Transportation

Google.ca

 Key Findings:  Significant congestion on

Green Lane is anticipated

 The proposed Highway

404 flyover relieves pressure on Green Lane and facilitates active transportation and transit

 One north-south collector

road east of Highway 404 is sufficient

Transportation Costs

Google.ca

 Town’s preliminary estimated

transportation costs are $35 million including:

 Highway 404 flyover - $8.5

million assuming Town pays 1/3

• f total cost as per DC

Background Study

 East west collector road from

Leslie to Woodbine - $11.2 million

 North south collector - $12.5

million

 Other collector roads and

connections - $2.8 million

Water

Google.ca

 Water will be

extended to the area via crossings

• f Highway 404

 There will

ultimately be a regional trunk watermain on Woodbine

Wastewater

Google.ca

 Wastewater must be

extended to the area and a temporary pumping station will be required on Woodbine Ave inside the Secondary Plan area (blue square) until the permanent

• ne is built further

north (red square)

Wastewater

Water & Wastewater Costs

Google.ca

 Town’s estimated watermain costs are

approximately $13 million including:

 Highway 404 crossings - $5 million  Local watermain on Green Lane - $3.5

million

 Other local watermains - $4.5 million

 Town’s estimated sewer main costs are

approximately $23 million including:

 Interim forcemain and pumping station -

$6.25 million

 Sewer main along Green Lane - $7.6

million

 Other local sewer mains - $9.5 million

Stormwater

Google.ca

 Stormwater will be controlled

• n each site through low

impact development options (such as those shown in the photos) so no new stormwater ponds will be created

Utilities

Google.ca

 Town staff and the Broadband

Committee are working with the Region of York and service providers to install fiber optics north along Woodbine Avenue and ensure the future Employment Area has appropriate and reliable fiber optic access

Noise

Google.ca

 Transportation noise mitigation

will be required for noise sensitive uses (e.g. hotels)

 Some Industrial facilities could

be within the minimum separation distance of existing homes so non-noise generating uses will be needed which means that heavy Industrial facilities would not be currently feasible.

Urban Design Guidelines

High Quality Urban Design Compatibility Between Land Uses Connected Network

• f Streets, Trails

& Open Spaces

UDG will be used by Town staff to evaluate development applications

Fiscal Impact Analysis

Google.ca

 Based on ~3.6 million sq. ft. of GFA

and 4,630 employees

 The work currently being undertaken

will:

 Estimate revenues from new

assessment and non-tax methods such as fees, permits etc.

 Estimate expenditures including a

review of operating and capital costs (including lifecycle replacement costs)

 Determine net financial impacts

 Town-wide growth related capital

work will be covered by the Town's Development Charge By-law

Preferred Option Considerations

Google.ca

Option 1 Option 2 Transportation Direct north/south collector road connection to Mount Albert Rd relieves pressure

• n Woodbine/Mount Albert

intersection but may have grading /access issues The north/south collector road connects to Woodbine. Second north-south collector road east of 404 not needed. Both options require 404 flyover. Land Use Mixed business employment uses focussed

• n Green Lane.

Has slightly more Prestige Employment and less General Employment lands Mixed business employment uses located on both Green Lane and Woodbine Ave Economic Development More inquiries being made about General Employment lands Fewer roads allow for larger development blocks which increases flexibility in the marketplace

Preferred Option Considerations

Google.ca

Option 1 Option 2 Natural Heritage System Fewer crossings of NHS which reduces impacts Water Servicing Provides a better watermain grid with more redundancies Fewer public roads so less costly to construct and maintain Wastewater Servicing Both options require interim pumping station at Mount Albert Rd and Woodbine Ave Stormwater Less public roads so less infrastructure required

Phasing

Google.ca

Phase 1

 Lands located west of Highway 404 –

closest location for extending sanitary sewers and watermains.

Phase 2

 East of Highway 404 from Herald

Road to approximately halfway between Herald Road and Mount Albert Road

Phase 3

 Lands north of Phase 2 - an interim

pumping station and forcemain must be constructed.

 An on-line presentation has been

posted to replace the cancelled public meeting and the public is being invited to make submissions or ask questions

 Responding to comments on

Phase 2 reports from staff and Technical Advisory Committee
