Essex Windsor Regional Transportation Master Plan
ESSEX-WINDSOR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN Technical Report IBI Group With October, 2005 Paradigm Transportation Solutions Essex-Windsor Regional Transportation Master Plan MAJOR STUDY FINDINGS & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PART 1: MAJOR STUDY FINDINGS Official Plan policies of both the County of Essex and the City of Windsor acknowledge that comprehensive regional transportation policies and implementation strategies are needed to effectively address regional transportation needs now through to 2021. This is needed because during this time period, the City and County combined are expected to grow by about 92,000 more residents and 53,000 jobs. The location and form of this growth will have a significant impact on the capability of the existing transportation system, and specifically the major roadway system, to serve the added travel needs. Coupled with this is the overall background growth in trip-making throughout the Essex-Windsor region, and the amount of cross-border traffic moving through the region. This is why the regional transportation plan has taken a very integrated transportation/land use planning approach, with as much emphasis on demand-side issues such as trip-making characteristics and travel mode choice, as on the more traditional supply-side alternatives dealing with major roadway widenings and extensions. The transportation planning approach used in this study emphasizes the integration of land use and transportation planning in Essex-Windsor region. Continued regional growth will put pressure on strategic parts of the transportation system, reducing its ability to move people and goods safely and efficiently in these parts of the region. Other transportation system needs will continue to grow in response to growth in international cross-border traffic, and are addressed more specifically in the Lets Get Windsor-Essex Moving initiatives, the Detroit River International Crossing Study and the Windsor Gateway Report prepared for the City of Windsor by Sam Schwartz Engineering PLLC and released in January 2005. -

cover story The Ill-Fated Throttle Twisters Windsor native Dave MacRae posted the tragic story of his Uncle Jack MacRae (right) on our new Facebook site, “Fans of Windsor’s History.” His parents, Sadie and Archie MacRae (left), were also members of the jinxed motorcycle club; all photos were taken in Windsor in 1950. If you have stories and photos related to Windsor’s history you would like to share, please join our “Fans of Windsor’s History” group at www.facebook.com. February 6, 1950 “A group of Windsor motorcycle enthusiast will act as pall bearers Thursday at the funeral of the fifth member of their group to die of injuries due to motorcycle accidents in the past year. John MacRae (right), 20 of 1859 Windermere Road, who was to have been president of the Throttle Twisters, the club which he organized, died early today at Metropolitan Hospital of his injuries, received when his motorcycle struck a car last Sunday. The car was driven by Mrs. Mary Bowley, 337 Campbell Avenue. On January 27, two days before the accident which caused his death, MacRae presided at a meeting of the group. About 20 young people decided at the meeting to form the Throttle Twisters Club. What was to have been the final organizational meeting of the Throttle Twisters was postponed as MacRae lay unconscious and in critical condition. The names of the four other motorcyclists killed since June include: Raymond Busher, 26, 1066 Wyandotte East, killed on Walker Road four miles from Windsor; Arthur Ellis, 27, 367 Lincoln Road, thrown from his motorcycle July 20; Mathew Whiteford, 3261 Sandwich St. -

Section 4: Transportation Master Plan
4.0 TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN The MASTER PLAN is a comprehensive set of transportation improvement recommendations for future travel demand management (TDM), pedestrian mobility, bikeway development, transit service and the major roadway network. It also includes strategies to improve the City’s truck route system, as well as approaches to traffic calming and community transportation. Final recommendations are provided to implement this Master Plan in terms of Official Plan amendments, and monitoring and updating the Plan Stantec 4.1 4.1 TRANSPORTATION PLANNING STRATEGY The overall planning strategy of the WALTS study is to manage the growing mobility needs of the City and adjacent municipalities, at both the local and regional levels, by: 1. Controlling Land Use - to reduce the growth in home-based trip making. Official Plan policies already support mixed use development and more intensive residential densities at appropriate locations. 2. Applying Selective Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Measures - where appropriate to either shift travel modes or reduce trip-making. 3. Adjusting Level-Of-Service (LOS) - to optimize existing transportation infrastructure capacity. In this WALTS study, identification of capacity deficiencies uses a peak hour LOS of “E” (down from “D”) on Class II arterial and collector roadways, and LOS “D” on Expressways and Class I arterials (down from “C”); 4. Improving and Increasing Supply - to increase the transportation systems carrying capacity, such as strategically widening roads, extending roads, building additional transit and cycling capacity, building sidewalks and improving key operational features. In the Windsor area, the success of the Transportation Plan is primarily dependent on adjusting the Level-Of-Service, and on improving and increasing the roadway system capacity. -

Section 3.3 of This Report, Include Scenarios of Future Cross-Border Traffic Increases
3.0 FUTURE NEEDS & ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS The FUTURE NEEDS & ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS presented in this study section address the Windsor area’s transportation system needs over the next 20 years. Existing system deficiencies were previously identified in Section 2.0. Combined with the forecasted traffic conditions and related deficiencies presented in this Section, they represent the “Need and Justification” for considering future system improvements. Identifying the various network improvement alternatives available to address these needs was conducted in response to Phase 2 of the Class EA Process For Municipal Roads. This includes the Do-Nothing approach, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies and Structural alternatives to meet the area’s transportation system needs to the year 2016. Stantec 3. 1 3.1 FUTURE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM NEEDS 3.1.1 MODEL CALIBRATION The traffic forecasting model replicates traffic movement across the designated screenlines used in this Study (see Section 2.3). These screenlines are actual lines in the study area over which passing traffic can consistently be measured. Screenlines have been used to compare observed and predicted traffic volumes. The results show that the Windsor area model more than adequately replicates 1996 traffic counts. This important conclusion was reached by calibrating the model. Calibration is the iterative process of applying the model’s inputs to make the predicted results match observed actual conditions as closely as possible. The reliability of the model outputs is highly dependent on the quality of the calibration. The Windsor area model was calibrated in four steps, with the results of each summarized as follows. The results show that the Windsor area traffic forecasting model is replicating actual traffic volumes very accurately.
