, put in some base drainage to prevent water build up and the heaving that results, put in curbs and gutters and put on a base coat of asphalt paving. Mr. Potter recommended that in an urban area the village shouldn’t try to scimp by not using curb and gutter construction. “It looks like a lot of money but experience shows it’s the right way to go,” he said. The problem with a major project like the five-block Morris St. is the amount of money made available in subsidy from the Ministry of Trans portation (MTO) is so small that it makes tackling the project in a realistic way very difficult. Blyth receives $16,800 in matching MTO money meaning it had $33,000 a year to spend on new street construction. It means if the village went with only subsidized funds it could build less than 100 metres a year. It would mean it would take practically two years to finish the long southern-most block on the street alone. The council can apply for extra funding for major projects, Mr. Potter said. “I think there’s a real good opportunity to go for extra supplementary funding every cou ple of years,” he said suggesting council point out to the MTO engineer that the current funding isn’t enough to build anything. If the council can show the engineer a dedicated plan for road improve ments over the next few years it will have extra weight, he said. He said he had no idea what the policy of the new NDP government might be towards road building. The Liberal government had been freeing up a lot more money for transportation services than in years past. If the NDP holds the same level of funding municipali ties may be able to do more road building, he said. He suggested council might want to look at having the engineering for the entire street done at once, then do the work as it can be afforded. “It costs as much money to design a short piece of street as a longer one,” he said. Council has not made any deci sion on what to do with the street in the long run. In the short-run it will be digging out some of the spots that have broken up the most, putting in fresh gravel, then patch ing the pavement.
