Executive Summary Content
115 George Street Inc. retained Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited (Paradigm) to conduct this Transportation Impact Study, Parking Study and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Options report for a proposed residential redevelopment located in the City of Hamilton.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impacts of the redevelopment traffic on the surrounding road network, determine the improvements necessary (if any) to mitigate impacts, assess the adequacy of the proposed parking supply and outline the site’s TDM measures.
Development Concept
The subject site is located on the northeast corner of Main Street West and Queen Street South and consists of three parcels. At present, the site is occupied by three multi-storey buildings with surface parking provided in the rear. Access to the parcels is provided via private driveway connections to Main Street West and Queen Street South. The existing buildings and driveways will be removed to permit the redevelopment to proceed.
The applicant proposes to redevelop the site to include a 23-storey mixed-use building with:
321 residential units in a mix of studio, one and two bedroom units; 2 approximately 479 m (5,154 sq. ft.) of ground-floor retail space located as follows: • 314 m2 (3,380 sq. ft.) fronting Main Street West; and • approximately 165 m2 (1,774 sq. ft.) fronting George Street
A total of 119 parking spaces are proposed to serve the site.
Vehicle access is proposed via one all-turns private driveway connection to Queen Street South. Note that the site was originally planned with access to both Queen Street South and Main Street. After consultation with City staff, the applicant removed the proposed access to Main Street West to help ensure safe entry to and exit from the site.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page i 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
The actual number of units and parking spaces will be adjusted to reflect current market conditions closer to the start of construction.
Buildout is expected to occur in 2024.
Conclusions
Based on the investigations carried out, it is concluded that: Existing Traffic Operations As per City staff direction, the operations of the study area intersections were not evaluated under existing conditions since Queen Street South is currently being converted to two-way operation.
Development Trip Generation The development is forecast to have a base trip generation of 108 AM peak hour trips and 137 PM peak hour trips. When adjusted to account for onsite synergy between land uses and pass-by trips, the site is forecast to generate 106 new AM peak hour trips and 125 new PM peak hour trips. Background Traffic Operations Under 2029 background traffic conditions, Queen Street South and George Street is forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service during the AM and PM peak hours. The remaining study area intersections are forecast to operate with critical values on the following movements:
King Street West and Queen Street South: • Overall intersection – AM and PM peak hour; • Westbound through movement – AM and PM peak hour; • Northbound left-turn movement – AM peak hour; and • Southbound through movement – AM peak hour.
Main Street West and Queen Street South: • Eastbound through movement – AM peak hour; • Eastbound right-turn movement – AM and PM peak hour; and • Southbound left-turn movement – AM peak hour.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page ii 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
Future Total Traffic Operations Under 2029 future total traffic, the study area intersections are forecast to operate similar to background conditions.
Overall, inclusion of the site-generated traffic increases delay at the Queen Street South intersections with George Street and Main Street by no more than 4 seconds during the AM and PM peak hours. Inclusion of the site-generated traffic increases delay at the Queen Street South and King Street West intersection by eight seconds during the AM peak hour and four seconds during the PM peak hour.
SimTraffic Queue Analysis Based on the SimTraffic queue assessment, the surrounding study area intersection queues are not forecast to spillback and impact the site driveway operations.
Remedial Measures The need for remedial measures, in the form of additional capacity, was not assessed since the study area is built-out. As well, it is expected the City will continue to monitor study area signal timing and phasing plans and adjust as necessary to ensure optimal levels of service are provided. Parking Justification Zoning By-Law Parking Requirements The Downtown Zones of City of Hamilton Zoning By-law 05-200 is the current in-force By-law for the proposed redevelopment. Based on this By-law, a total of 124 parking spaces will be required to service the site. A total of 119 spaces are proposed. This is a deficit of five spaces, or 4% of the By-law required supply.
Proximity to Future Rapid Transit Corridor
The subject site is located within 180 metres of an express bus route and the future rapid transit corridor on King Street West. As per the TDM guidelines, this can result in a 1% to 5% reduction in the required parking spaces. If a reduction of 4% (the current deficit) is granted, the site, as currently planned, will provide the total By-law required parking supply.
Walk Score and Bike Share
The subject site’s high Walk Score of 90 and close proximity to eight SoBi bicycle stations makes the site attractive to for residents who do
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page iii 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
not need to own or use a vehicle, thereby reducing the site’s parking demand.
Transportation Demand Management Plan
The applicant has developed a comprehensive transportation demand management (TDM) plan for the site that will help increase travel by sustainable modes and decrease the need for residents to own a vehicle, thereby reducing the demand for onsite parking.
Parking Management Measures
To ensure an adequate supply of onsite parking, the applicant will unbundle parking spaces from the units, limit the number of spaces a unit can purchase or lease, assign parking spaces to residents and rent/lease spaces to residents until they are purchased.
Parking Supply Summary
Overall, given the site’s proximity to alternative transportation options, a high Walk Score and implementation of parking management measures, the proposed parking supply should adequately serve the site’s parking demand.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Measures The proposed TDM measures for the site include:
Adequate onsite bike parking;
Lighted sidewalks;
Proximity to transit and bikeshare;
Onsite wayfinding and travel planning;
Enhanced onsite pedestrian amenities including benches, landscaping and lighting;
Weather protected waiting areas; and
Transit incentives
As well, the site is located in Ward 2 which, according to the City’s Ward Profile, has a higher proportion of employed residents that use alternative modes of transportation to/from work compared to the rest of Hamilton. It is reasonable to assume the residents of this development will have similar commuting and travel mode patterns. The ward profile data indicates:
• Approximately 71% of Ward 2 residents work within the City;
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page iv 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
• Approximately 49% of Ward 2 residents drive to their place of work versus 76% for the entirety of Hamilton; and • Approximately 44% of Ward 2 residents use alternative modes of transportation (public transit, walk, cycle) to get to work compared to 16% for the entirety of Hamilton.
These measures will assist in mitigating the site’s impact on the adjacent road network, promote a strong and vibrant economy, and create a livable community that has a balanced transportation network that accommodates all modes of transportation.
Recommendations
Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that:
The City of Hamilton recognize the conclusions drawn above;
The site be allowed to be developed as planned;
The applicant consult with SoBi to discuss the feasibility of providing an onsite bikeshare station;
The applicant implement the following parking management strategies at the site: • Unbundle parking from the unit purchase price to ensure only those requiring parking purchase a space; • Limit the number of parking spaces that can be purchased by each unit; • Assign parking spaces to residents; and • Rent surplus spaces to residents until such time as they are purchased
The applicant implements the TDM program outlined above and continue to monitor and adjust the program as needed

