2002 Cascade Gateway Rail Study Final Report Cascade Gateway Rail Study BNSF New Westminster, Bellingham and Scenic Subdivisions Final Report Prepared for: International Mobility and Trade Corridor Project (IMTC) Led by the Whatcom Council of Governments Prepared by: Wilbur Smith Associates Reebie Associates BST Associates Washington Infrastructure Services McElhanney Consulting Services Denver Tolliver December 20, 2002 Executive Summary CASCADE GATEWAY RAIL STUDY PROJECT OVERVIEW This study is a conceptual analysis of how congestion on the Cascade Gateway highway corridor might be relieved by diversions of truck and motor vehicle traffic to rail. The highway system consists of U.S. Interstate 5 and B.C. Highway 99. Paralleling these two highways is the main line of the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway (BNSF). This rail line, known as the Cascade Gateway rail corridor, hosts a moderate amount of cross- border traffic today. Given its direct route, moderate speeds, and connections to other lines to major markets to the south and east, the 156-mile route between Seattle and Vancouver has the potential for attracting more highway traffic, thus the potential for relieving some of the congestion at Blaine. Accordingly, the purpose of this study has been to identify: x The truck traffic that could be attracted to the line (and thus diverted from the highway system). x The passenger traffic that could be attracted to the line (and thus diverted from the highway system). x The minimum capital investments needed to handle the train traffic increases due to highway diversions. x The economic and societal benefits that would result from the diversions. At the same time, the study investigated the potential for a cross-border commuter rail service operating between Bellingham and Vancouver, and an Amtrak station at Scott Road in Surrey. The latter would provide for a transfer to SkyTrain at Scott Road. HOW THE STUDY WAS DONE To accomplish these objectives, the study team performed six essential analyses. x Truck diversions and normal rail traffic growth. The team forecasted the cross-border truck traffic on the I-5/Highway 99 corridor at Blaine. The team then estimated the diversions that could be expected for the rail corridor, given assumptions of certain capacity and service enhancements. The key service improvement is initiation of truck competitive “high cube double-stack”1 intermodal services between Vancouver and Southern California. The diversions totaled about 2 trucks per hour in both the northbound and southbound directions in 2012. At the same time, the team forecasted the normal 1 These terms are defined in Chapter 2. 377000 CASCADE GATEWAY RAIL STUDY WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Page ES - 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY growth of the line’s traditional carload business. This will increase more than 50 percent to 9.33 million tons in 2012 from 6.03 million tons today. x Motor vehicle diversions. The team forecasted the passenger trips that could be expected given the assumption of expanded Amtrak Cascades service between Seattle and Vancouver. The study assumed that these trips would be made otherwise by motor vehicles. With two additional round trips, total corridor rail passengers should be about 362,000 in 2012, up from about 137,000 today. x Capacity improvements. The team analyzed the minimum capacity improvements needed to handle the new freight (the truck diversions and the increase in carload business) and passenger rail traffic. Six specific improvements were identified; these total about $38.6 million. This total included vertical clearance improvements to handle high cube double- stacks on the route. However, there remain other vertical clearance obstructions for this traffic on the BNSF and UP routes to the south. (UP has the right to market rail service in Vancouver; BNSF provides haulage for UP between Vancouver and UP’s railhead in Seattle. Both railroads have routes between Seattle and Southern California.) x Diversion benefits. The team quantified the accident, congestion, energy, and air pollution savings that would result from diversions of truck and motor vehicle traffic from the highway system to the rail corridor. Annual benefits from these diversions could total as high as $2.7 million in 2012. x Commuter rail service. The team assessed the potential of a cross-border commuter rail service operating between Bellingham and Vancouver. The analysis identified a ridership potential of 288 daily passenger trips, a public operating subsidy of $1.1 to $2.4 million per year, and a minimum of about $35.5 million start-up capital. x Scott Road Amtrak station. Serving as a terminus for the Amtrak Cascades, this station would obviate the need for any capital improvements for passenger service between New Westminster and Downtown Vancouver. However, it would require Vancouver-bound passengers to transfer to SkyTrain. Preferences of Amtrak riders are unknown. Construction costs would total about $14.1 million. RECOMMENDATIONS The findings dictated the following recommendations: x Pursue the extension of the second the Amtrak Cascades train from Bellingham to Vancouver, perhaps as soon as 2004. Introduce a third train by perhaps 2008. The ridership potential appears to exist to justify this expansion. x Working with the BNSF and other freight rail operators on the line, identify and construct rail improvements necessary to support the second Amtrak Cascades train to Vancouver. These improvements would include the controlled siding at Colebrook and CTC between Blaine and Townsend. x Study the feasibility of eliminating all vertical clearance obstructions for high cube double-stack trains on the BNSF and UP rail lines paralleling I-5 between Seattle and Los Angeles. The cost for doing so is reportedly around $20 million. 377000 CASCADE GATEWAY RAIL STUDY WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Page ES - 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY x There is no need of a commuter rail service between Bellingham and Vancouver (either Pacific Central Station or Waterfront Station). The ridership likely would be very low. At the same time, the required subsidy and capital improvements likely would be very high. x Survey Amtrak riders to determine their origin and destination patterns in Vancouver, as well as their interest in using a Scott Road station and a SkyTrain transfer. The survey would be crafted to test further the feasibility of an Amtrak stop or terminus there. 377000 CASCADE GATEWAY RAIL STUDY WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Page ES - 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Introduction Purpose of the Study ..............................................................................................................1-1 Study Process.........................................................................................................................1-1 Agencies and Other Entities Consulted .................................................................................1-2 Chapter 2 Rail Freight Forecasts Introduction............................................................................................................................2-1 Rail Freight Forecast..............................................................................................................2-2 Chapter 3 Rail Passenger Forecasts Introduction............................................................................................................................3-1 Rail Passenger Forecast .........................................................................................................3-1 Other Passenger Services.......................................................................................................3-7 Chapter 4 Commuter Operations Introduction............................................................................................................................4-1 Commuter Operations............................................................................................................4-2 Summary................................................................................................................................4-5 Chapter 5 Capacity Improvements Introduction............................................................................................................................5-1 Cascade Gateway Capacity Issues and Solutions ..................................................................5-1 Summary................................................................................................................................5-14 Chapter 6 Scott Road Station Pre-Feasibility Analysis Introduction............................................................................................................................6-1 Scott Road SkyTrain Station..................................................................................................6-2 Possible Station Development and Linkage Concept ............................................................6-3 Passenger Convenience..........................................................................................................6-7 Transportation Service Provider Efficiencies ........................................................................6-10 Good Neighbor Relationships................................................................................................6-11 Implementation Challenges ...................................................................................................6-12 Peer Station Comparisons......................................................................................................6-12

