Due to COVID-19, we are unable to host in-person engagement as originally planned for this summer. Because we know the community is extremely interested in the opportunity for more conversation around the Harris Road underpass and noise mitigation elements of this project, we are postponing that part of the engagement to the fall, in hopes that we will be able to host some form of in-person engagement at that time. However, we feel it is important to come back to the community with updates, so the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in partnership with the City of Pitt Meadows and Canadian Pacific are splitting the second phase of public engagement for the Pitt Meadows Road and Rail Improvements Project into two parts:
Kennedy Road overpass July 7– July 28, 2020
Harris Road underpass Fall 2020 We are here

Intermodal Facility and Auto Compound, which receive and export goods every day from across Canada to the Port of Vancouver

considering local communities and the environment
Improvements Project support the flow of goods via road and rail while bringing benefit to local communities and the environment
country turns their minds to what happens after COVID-19, the port authority aims to continue progressing projects such as this that will help keep Canadians working and secure our ability to trade with the world

During our first phase of public engagement (listen and learn) during fall 2019, we had more than 380 community members complete the online questionnaire and about 200 people attend the open house.

We presented 17 draft guiding principles during the first round of engagement seeking feedback to improve them or ideas for new ones. Of the 17 draft principles we shared, we: ➔ Updated three of these ➔ Added six additional guiding principles

Three updated guiding principles: Original principle Ensure the design improves safety, access and travel times for all road users including pedestrians, cyclists and first responders Explore ways to integrate the historical characteristics of Harris Road into the final design Maintain access to all businesses during regular business hours Refined/new Ensure the design improves safety and long-term access for all road users and that the design of the Harris Road underpass feels safe for all users Ensure the design of the Harris Road underpass complements the aesthetics of Pitt Meadows and reflects the history and heritage
Mitigate the impact to businesses during construction by ensuring access is maintained and the supporting awareness for the community that businesses are open

Ensure noise and vibration mitigation during construction meet current best practice standards Maintain, protect and enhance greenspace including exploring
may be impacted by the project Design the project to consider future population growth and the need to accommodate differentmodes of transportation along Harris Road and with the adjacent West Coast Express station Ensure that detour routes can accommodate traffic volumes, including rush hour traffic, throughout construction Ensure traffic management during construction meets current best practice standards Limit disruption to transit routes and stops during construction and maintain safe pedestrian and cycling access along Harris Road during construction, especially for those with strollers and mobility aids

We are applying the Envision framework to the Kennedy Road overpass – an industry-leading rating system developed by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure that assesses the sustainability and resilience of infrastructure projects. It considers and identifies opportunities for improvement relating to: We have also completed extensive environmental field work and developed an environmental permitting strategy that identifies the potential for:

Noise and vibration baseline study Track configuration Harris Road underpass design
We need to understand what current noise and vibration levels are and what they might be in the future. This information determines what types of noise mitigation measures will actually
will be shared as part of the Harris Road engagement in the fall. The Harris Road underpass design is developed through an iterative process with the track configuration design (given their interdependency in sharing common infrastructure). This work is being progressed and will be shared as part of the Harris Road engagement this fall. The track configuration is a key input into the noise and vibration study
and will be shared as part of the fall engagement. Once we understand the track configuration and the baseline noise and vibration outcomes, we can then determine what mitigation measures will reduce noise and vibrations and work towards including these measures with consideration of budget availability, feasibility, goals of the project and priorities of the City of Pitt Meadows.
