WHEREAS the Municipal Boundary Extension Criteria as published in September 2002 by the then Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and Womens Services does not adequately provide for provincial cost sharing in non-controlled access highway roads that become a local government maintenance and replacement responsibility as a result of a boundary extension: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Municipal Boundary Extension Criteria be amended so that the Province provides funds to cover 50 of the cost to upgrade the roadway to the local government standard, except for a controlled access highway, included in a municipal boundary extension.
Ministry of Community Rural Development Ministry of Transportation Infrastructure The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure MoTI, through its maintenance contractors, maintains all roads under its jurisdiction to a high standard based on the current level of use. This includes all roads that would be transferred to a local government, as part of a boundary extension. The Province will only retain jurisdiction over those roads that serve a provincial function. MoTI does not have the financial capacity to provide capital assistance for upgrades to all roads that are transferred to local governments.