Box 30 Fax: 819-363-5155 Kingsey Falls, Quebec J0A 1B0 Canada www.cascades.com CASCADES ACQUIRES CONTAINERBOARD PACKAGING PLANTS IN ONTARIO AND INCREASES ITS OWNERSHIP IN GREENPAC Kinsey Falls, QC, December 4, 2017 – Cascades Inc. (TSX: CAS) announces the acquisition of four plants in Ontario to strengthen its position in the containerboard packaging sector, and the purchase of an ownership position in Tencorr Holdings Corporation (“Tencorr”). The company also announces an increase in its equity holding of the Greenpac Mill LLC (“Greenpac”). “We are very pleased to expand our presence in Ontario and increase our stake in Greenpac for the second time this year. These transactions align perfectly with our vision and strategy for our containerboard activities,” stated Cascades President and CEO Mario Plourde. The four following plants were acquired from the Coyle family, and specialize in the manufacturing of boxes and speciality products offering strong growth potential: - McLeish Corr-a-Box Packaging & Design – Etobicoke, Ontario - Brown Packaging – Burlington, Ontario - Coyle Corrugated Containers Inc. – Scarborough, Ontario - Coyle Packaging (Peterborough) Ltd. – Peterborough, Ontario This transaction will allow Cascades to expand its presence in Ontario, to increase its production capacity by 500 million square feet per year, and to strengthen its ability to serve customers in this region. These plants already have procurement agreements with Greenpac, and as such the transaction will have little impact on Cascades’ integration rate. Cascades has also acquired the Coyle family’s 33% stake in Tencorr, a company specialized in manufacturing sheet stock for box producers.

    Barker Letter Book Volume 1 Page(s) 1 - 4 AEmilius Jarvis November 8, 1905 McKinnon Building, Toronto, Ont. Dear Sir:- None of your valued favors unanswered. I have heard nothing recently from Mr. R. Kelly regarding any action taken by Mr. Sloan, as the result of your meeting the Government. As I informed you, I called on Mr. Kelly immediately on receipt of your letter containing the memorandum of what the Government agreed to do, providing Mr. Sloan endorsed it, and the request that he wire his endorsement, or better, that he go East and stay there until the Order in Council was made. I told Mr. Kelly that our Company would guarantee any expense attached to the trip. The next day Mr. Kelly sent up for a copy of the Memorandum for Mr. Sloan: I sent it together with extracts from your letter, and asked Mr. Kelly to arrange for a meeting with Mr. Sloan, as I would like to talk over the matter with him, but have heard nothing from either Mr. Kelly or Mr. Sloan. I however, have seen both the Wallace Bros., and Mr. R. Drainey and they have seen both Kelly and Sloan, they and the Bell-Irvings have given me to understand that they have endorsed all we have said and done. I have seen Mr. Sweeny several times since his return, he seems to agree with what has been done, but seems to think the newly appointed Commission should act in the matter and that the Government will follow their recommendations. In the meantime the people who intend building at Rivers Inlet and Skeena are going ahead with their preparations.

  • 1 the Phibbs Bus Exchange Redesign
    The Phibbs Bus Exchange Redesign: From Concrete and Asphalt to Raingardens and Bridges! Michelle Babiuk, Project Manager, Infrastructure and Network Management, TransLink Bernard Abelson, Transportation Planning Business Sector Lead, McElhanney (previously CH2M HILL) Paper prepared for presentation at the session: What are Transit-Supportive Environments? Innovative Indicators and Methodologies to Evaluate Transit Supportiveness of the 2016 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Toronto, ON 1 Abstract The Phibbs Exchange is a major bus Exchange located at the northern foot of the Second Narrows Bridge on the TransCanada Highway in the District of North Vancouver (DoNV). It serves 18 bus routes and 15,700 daily passenger trips. The Exchange provides connections between buses running to East Vancouver and Burnaby, and across the North Shore. Due to its poor passenger environment and its existing and long-term operational and capacity deficiencies, the Exchange was identified as a priority for upgrade in TransLink’s North Shore Area Transit Plan (NSATP), as well as DoNV’s Lower Lynn Transportation Strategy and Master Transportation Plan. The Exchange has a number of safety and operational deficiencies and challenges, exacerbated by the following: • Capacity - The Exchange does not have enough bus bays to accommodate the current bus services that operate at the Exchange, resulting in buses double-parking in bays. • Transit Circulation – The current transit circulation result in numerous conflict points and unsafe conditions for pedestrians, passengers, operators and cyclists. • Passenger Environment - Phibbs Exchange has long been perceived by passengers as unsafe and unwelcoming. This is partly due to the Exchange’s configuration which locates passenger areas on an island separated from the adjoining neighbourhood by bus drive aisles and a Highway 1 off-ramp.
