"$56"-*5 4r/&84 ST-PASCAL, ST-JEAN TO BECOME C-R ROADS, BASELINE TRANSFERRED TO UCPR
JOSEPH COPPOLINO joseph.coppolino@eap.on.ca
A significant portion of Baseline Road will be transferred to the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) in exchange for placing sections of St-Jean Street and St-Pascal Road under the authority of Clarence-Rockland. As Clarence-Rockland’s housing develop- ments continue to expand south of Morris Village, the city and the UCPR have long been in discussions to transfer the management of St-Jean Street to Clarence-Rockland, however, a formal agreement was never met. 8JUIBQQSPYJNBUFMZ VOJUTFYQFD ted to be developed in the area, Clarence- Rockland is undertaking significant roadway improvements along St-Jean Street to accom- NPEBUFJODSFBTFEUSBGàD*O UIFDJUZ informed the UCPR that Clarence-Rockland would manage and fund the infrastructure updates through development charges. Development on the surrounding property along St-Jean “will greatly change the entire purpose of the roadway,” and is “losing its County Road Designation,” explains the UCPR report presented to council. “St-Jean used to be in the middle of woods, but now it will be in the middle of the city,” said Mayor Mario Zanth. “So, it’s a really important exchange.” After reviving discussions with the city, during their October 25 meeting, the UCPR council approved an agreement to transfer the section of St-Jean Street from Laurier Street to Baseline Road, and St-Pascal Road from Du Lac Road to its end east of St- Pascal-Baylon. In exchange, the UCPR will take over managing Baseline Road from Canaan Road to Joanisse Road, and from St-Jean Street to Landry Street to the east. The sections of Baseline Road being transferred to the UCPR were considered because it is the only Clarence-Rockland “road candidate to become a collector road and easily arguable to meet the criteria of a county road,” according to the report pres- ented to council. As development pushes further south of Rockland, Baseline Road is expected to become a major east-west rural collector and will likely become the new &NFSHFODZ%FUPVS3PVUF &%3 GPS$PVOUZ Road 17. St-Pascal Road, which ends in a dead-end, had minimal traffic and does not meet the criteria of a county road, according to the UCPR. “I think it is a good move,” said Councillor André J. Lalonde. “St-Jean Street is important
Le Conseil municipal de Clarence-Rockland et les Comtés unis de Prescott-Russell (CUPR) ont convenu d’échanger des sections du chemin Baseline contre la rue St-Jean afin de permettre à la ville de mieux gérer l’infrastructure au sud du village de Morris à mesure que les développements prennent de l’ampleur dans le secteur. On estime que l’échange coûtera à la ville environ 1,4 million de dollars, qui seront remboursés en réduisant la subvention routière des CUPR pour les trois années précédant 2027, afin de réduire le fardeau de la dette de la ville. - carte présentée au conseil dans le rapport des CUPR.