2 Existing Conditions This section documents current traffic conditions, operational deficiencies, and constraints experienced by the public travelling at the intersections within the study area. The operational deficiencies and constraints identified at this stage will be fundamental to the process of defining the required remedial measures.
2.1 Road Network
The characteristics of the roadways in the study area are:
King Street West through the study area is four-lane, westbound only roadway classified as a major arterial within the Urban Hamilton Official Plan (UHOP)2. It has a four-lane urban cross- section and a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. The roadway is one of the major arterials connecting the west and east sides of the lower city. Stopping is generally not permitted on the south side of King Street West in the study area. On-street metered parking is provided on the north side of King Street both east and west of Queen Street South. However, stopping is not permitted in these spaces between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM Monday through Friday.
Main Street West through the study area is an eastbound only roadway classified as a major arterial within the UHOP. West of Queen Street south is has a five-lane cross-section, reducing to four lanes east of Queen Street South. It has an urban cross- section and a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. The roadway is one of the major arterials connecting the west and east sides of the lower city. Parking and stopping is generally not permitted along Main Street West within the study area; however, there are five metered parking spaces located on the north side of Main Street West between Ray Street and Queen Street South where parking is permitted between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Queen Street South is a three-lane, north-south roadway designated as a minor arterial in the UHOP. It has an urban cross-section and a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. The roadway connects the lower city to Hamilton Mountain. Adjacent to the site parking is generally permitted on the east side of Queen Street South between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM and stopping is prohibited between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. George Street, west of Queen Street South, is a two-lane roadway designated as a local roadway within the UHOP. It has an urban cross-section. The speed limit is not posted and is

assumed to be 50 km/h. Near Queen Street South, parking is not permitted on the either side of the roadway. East of Queen Street South, George Street is a pedestrian only area eastward to Hess Street South (one block).
2.2 Active Transportation
2.2.1 Cycling
Cycling facilities (on-street bike lanes, cycle track, etc.) are not provided on the study area roadways. The City’s Urban Bikeways Map3 indicates the following cycling infrastructure near the subject site:
North-south signed on-street bike routes on Locke Street 400 metres to the west and on Caroline Street 250 metres to the east;
East-west designated bike lanes on Hunter Street 250 metres to the south;
East-west designated bike lanes on York Boulevard 530 metres to the metres north;
East-west designated bike lanes on Cannon Street West 550 metres to the north; and
North-south designated bike lanes on Bay Street 425 metres to the east.
2.2.2 Walking
Sidewalks are provided on both sides of all study area roadways. These sidewalks are hard-surfaced and noted to be in good condition during the site visit.
Painted crosswalks and curb let-downs are provided on all corners at the intersection of Main Street West and Queen Street South. Pedestrian crossing phases are automated and included as part of the signal timing on all approaches.
Curb let-downs are provided on the northwest and southwest corners of George Street and along the easterly George Street frontage.
Walk Score is an online tool that assigns a numerical walkability score between 0 and 100 for addresses in Australia, Canada, United States, and New Zealand. Walk Score ranks communities nationwide based on how many businesses, parks, theatres, schools and other common destinations are within walking distance of any given address. The

Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 5 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
subject site has a Walk Score of 90 and is considered a “Walker’s Paradise” which means most daily errands do not require a car4. The site is within a 15-minute walk of the majority of Downtown Hamilton where many shops, personal and business service establishments and restaurants are located.
2.2.3 Bike Share
The City of Hamilton, in partnership with Social Bicycles (SoBi), has implemented a bike share program that provides bicycles at locations across the lower City of Hamilton, including near the subject site. Bikes are available to program members on a short-term rental basis. Members can pick up and drop off bicycles at any station, or location, as needed. SoBi provides convenient and ready access to an increasingly well-used non-automotive travel mode.
Approximately eight stations are located within about 450 metres of the proposed redevelopment, including two stations within 25 metres of the site. These stations provide access to about 90 bikes for use by the redevelopment and local community. The ready availability of these bikes supports bicycle travel as a convenient alternate travel mode for people living both within the proposed building and general area.
2.3 Transit Service
2.3.1 Hamilton Street Railway
The Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) operates six bus routes within 400- metres (six-minute walk) of the site:
1 – King;
5 – Delaware;
6/7/8 – Aberdeen, Locke and York;
10 – B Line Express;
34 – Upper Paradise; and
51 – University.
Table 2.1 summarizes the existing transit routes servicing the site. Note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all HSR routes are currently operating on a reduced schedule during the week.
Connections to the larger HSR network are available along these routes as well as at the MacNab Street Bus Terminal located

Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 6 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
approximately 700 metres east of the site. Additionally, Routes 1, 6 and 51 provide direct service to the GO Transit network (both bus and rail) at the Hunter Street GO station. All buses are equipped with bike racks on the front bumper.
The proximity of the site to local, regional and future higher-order transit services (Chapter 6) makes the redevelopment attractive to commuters. Existing transit services are integral to the project and will facilitate the use of transit by occupants, thereby reducing vehicle ownership and assumed parking demand for the development. The study area GO Transit and future LRT services are described below.

