Creditstone Road Upgrading

Creditstone Road Improvement Highway 7 Highway 407

Support intensification with in VMC and Jane Street corridor widening from 2 to 5 lane cross section south of Highway 7 widening from 4 to 5 lane cross section north of Highway 7 to Rutherford Road serves as an eastern bypass to divert truck traffic from Highway 7 to Portage, Langstaff and eventually Colossus ROW widening required to 35 m.

Portage Parkway Extension

Portage Parkway Extension

new 4 lane collector from Jane Street to Creditstone Road requires creek crossing and some property for new ROW compatible with OPA 528 provides relief for Highway 7 by functioning as a northern bypass particularly for trucks

Colossus Drive Extension-Long Term (new crossing of Highway 400)

Colossus Drive Extension Highway 407 Highway 7 Edgeley Road

4 lane collector from West of Highway 400 to Interchange Way Serves as a southern bypass to divert traffic from Highway 7 including trucks. Increases roadway system capacity Improves travel times Facilitates enhanced transit Costly, but significant system benefits

Langstaff Road / Hwy. 400 Interchange Improvements

Langstaff Road Interchange Improvements

NB on-ramp is proposed to be located in the SE quadrant of the interchange (existing NB off-ramp may need to be relocated) SB off-ramp is located in the NW quadrant ( existing SWM pond may need to be reconfigured) new traffic signal required on Langstaff Road west of Hwy. 400 integral component of VMC truck strategy divert traffic away from Hwy. 7 interchange, particularly trucks

Langstaff Road Across CN Rail Yard

Langstaff Road Connection

would increase the traffic movements at the Highway 400 / Langstaff Road interchange, thus relieving the Highway 7/400 and Rutherford/400 interchanges. new connection would provide a substantial increase in east-west capacity. this link will provide relief to both Highway 7 and Rutherford Road. will link residential developments west
