OP2024-08
Moved ByCouncillor Fortin
Seconded ByCouncillor Leduc
WHEREAS Council resolution CC2022-96-A1 included supplemental road work rehabilitation across the City of Greater Sudbury, including Montée Principale and sections of Municipal Road (MR) 15;

AND WHEREAS the approved four-year capital budget identifies capital work in the sum of $5,066,000 to be completed in 2027 on Montee Principale;

AND WHEREAS the current condition of Montee Principale from MR15 to MR35 (3.5 km) is in terrible condition, such that it is of a great concern and a high priority for rehabilitation to the community;

AND WHEREAS Montée Principale is also the primary access road to the Casino, and its present condition gives a negative image to all those who visit the community;

AND WHEREAS the improvements to Montée Principale identified in the 2022 Supplemental Road Rehabilitation Program, as updated to Council on June 27, 2022, only provided temporary relief to approximately 400 m of the 3.5 km required;

AND WHEREAS this motion does not request any additional funding, or amendment to the scope of the project;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Greater Sudbury direct staff to review road work for MR15 and Montée Principale to ensure that Montée Principale is completed in advance of MR15, as identified in the 4-year capital outlook budget approved by City Council during the budget deliberations in December of 2023;

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff provide an updated capital outlook as part of the budget update.