2.3.2 GO Transit Service
GO Transit is the regional public transit system in Ontario. The Hunter Street GO Station is located one kilometre east of the proposed redevelopment and is easily accessible via existing HSR services (as outlined above). Weekday rush-hour train service from Hamilton to Toronto in the morning and from Toronto to Hamilton in the evening is provided at this station via the Lakeshore West line. Connections can be made along the line to many of the other GO Transit stations which provide access to other municipalities east of Hamilton. The connectivity that already exists between local and regional transit services should be attractive, particularly to potential residents of the proposed development.
GO Transit bus service Route 16 (Hamilton/Toronto Express) is provided on Main Street (eastbound) and King Street (westbound). Typically, this route operates on weekdays from about 4:15 AM to 1:25 AM. Service is provided about every 20 minutes during peak periods and every 30 minutes at all other times. Saturday and Sunday service operates from about 7:00 AM to 1:30 AM. Service is provided on 20 to 30-minute headways. The eastbound bus stop is located on the southwest corner of Main Street West and Queen Street South, immediately west of the HSR bus stop (about 80 metres west of the subject site). The westbound stop is located on the northwest corner of King Street West and Queen Street South about 180 metres north of the site.

2.3.3 Future Rapid Transit Corridor
Future transit plans for the City include the implementation of five rapid transit corridors that will form Hamilton’s “B-L-A-S-T” network:
B-Line – McMaster University to Eastgate Square (currently operating);
L-Line – Downtown to Waterdown;
A-Line – Downtown to Airport (currently operating);
S-Line – Centennial to Ancaster Business Park; and
T-Line – Mohawk to Meadowlands.
The B-Line was identified in The Big Move5, the Regional Transportation Plan, as a Metrolinx “priority” project. The project envisions shifting from traditional bus transit to rapid transit between Eastgate Square and McMaster University via Downtown Hamilton along the Main Street/King Street corridor.
The future rapid transit corridor will likely link to GO Transit services as well as VIA Rail services (via GO Transit) and walking and cycling trails to help provide sustainable transportation choices to residents of Hamilton.
Currently, the expected timeline for implementation of the future rapid transit corridor is unknown.
Figure 2.2 illustrates the proposed BLAST network in relation to the subject site.
2.3.4 Ride-Hailing & Car Services
Ride-hailing and car services in the City of Hamilton include Hamilton Taxi, Blue Line Taxi, Wavetrans Para-transit and Uber/Lyft. These companies offer on-demand private car services.
2.4 Traffic Volumes
Paradigm conducted AM and PM peak period traffic counts at the study area intersections in October 2019 to establish the base traffic conditions.

2.5 Traffic Operations
As per City staff direction, the operations of the study area intersections were not evaluated under existing conditions since Queen Street South is currently being converted to two-way operation. More information is provided on this in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
2.6 Queen Street Two-Way Conversion
Queen Street South is currently being converted to two-way operation between Aberdeen Avenue and Napier Street. Completion is scheduled for late 2020. To account for this, the report will assess Queen Street as follows:
Three-lane cross-section with two southbound lanes and one northbound lane;
At the Main Street West intersection: • one southbound left-turn lane; • one southbound through lane; and • one northbound shared through/right-turn lane
At the King Street West intersection: • one southbound through lane; • one southbound right-turn lane; and • one northbound left-turn lane.

3 Development Concept 3.1 Development Description
The subject site is located on the northeast corner of Main Street West and Queen Street South and consists of three parcels. At present, the site is occupied by three multi-storey buildings with surface parking provided in the rear. Access to the parcels is provided via private driveway connections to Main Street West and Queen Street South. The existing buildings and driveways will be removed to permit the redevelopment to proceed.
The applicant proposes to redevelop the site to include a 23-storey mixed-use building with:
321 residential units in a mix of studio, one and two bedroom units; 2 approximately 479 m (5,154 sq. ft.) of ground-floor retail space located as follows: • 314 m2 (3,380 sq. ft.) fronting Main Street West; and • approximately 165 m2 (1,774 sq. ft.) fronting George Street
A total of 119 parking spaces are proposed to serve the site.
Vehicle access is proposed via one all-turns private driveway connection to Queen Street South. Note that the site was originally planned with access to both Queen Street South and Main Street. After consultation with City staff, the applicant removed the proposed access to Main Street West to help ensure safe entry to and exit from the site.
The actual number of units and parking spaces will be adjusted to reflect current market conditions closer to the start of construction.
Buildout is expected to occur in 2024.
Figure 3.1 shows the proposed site plan.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition6 provides rates and equations to estimate the constituent component development peak hour traffic volumes. The following Land Use Codes (LUC) were utilized in this study:
LUC 222 – Multifamily Housing (High-Rise): Apartments, townhouses, and condominiums that have more than 10 levels (floors); and.
LUC 820 – Shopping Center: An integrated group of commercial establishments that is planned, developed, owned and managed as a unit.
The regression equations were used for LUC 222 as all criteria for their use were met. The average rates were utilized for LUC 820 due to the small size of the proposed commercial space.
The site is estimated to have a base trip generation of 108 AM peak hour trips and 137 PM peak hour trips.
Table 3.1 outlines the base trip generation for the site.

3.2.2 Internal Trips
The trip generation estimate for mixed-use developments should also take into consideration the onsite synergy between the residential and commercial portions of the development. To avoid double-counting site trips, an estimate of this synergy is deducted from the overall site trip generation.
The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) developed a methodology to estimate the extent to which trips made within mixed-use developments are internalized. The methodology is

Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 17 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
based on the widely used ITE method of internal capture; however, it has been expanded to include:
Rates for the AM peak hour;
Three additional land uses (to a total of six);
Effects of proximity between uses; and
Disaggregation of the six land uses to more detailed categories.
The inputs for this methodology include base trip generation, mode split estimates, vehicle occupancy rate and average walk distance between land use pairs.
For this analysis, the NCHRP methodology was used. The internal trip reduction was only applied to the mixed-use building in Block D along with a vehicle occupancy of 1.0 persons to produce a conservative analysis of the internal trip reduction.
Table 3.2 summarizes the resulting internal trip capture and indicates that two internal trips are expected during the AM peak hour and eight internal trips are expected during the PM peak hour. This results in an adjusted trip generation of 106 AM peak hour trips and 129 PM peak hour trips.

