SUMMARY:Public Information Centre: County Road 49 Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:The major structural rehabilitation of County Road 49 reached another milestone with the award of the construction tender to R.W. Tomlinson Ltd. \n“For years\, Councils of the day have heard from residents\, businesses\, and visitors about the dire need to fix one of the worst roads in Ontario. Now\, we are getting it done\, and I couldn’t be happier\,” Mayor Steve Ferugson says. \nThe municipality is proceeding with the Council-approved preferred rehabilitation option of rubblizing the existing concrete pavement and placing a new asphalt overlay. Rubblizing is a construction technique that fractures old\, deteriorated concrete pavement into small\, interlocking pieces to serve as a strong\, flexible base for the new roadway. \nWork is tentatively scheduled to begin during the 2026 construction season. A minimum of one lane of traffic\, operating under alternating directions\, will be maintained at all times throughout construction. During this construction season\, the contractor anticipates completing the following work: \n\nRubblizing County Road 49 between County Road 15 (Northport Road) and Civic Address 684 County Road 49.\nPlacement of granular material followed by the first and second overlay of asphalt\nSubdrain installation\nCulvert replacements\nBox culvert waterproofing\n\nA more detailed construction schedule is currently under development. Substantial completion date for this project is November 1\, 2028. \n A public information centre (PIC) will take place on Wednesday\, June 10 at 5 pm at the Prince Edward Community Centre (375 Picton Main Street).  \nThe municipality will provide updates to the public throughout the project. Click here to sign up for the email notices. \nLearn more about the project on the County website. \nCounty Road 49 serves as a transportation route for the municipality’s tourism\, hospitality\, and employment sectors. The road experiences average daily traffic volumes of approximately 6\,000 vehicles\, with peak traffic occurring during morning and evening rush hours. This includes commercial and industrial traffic\, with heavy trucks accounting for about 5 per cent of the total traffic. \nOpened in 1966\, County Road 49 spans 18.4 kilometres\, of which 17.3 kilometres is concrete pavement. The road connects Picton\, the municipality’s largest settlement area\, with the Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge\, one of the largest entry-points into the municipality from Highway 401. The Province of Ontario downloaded the roadway to the County in 1998. County Road 49 has reached the end of its natural lifespan. It consistently ranks as one of the worst roads in Ontario by CAA. \nFor more information\, contact the County of Prince Edward at 613.476.2148 extension 1023\, 613.962.9108 extension 1023\, or info@pecounty.on.ca.

SUMMARY:Public Information Centre: York Street Project
DESCRIPTION:The County of Prince Edward will share more information about the York Street reconstruction project including the detailed schedule at a Public Information Centre on Thursday\, October 16. \nThe information centre will take place from 5 – 7 pm inside the Rotary Hall at the Prince Edward Community Centre (375 Picton Main Street). \nIf you are unable to attend the meeting in person\, the information will be posted on the County website the next day. \nThe municipality is tackling this project on York Street in Picton to ensure nearly 400 residential and commercial properties continue to have reliable sanitary sewer service. This project is a high priority because of the deteriorating condition of a large trunk sanitary sewer that runs underneath York Street. \nCounty Council awarded the tender in the amount of $855\,941 plus HST for the project on September 23 to Cobourg Development Services Ltd. Council approved the project in the 2024 capital budget. \nIn addition to replacing the existing sanitary sewer\, the project includes replacing the watermain\, installing a new asphalt roadway and sidewalk\, and adding a curb and storm sewer to accommodate the curb. \nReconstruction work on York Street will take place between Picton Main Street and Mary Street this fall and next spring — no work will take place during the winter months. Because of long-standing issues with soil stability in the area and to avoid damaging adjacent buildings\, the design team considered unique ways to replace the pipe without digging a trench. \nTo accommodate the most viable replacement method\, the municipality will have to close the eastbound lane of Picton Main Street for several weeks in the late fall this year. Temporary traffic signals will ensure one lane of traffic always remains open. Signage will direct drivers to an alternate route around the construction using Walton Street\, King Street\, and Paul Street. \nIf you have questions about this project\, please contact Jeff Shortt\, Project Manager\, at 613.476.2148 extension 1007 or email jshortt@pecounty.on.ca.

