Estimating the Marginal Effect of Pits and Quarries on Rural Residential Property Values in Wellington County, Ontario: a Hedonic Approach
Estimating the Marginal Effect of Pits and Quarries on Rural Residential Property Values in Wellington County, Ontario: A Hedonic Approach by Alison Grant A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Program Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Alison Grant, June, 2017 ABSTRACT Estimating the Marginal Effect of Pits and Quarries on Rural Residential Property Values in Wellington County, Ontario: A Hedonic Approach Alison Grant Advisor: Dr. Brady Deaton University of Guelph, 2017 Committee: Dr. Jessica Cao Dr. Richard Vyn “Aggregate” material – i.e., sand, gravel, clay, and bedrock – are extracted from pits and quarries throughout Ontario. Aggregates are the number one resource extracted (by value) and used by Ontarians, and approximately $1.2 billion of aggregate material was extracted in Ontario in the last year. While aggregate is a valued resource, the extraction of aggregate is often identified as a negative externality. Similar to other environmental disamenities mentioned in the literature – such as shale gas exploration sites, wind turbines and landfills – residents near aggregate extraction identify a host of events that can be categorized as negative externalities. Residential concerns include noise and visual disamenities, as well as environmental concerns, such as diminished water quality. In this study, I assess the potential impacts of aggregate sites. First, I briefly introduce the perceived impacts of aggregate sites by quoting residents’ concerns through newspaper articles and lobby group websites. I then utilize the hedonic model to test these claims made by residents: namely, the negative effect on property values. -

Windsor-Essex Parkway
Backgrounder The Windsor-Essex Parkway The Windsor-Essex Parkway is part of a long-term transportation solution to improve the movement of goods and people between the Windsor-Detroit border – a vital gateway and key to Ontario’s economic well-being. Project Features The Windsor-Essex Parkway will continue Ontario’s Highway 401 through the municipalities of Tecumseh, LaSalle and Windsor. The Parkway’s design consists of a six- lane below-grade freeway which is an extension of Highway 401, a four-lane service road network which is an extension of Highway 3 and naturalized green space that will distance adjacent residents from the border-bound traffic travelling on the freeway. The Parkway is a once-in-a-generation undertaking. It is unprecedented in its community enhancement features for any highway, anywhere in Ontario and will include: • 11 tunnels covering 1.8 kilometres of freeway • extensive landscaping throughout the corridor • the use of proven techniques to reduce noise levels • special measures to protect wildlife. Vision Upon completion, the 11 kilometre Parkway will ease the movement of goods and people to and from the Windsor-Detroit border, separate local and international traffic, and eliminate stop-and-go traffic in residential areas. With more than 300 acres of green space, 20 kilometres of recreational trails and new community connections, residents in Windsor-Essex will enjoy an improved quality of life. Delivery method The Parkway is the first Ontario road project to be delivered using an alternative financing and procurement (AFP) model – a public-private partnership delivery method. In December 2010, the province signed a fixed-price contract with the Windsor Essex Mobility Group (WEMG) to design, build, finance and to provide long-term maintenance of the Windsor- Essex Parkway. -

ENGINEERING HISTORY PAPER #92 “150 Years of Canadian Engineering: Timelines for Events and Achievements”
THE ENGINEERING INSTITUTE OF CANADA and its member societies L'Institut canadien des ingénieurs et ses sociétés membres EIC’s Historical Notes and Papers Collection (Compilation of historical articles, notes and papers previously published as Articles, Cedargrove Series, Working Papers or Journals) ENGINEERING HISTORY PAPER #92 “150 Years of Canadian Engineering: Timelines for Events and Achievements” by Andrew H. Wilson (previously produced as Cedargrove Series #52/2019 – May 2019) *********************** EIC HISTORY AND ARCHIVES *********************** © EIC 2019 PO Box 40140, Ottawa ON K1V 0W8 +1 (613) 400-1786 / [email protected] / http://www.eic-ici.ca THE CEDARGROVE SERIES OF DISCOURSES, MEMOIRS AND ESSAYS #52/2019 150 YEARS OF CANADIAN ENGINEERING: TIMELINES FOR EVENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS by Andrew H. Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs. -

Project Manager Suzette Shiu, P.Eng. Technical Team Steve Molloy, BA Rudy Sooklall, M.A.Sc. December 2007 iTRANS Town of Ajax Transportation Master Plan Update Final Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction In 2000, the Town of Ajax approved its first Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to address the transportation requirements up to 2021, which coincided with the build-out of Ajax within its urban boundary. With recent legislative changes to growth, regional policy changes and recent development activity within the Town, an update of the TMP was required to address transportation needs for the 2021, 2026 and 2031 horizon years. Since the preparation of the 2000 Master Transportation Study, many key assumptions have changed and new information is available: . Land use assumptions have been updated across Durham Region. Provincial planning initiatives provide the broad planning context for the transportation master plan – Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and legislation such as the Greenbelt Act 2005 and Places to Grow Act 2005. The 2003 Durham Region Transportation Master Plan which adopts a vision of a balanced road and transit infrastructure investment strategy will provide an overall regional transportation context for Ajax’s transportation master plan. -