3.2.3 Pass-By Trips
The ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 3rd Edition8 has an allowance for pass-by trips which only apply to commercial/retail development. They are defined as trips that are already included in the background traffic

stream and do not load additional traffic onto the road network. This would include trips made on the way to a final destination, such as stopping for a coffee on the way to work. The ITE Handbook indicates that the pass-by trips will account for 26% of the PM peak hour shopping center trips. Note that a pass-by rate is not provided for the AM peak hour.

4 Evaluation of Future Traffic Conditions 4.1 Overview
The assessment of future traffic conditions contained in this section includes estimates of future background and total traffic volumes, and the analyses for the 2029 horizon (five years beyond buildout in 2024). The future traffic volumes in the vicinity of the development will consist of increased non-site traffic volumes (background traffic) and the traffic generated by the proposed development. 4.2 Background Traffic
4.2.1 General Background Traffic
During pre-study consultation, City staff indicated a future annual growth rate is not required for this analysis and the background developments proposed within the surrounding area will be sufficient in addressing potential background growth within the study area. City staff provided guidance on how to re-assign traffic to account for the two-way conversion of Queen Street: The existing AM and PM peak hour southbound volumes were inverted to represent the proportionate northbound volumes during the respective peak hour, assuming a configuration of two lanes southbound (67% of traffic) and one lane northbound (33% of traffic).
Figure 4.1 illustrates the 2029 general AM and PM peak hour background traffic volumes.
4.2.2 Other Area Developments
The City requested that the traffic generated by other “in-stream but not yet built” developments in the study area be included in the background traffic forecasts. The developments include 235 Main Street West, 354 King Street West and 15 Queen Street South. The traffic volumes generated by these developments, which were assumed to be completed by the 2029 horizon, are included in the background traffic forecasts. Figure 4.2 shows the other area development locations.

4.3 Analysis Parameters
Intersection level of service (LOS) is a recognized method of quantifying the delay experienced by drivers at intersections. The term “Level of Service” denotes how well a traffic movement operates under given traffic demands, lane arrangements, and traffic controls. Each level is determined by the average amount of control delay per vehicle. Control delay is the total delay associated with stopping for a signal or stop sign, and includes four components: deceleration delay, stopped delay, queue move up time and final acceleration delay.

Table 4.4 contains the level of service criteria for signalized and stop- controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual. As shown, LOS A indicates small average control delays (less than 10 second per vehicle) whereas LOS F indicates intersection failure, which results in extensive vehicular queues and long delays (over 50 seconds per vehicle at an unsignalized intersection, and over 80 seconds per vehicle at a signalized intersection). LOS D is typically considered acceptable peak-hour performance in an urban setting, and lower LOS values are tolerable for short periods during peak hours when heavier traffic volumes are expected.
TABLE 4.4: VEHICLE LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS
Signalized Unsignalized Level of Intersections Intersections Service Average Total Delay Average Total Delay (sec/veh) (sec/veh) A < = 10 < = 10 B > 10 & < = 20 > 10 & < = 15 C > 20 & < = 35 > 15 & < = 25 D > 35 & < = 55 > 25 & < = 35 E > 55 & < = 80 > 35 & < = 50 F > 80 > 50
In addition to delay, intersection traffic operations are also measured in terms of volume-to-capacity (v/c) ratios. The v/c ratio, also referred to as degree of saturation, represents the sufficiency of an intersection to accommodate the vehicular demand (v) based on the capacity (c), which is defined as the maximum rate at which vehicles can pass through a given point in an hour under prevailing conditions. As the v/c ratio approaches 1.0, traffic flow may become unstable, and delay and queuing conditions may occur. Once the demand exceeds the capacity (a v/c ratio greater than 1.0), traffic flow is unstable and excessive delay and queuing is expected.
Under the City’s TIS Guidelines, the following defines critical movements for intersections:
Volume to capacity (v/c) ratios for through movements or shared through/turning movements that operate at 0.85 or greater at signalized intersections;
Volume to capacity ratios for exclusive turning movements increase to 0.90 or greater at signalized intersections;
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 28 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
Level of service based on average delay per vehicle or individual movement is LOS D or greater for unsignalized intersections; and th Estimated 95 percentile queue lengths exceed available turning lane storage (both signalized and unsignalized intersections)
The operations of the study intersections under future background and total traffic conditions were evaluated using Synchro 9 with HCM 2000 procedures. The intersection analysis considered three separate measures of performance:
The LOS for each turning movement;
The volume to capacity (v/c) ratio for each turning movement; and
The 95th percentile queue lengths.
4.4 2029 Background Traffic Operations
The operations of intersections in the study area were evaluated with the background traffic volumes using Synchro 9 with HCM 2000 procedures and SimTraffic queue analyses. The signal timings at the Queen Street intersections with Main Street West and King Street West were based on the information contained within the City’s TIS guidelines and assumed a minimum green of 10 seconds, amber of 3.0 seconds and all red time of 1.5 seconds.
Note that the southbound approach at Main Street West and Queen Street South was modelled with through lane and a dedicated left-turn lane as this provided the highest level of service for this approach.
Table 4.5 summarizes the AM and PM peak hour background traffic intersection operations including the AM and PM peak hour LOS, v/c ratios, and 95th percentile queues lengths.
The results indicate that the study area intersections are forecast to operate as follows during the AM and PM peak hours:
King Street West and Queen Street South: • Overall intersection – LOS D with a v/c ratio of 1.00 during the AM peak hour and LOS C with a v/c ratio of 0.88 during the PM peak hour; • Westbound through movement – LOS D with a v/c ratio of 0.97 during the AM peak hour and LOS D with a v/c ratio of 0.92 during the PM peak hour;
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 29 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
• Northbound left-turn movement – LOS E with a v/c ratio of 0.97 during the AM peak hour; and • Southbound through movement – LOS E with a v/c ratio of 0.94 during the AM peak hour.
Queen Street South and George Street: • The intersection is forecast to operate within acceptable levels of service during the AM and PM peak hours with no critical movements.
Main Street West and Queen Street South: • Overall intersection – within acceptable levels of service and capacity during the AM and PM peak hours; • Eastbound through movement – LOS C with a v/c ratio of 0.85 during the AM peak hour; • Eastbound right-turn movement – the 95th percentile queue is forecast to exceed available storage by 88 metres during the AM peak hour and 83 metres during the PM peak hour; and • Southbound left-turn movement – LOS E with a v/c ratio of 0.90 during the AM peak hour.