SUMMARY:Climate Action Plan: Public Consultation
DESCRIPTION:The County of Prince Edward is taking action on climate change as a participant in the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program. The input and feedback from the public is crucial as the municipality and the community work toward creating a Climate Action Plan for both mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change at both the municipal and community level. \nBackground\nCounty Council declared a climate emergency in 2019. In 2021\, the municipality took another step in implementing effective measures to mitigate climate change when it became an active member of the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program. \nThe PCP program is a national network of more than 400 municipalities with the shared goal of taking action against climate change and reducing local greenhouse gas emissions. As a member of the PCP program\, the municipality is committed to meeting five milestones over the next 10 years: \n\nMilestone 1: Creating a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and forecast\nMilestone 2: Setting emission reduction targets\nMilestone 3: Developing a Local Action Plan\nMilestone 4: Implementing the Local Action Plan\nMilestone 5: Monitoring and evaluating progress\n\nThese steps are followed by the corporation and by the community in a collaborative approach to developing a plan to address climate change. Municipal staff are leading the portion of the action plan aimed at reducing the GHG emissions within the local government’s direct control or influence. The Climate Action Plan Working Group is responsible for quantifying the GHG emissions generated within the community as a whole. \nAt each of the consultation events\, participants are invited to: \n\nLearn more about the work being done by County staff and the Climate Action Plan Working Group\nExplore the initial GHG findings\nPut forward their views on proposed actions as well as their own suggested remedies. All viewpoints will be taken into account as we develop the way forward for the County.\n\nLearn More: https://haveyoursay.thecounty.ca/climate-action-plan

SUMMARY:Public Information Meeting: Queen Elizabeth School redevelopment
DESCRIPTION:The County of Prince Edward will host a public information meeting on Wednesday\, September 25 for the Queen Elizabeth School redevelopment. \nThe meeting will take place at the Rotary Hall inside the Prince Edward Community Centre (375 Picton Main Street) from 6-8 pm. \nThe goal of the meeting is to present the history and plans for the redevelopment and to give the public the opportunity to better understand and provide input to the re-development project. \nAt the meeting\, municipal staff will give a brief presentation before seeking neighbourhood resident input toward best use of the site at Barker and Centre Streets\, inviting a conversation on an integrated affordable housing model. \nFollowing the public meeting\, staff will consolidate the comments and feedback and provide them to the prospective partners for use as they refine their proposals. Council has directed staff to provide a final recommendation on entering into an agreement with a private sector or non-profit partner in November of 2024. \nQuestions can be sent in advance to Elis Ziegler\, Affordable Housing Supervisor at eziegler@pecounty.on.ca or by calling 613.476.2148 extension 1529. \nBackground on redevelopment project  \nHastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) declared the school surplus to its needs in 2018. After a federal grant was denied in 2023 to re-develop the site for affordable housing and a community hub\, the municipality decided to purchase the 1.8-hectare property\, located at 35 Barker Street in Picton\, from the school board. \nThe objectives of the redevelopment project are to come closest to the original community vision for the site including: \n\nProviding as many affordable housing units as possible\, with affordability as defined in the County’s Municipal Housing Project Facilities By-Law\nCreating a community hub\, similar to the original vision\, for local organizations\nAllowing the municipality to recoup its investment in the property (approximately $1.5 million) within the 2024 calendar year\nBeing positioned to move forward with the redevelopment as quickly as possible\n\n  \nAn expression of interest (EOI) to the community was launched in the summer 2024 to move the vision to reality. The County of Prince Edward has received five EOIs from parties that wish to partner with the municipality to implement County Council’s vision. \nIf you have questions or require further information\, please contact Adam Goheen\, Director of Housing\, at 613.476.2148 extension 2509 or email agoheen@pecounty.on.ca.