4.5 2029 Future Total Traffic Operations Figure 4.4 illustrates the future total traffic volumes (total background traffic + site-generated traffic). The results indicate that the study area intersections are forecast to operate as follows during the AM and PM peak hours:
King Street West and Queen Street South: • Overall intersection – LOS D with a v/c ratio of 1.12 during the AM peak hour and LOS D with a v/c ratio of 0.93 during the PM peak hour; • Westbound through movement – LOS D with a v/c ratio of 0.97 during the AM peak hour and LOS D with a v/c ratio of 0.93 during the PM peak hour; • Northbound left-turn movement – LOS F with a v/c ratio of 1.16 during the AM peak hour; and • Southbound through movement – LOS E with a v/c ratio of 0.96 during the AM peak hour and LOS D with a v/c ratio of 0.88 during the PM peak hour.
Queen Street South and George Street: • The intersection is forecast to operate within acceptable levels of service during the AM and PM peak hours with no critical movements.
Main Street West and Queen Street South: • Overall intersection – LOS C with a v/c ratio of 0.85 during the AM peak hour; • Eastbound through movement – LOS C with a v/c ratio of 0.86 during the AM peak hour; • Eastbound right-turn movement – the 95th percentile queue is forecast to exceed available storage by 19 metres during the AM peak hour and 76 metres during the PM peak hour; and • Southbound left-turn movement – LOS E with a v/c ratio of 0.95 during the AM peak hour. Overall, inclusion of the site-generated traffic increases delay at the Queen Street South intersections with George Street and Main Street by no more than 4 seconds during the AM and PM peak hours. Inclusion of the site-generated traffic increases delay at the Queen Street South and King Street West intersection by eight seconds during the AM peak hour and four seconds during the PM peak hour.

4.5.1 SimTraffic Queue Analysis
As part of the analyses, Paradigm completed a queue assessment of the future total traffic volumes on Queen Street South to determine if queue spillback at King Street West or Main Street West would block the site driveway which is located approximately 40 metres north of Main Street West.
SimTraffic was utilized rather than Synchro in this assessment as microscopic models, such as SimTraffic, individually track each vehicle in the traffic system through the model and collect comprehensive operational measures of effectiveness for every vehicle during each 0.1 second of the simulation. Unlike Synchro, SimTraffic measures the full impact of queuing and blocking. Synchro is best used to determine level of service and delay at the macro level but is not ideal for assessments simulating real-world conditions.
The analysis consisted of five iterations of sixty-minute simulations to forecast the delay per vehicle in seconds. Based on the queue analysis, it is expected that the queues at the signalized intersections should not spill back and interfere with the site driveway. There is potential for minor queue interference northbound on Queen Street if a vehicle has to wait for southbound traffic to clear before turning westbound on George Street. However, the volume of traffic assigned to this movement is minimal so the impact should only be sporadic and short-term.
Appendix G provides the SimTraffic reports.

5 Remedial Measures The need for remedial measures, in the form of additional capacity, was not assessed since the study area is built-out. As well, it is expected the City will continue to monitor study area signal timing and phasing plans and adjust as necessary to ensure optimal levels of service are provided. As well, any signal timing and phasing modifications will have broader corridor impacts, the assessment of which is beyond the scope of this study.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 36 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
6 Parking Justification As with any equilibrium system, there are a minimum of two components that are required to be in balance to reach the equilibrium point. With parking systems, this requires the balance in parking supply and demand. Providing an appropriate supply is equally important as applying strategies to control demands. The oversupply of cheap and accessible has long been identified as a major contributing factor to the growth in single-occupant vehicle (SOV) travel.
6.1 Zoning By-Law Parking Requirements
The City of Hamilton Zoning By-law 05-200 (Downtown Zones) is the current in-force By-law for the proposed development. Based on this By-law, a total of 125 spaces, will be required to service the site. A total of 119 spaces are currently proposed. This is a deficit of five parking spaces, or 4% of the By-law required supply.
Table 6.1 outlines the site’s By-law parking requirements.
TABLE 6.1: ZONING BY-LAW 05-200 PARKING REQUIREMENTS

Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 37 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
As noted above, the site is forecast to have a parking deficit of five spaces (as currently planned). The applicant has indicated that as the site plan is refined, the actual parking deficit could increase to 10 total spaces, or 8% of the By-law required supply. Any additional deficit in parking may be offset by a reduction in the number or size of the residential units which may occur during the site plan application process.
6.2 Potential Parking Supply Reductions
Several factors could be taken into consideration when determining the final parking supply for the site. These include the proximity to the future rapid transit corridor, a robust onsite transportation demand management plan and onsite parking management measures.
The following outlines these factors and how they result in an overall reduction in parking required for the site.
6.2.1 Proximity to Future Rapid Transit Corridor
Transit oriented development does much more than just shift automobile trips to transit. People who live or work in communities with high quality public transit tend to own fewer automobiles and drive fewer annual miles than they otherwise would.
The development is located within walking distance of several existing bus routes, including an express route, and within 200 metres of the future rapid transit corridor on King Street West. As such, it is expected that it will attract residents that will utilize transit for primary commuting options rather than automobiles.
As per the City’s TDM guidelines, the proximity to transit with increased service level, such as those currently provided on the B-Line Express route and expected on the future rapid transit corridor services, can result in a 1% to 5% reduction in the required parking spaces. If a reduction of 4% (the current deficit) is granted, the site, as currently planned, will provide the total By-law required parking supply.
6.2.2 Transportation Demand Management Plan
The applicant has developed a comprehensive transportation demand management (TDM) plan for the site that will include:
Adequate onsite bike parking;
Lighted sidewalks;
Proximity to transit and bikeshare;
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 38 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
Onsite wayfinding and travel planning resources; and
Transit incentives
Provision of these measures will help increase travel by sustainable modes and decrease the need for residents to own a vehicle, resulting in a reduced demand for onsite parking.
The full site TDM plan is outlined in detail in Section 7.
Under By-law 05-200 Section 5.7 Bicycle Parking, the site is required to provide 0.5 long-term spaces per unit and a total of 10 short-term spaces (five each for the residential and commercial components). The site will provide at least the minimum supply of long-term and short- term bicycle parking required under By-law 05-200.
Additionally, the applicant will work with SoBi to examine the feasibility of providing an onsite station to provide convenient access to bicycles for both the development and surrounding community. This will help to encourage more sustainable travel and may result in lower auto ownership rates.
6.2.3 Parking Management Measures
To ensure an adequate supply of onsite parking for residents, the applicant will implement the following parking management measures:
Unbundled parking where a parking space and its associated costs are removed from the purchase price of a unit. Unbundling results in the purchase or lease of parking spaces by only those requiring them. Any surplus spaces would be available for use by other residents and possibly visitors;
Limiting the number of spaces a unit can purchase or lease to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of spaces;
Assigning parking spaces to residents to ensure those purchasing a space will have it available to them when needed; and
Renting/leasing available spaces to employees or residents until such time as they are purchased.
Overall, the site’s proximity to transit, comprehensive TDM plan and parking management measures should help ensure a consistent and adequate supply of onsite parking.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 39 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
6.3 Parking Summary
Overall, given the site’s proximity to alternative transportation options, a high Walk Score and implementation of a robust transportation demand management and parking plan, the proposed parking supply should adequately serve the site’s parking demand.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 40 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
7 TDM Measures The goal of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is to reduce the Project’s overall traffic and parking impact through the implementation of strategies that are aimed at affecting the transportation demand rather than the transportation supply (ex. improving bus service rather than increasing the number of lanes on a road). By their very nature, TDM strategies attempt to change people’s behavior, and to be successful, they must rely on incentives or disincentives to encourage the use of alternative modes of travel.
Strategies can also influence when trips are made. For example, alternative work hours (compressed work weeks, flex time, and telecommuting) can affect what time of day trips are made, or if trips occur at all on certain days. On an area-wide basis, the provision of park and ride facilities and transit services can also provide a competitive alternative to drive-alone commuting.
There are several reasons why incorporating TDM into a site is important:
Reduces auto ownership levels; therefore, reducing private vehicle trips and congestion;
Creates safe and attractive environments that encourage travel by walking, cycling and transit over auto; and
Supports the development of healthy communities.
The following sections outline the TDM initiatives that are planned for the subject site to potentially reduce the residence reliance on auto travel. This report was prepared using Section 3.D Mixed Use of the City’s guidelines10.
7.1 Surrounding Density and Built Form
The subject site is located within the City of Hamilton’s Ward 2 (Downtown). The profile for Ward 211 indicates the following:
Compared to Hamilton, Ward 2 has a lower proportion of single- detached houses (12% versus 57% for the entire City) and a much higher proportion of apartment type dwellings (80% versus 28%);
Compared to Hamilton, Ward 2 has a higher percentage of persons renting housing (76% versus 32% for the entire City);
10 TDM for Development, Prepared for City of Hamilton by IBI Group, June 2015 11 City of Hamilton Ward Profiles – Ward Profile 2
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 41 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
The majority of land mass within Ward 2 is: • Residential at approximately 33%; • Parking and open space at approximately 21%; and • Commercial/Office space at approximately 15%.
Ward 2 has a higher proportion of employed residents that use alternative modes of transportation to/from work compared to the rest of Hamilton: • Approximately 71% of Ward 2 residents work within the City; • Approximately 49% of Ward 2 residents drive to their place of work versus 76% for the entirety of Hamilton; and • Approximately 44% of Ward 2 residents use alternative modes of transportation (public transit, walk, cycle) to get to work compared to 16% for the entirety of Hamilton.
The existing land uses surrounding the subject site are predominantly residential and commercial.
7.2 Cycling
Bicycle parking is an important aspect to encourage the use of the surrounding cycling infrastructure. The City’s TDM guidelines specify the recommended number of bicycle parking spaces for mixed use developments:
Total spaces: 0.5 per dwelling unit or 5-20% of auto spaces (minimum of five, maximum of 50); cumulative total of all bicycle parking spaces required for each use on the lot.
To encourage the use of the nearby cycling facilities, the site will provide 160 long-term bike parking in the form of secure storage lockers located within the parking structure. A total of 10 short-term bicycle parking spaces will be provided via two multi-unit bike racks located at-grade near the building entrances and in close proximity to the bus stops.
This supply meets the total spaces requirement outline above and conforms to By-law 05-200 which requires 0.5 long-term bicycle parking spaces per unit, or 160 long-term spaces, plus 10 total short- term spaces. Note that the ultimate number of spaces will be adjusted based on the final unit count and will meet the By-law recommended supply.
The applicant plans to consult with SoBi Hamilton to determine the feasibility of adding an onsite station to further support cycling to/from the development and within the surrounding area.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 42 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
The provision of at least the minimum amount of both short-term and long-term bicycle parking spaces meets the TDM guide requirement and may make travel to/from the development by bike a more attractive option for both residents and visitors. As well, the site’s proximity to existing and planned cycling routes will help enhance the alternative transportation options available at the site. Overall, this could potentially result in a reduction in resident auto ownership and assumed parking demand.
7.3 Walking
The accessibility of a development is essential in helping to ensure that those that can walk, do. Proper pedestrian connections from the community to the site should be available to ensure safety and to increase the experience of those that choose to walk.
The site will provide direct connections to the municipal sidewalks surrounding the site. Where direct connections are not possible (rear or side of the building, etc.), onsite sidewalks will be provided to connect to Main Street West and Queen Street South. Other planned measures to help improve safety and the attractiveness of the pedestrian realm include:
Provision of adequate exterior lighting and overhead weather protection (in the form over overhangs or awnings) near the building’s entrances;
A landscaping plan that will create an attractive, high-quality public realm that encourages travel by alternative modes; and
Provision of benches near the building that will be sheltered by awnings or the building’s overhang, where possible.
7.4 Transit
The use of transit lowers reliance on the use of personal automobiles for trips that can be completed by convenient and desirable transit options. As previously discussed, six HSR transit routes and one GO Transit bus route provide service within 400 metres of the site. The closest stops are mainly located opposite the site on west side of Queen Street South at Main Street West, about 80 metres southwest of the site on Main Street West and at King Street West and Queen Street South about 180 metres north of the site. The existing transit amenities at these stops include:
Queen Street South: • a full-sized bus shelter;
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 43 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
• a bench for two persons inside the shelter; • a bench for three persons with an attached garbage/ recycling station outside the shelter; and • a public bike rack for up to six bikes
Main Street stops for HSR and GO transit: • a garbage can
The King Street shared HSR and GO Transit stop: • a half shelter (overhang); • a bench for two persons; and • a garbage can
The site’s proximity to existing transit and the future rapid transit corridor help make transit an attractive mode choice for both residents and visitors. Overall, this could potentially result in a reduction in resident auto ownership and assumed parking demand.
To further support transit usage by residents, the applicant will provide a kiosk or display board within the building’s lobby where transit information such as a route map and individual schedules will be available. As well, an introductory Presto card loaded with a small amount ($10) to cover the cost of a few “starter” trips will be provided with each unit purchase.
7.5 Parking
The City’s TDM Policy provides guidelines indicating that reducing parking spaces with the intent of encouraging other uses of transportation is possible. However, one should be cautious and not reduce the number of parking spaces to a point in which significant issues are created. Managing parking supply helps to reduce the undesirable impacts of parking demand on local and regional traffic and can result in positive impacts on community livability and design.
The City’s TDM guide recommends that only the minimum required number of parking spaces as outlined within the current in-force By-law are provided to encourage employees, residents and visitors to use sustainable travel modes.
As outlined in Section 6 Parking Justification, the site’s proposed parking supply will be deficient by about five spaces. Therefore, the site is supportive of TDM in that it provides no more than the minimum number of spaces. Additionally, the site’s proximity to transit is supportive of a reduced onsite parking requirement.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 44 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
The applicant will unbundle parking spaces from the units. Unbundling parking means that a parking space and its associated costs are removed from the purchase price of a unit so only those requiring a space will buy one. As well, the number of spaces a unit can purchase may be limited and any unsold spaces may be rented to tenants until such time as they are purchased.
7.6 Carpool
The applicant does not intend to provide onsite carpool parking spaces.
7.7 Carshare and Bikeshare
The applicant does not intend to provide onsite carsharing spaces or vehicles.
The applicant will work with SoBi to examine the feasibility of providing an onsite station to provide convenient access to bicycles for both the development and surrounding community. This will help to encourage more sustainable travel and may result in lower auto ownership rates.
7.8 Wayfinding and Travel Planning
The applicant will be providing the following wayfinding and travel planning measures:
Lobby signage directing residents to alternative and active transportation facilities such as transit and cycling/bikeshare;
A lobby kiosk or display board will be provided where alternative and active transportation information will be readily available. This will include items such as cycling and transit route maps, transit schedules and carshare/bikeshare information; and
Providing a “Welcome Package” to new residents containing information on the surrounding alternative and active transportation options as well as an introductory Presto card loaded with a small amount ($10) which is enough to cover the cost of a few “starter” trips.
These resources will help to increase awareness of the sustainable transportation opportunities available within the area.
7.9 Education/Promotion and Incentives
In addition to provision of a pre-loaded Presto pass, the applicant will highlight the TDM elements in the sales and marketing materials,
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 45 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
specifically the proximity to transit and cycling facilities to encourage employees, residents and visitors to use sustainable transportation modes.
7.10 TDM Conclusion
The proposed redevelopment, with nearby connections to transit and bicycle facilities has the potential to be very accessible. Further enhancing these elements inside and outside the boundaries of the site will ensure these opportunities do not go unused. The City’s outcomes for incorporating TDM with new development include the following:
Promoting more attractive streetscapes that are inclusive and inviting for everyone;
Developing neighbourhoods and districts with a variety of uses that allow people to live and work in closer proximity;
Preserving streets and public space for a more balanced transportation system; and
Promoting public health and active lifestyles.
Incorporation of the above TDM measures, such as provision of adequate onsite bike parking, lighted sidewalks, proximity to transit and bikeshare, onsite wayfinding and travel planning resources and transit incentives, can assist in further mitigating the site’s impact on the adjacent road network, promote a strong and vibrant economy, and create a livable community that has a balanced transportation network that accommodates all modes of transportation. As well, these incentives are a marketing tool the applicant can use to increase awareness of the site’s TDM elements and their desire to reduce single auto trips.
To further help promote and encourage TDM, it is recommended the applicant undertake the following:
Consult with SoBi to discuss the feasibility of providing an onsite bikeshare station; and
Develop a TDM monitoring program to ensure the onsite facilities and amenities are meeting the needs of employees, residents and visitors.

8 Conclusions and Recommendations 8.1 Conclusions
Based on the investigations carried out, it is concluded that: Existing Traffic Operations As per City staff direction, the operations of the study area intersections were not evaluated under existing conditions since Queen Street South is currently being converted to two-way operation.
Development Trip Generation The development is forecast to have a base trip generation of 108 AM peak hour trips and 137 PM peak hour trips. When adjusted to account for onsite synergy between land uses and pass-by trips, the site is forecast to generate 106 new AM peak hour trips and 125 new PM peak hour trips. Background Traffic Operations Under 2029 background traffic conditions, Queen Street South and George Street is forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service during the AM and PM peak hours. The following critical values are forecast at remaining study area intersections:
King Street West and Queen Street South: • Overall intersection – AM and PM peak hour; • Westbound through movement – AM and PM peak hour; • Northbound left-turn movement – AM peak hour; and • Southbound through movement – AM peak hour.
Main Street West and Queen Street South: • Eastbound through movement – AM peak hour; • Eastbound right-turn movement – AM and PM peak hour; and • Southbound left-turn movement – AM peak hour.
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 47 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
Future Total Traffic Operations Under 2029 future total traffic, the study area intersections are forecast to operate similar to background conditions.
Overall, inclusion of the site-generated traffic increases delay at the Queen Street South intersections with George Street and Main Street by no more than 4 seconds during the AM and PM peak hours. Inclusion of the site-generated traffic increases delay at the Queen Street South and King Street West intersection by eight seconds during the AM peak hour and four seconds during the PM peak hour.
SimTraffic Queue Analysis Based on the SimTraffic queue assessment, the surrounding study area intersection queues should not spillback and impact the site driveway operations.
Remedial Measures The need for remedial measures, in the form of additional capacity, was not assessed since the study area is built-out. As well, it is expected the City will continue to monitor study area signal timing and phasing plans and adjust as necessary to ensure optimal levels of service are provided. Parking Justification Zoning By-Law Parking Requirements The Downtown Zones of City of Hamilton Zoning By-law 05-200 is the current in-force By-law for the proposed redevelopment. Based on this By-law, a total of 124 parking spaces will be required to service the site. A total of 119 spaces are proposed. This is a deficit of five spaces, or 4% of the By-law required supply.
Proximity to Future Rapid Transit Corridor
The subject site is located within 180 metres of an express bus rout and the future rapid transit corridor on King Street West. As per the TDM guidelines, this can result in a 1% to 5% reduction in the required parking spaces. If a reduction of 4% (the current deficit) is granted, the site, as currently planned, will provide the total By-law required parking supply.
Walk Score and Bike Share
The subject site’s high Walk Score of 90 and close proximity to eight SoBi bicycle stations makes the site attractive to for residents who do

not need to own or use a vehicle, thereby reducing the site’s parking demand.
Transportation Demand Management Plan
The applicant has developed a comprehensive transportation demand management (TDM) plan for the site that will help increase travel by sustainable modes and decrease the need for residents to own a vehicle, thereby reducing the demand for onsite parking.
Parking Management Measures
To ensure an adequate supply of onsite parking, the applicant will unbundle parking spaces from the units, limit the number of spaces a unit can purchase or lease, assign parking spaces to residents and rent/lease spaces to residents until they are purchased.
Parking Supply Summary
Overall, given the site’s proximity to alternative transportation options, a high Walk Score and implementation of parking management measures, the proposed parking supply should adequately serve the site’s parking demand
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Measures The proposed TDM measures for the site include:
Adequate onsite bike parking;
Lighted sidewalks;
Proximity to transit and bikeshare;
Onsite wayfinding and travel planning;
Enhanced onsite pedestrian amenities including benches, landscaping and lighting;
Weather protected waiting areas; and
Transit incentives
As well, the site is located in Ward 2 which, according to the City’s Ward Profile, has a higher proportion of employed residents that use alternative modes of transportation to/from work compared to the rest of Hamilton. It is reasonable to assume the residents of this development will have similar commuting and travel mode patterns. The ward profile data indicates:
Approximately 71% of Ward 2 residents work within the City;
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited | Page 49 115-117 George Street and 220 & 222 Main Street West, Hamilton | TIS, PJ and TDM | 190675 | September 2020
Approximately 49% of Ward 2 residents drive to their place of work versus 76% for the entirety of Hamilton; and
Approximately 44% of Ward 2 residents use alternative modes of transportation (public transit, walk, cycle) to get to work compared to 16% for the entirety of Hamilton.
These measures will assist in mitigating the site’s impact on the adjacent road network, promote a strong and vibrant economy, and create a livable community that has a balanced transportation network that accommodates all modes of transportation.
8.2 Recommendations
Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that:
The City of Hamilton recognize the conclusions drawn above;
The site be allowed to be developed as planned;
The applicant consult with SoBi to discuss the feasibility of providing an onsite bikeshare station;
The applicant implement the following parking management strategies at the site: • Unbundle parking from the unit purchase price to ensure only those requiring parking purchase a space; • Limit the number of parking spaces that can be purchased by each unit; • Assign parking spaces to residents; and • Rent surplus spaces to residents until such time as they are purchased
The applicant implements the TDM program outlined above and continue to monitor and adjust the program as needed.
