Appendix C Archaeological Reports APPENDIX C ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPORTS January 15, 2016 ORIGINAL REPORT Archaeological Overview of the Proposed O-Train Extension, Greenboro Station to Riverside South, Ottawa, Ontario Submitted to: Peter Steacy, P.Eng. MMM Group Limited 1145 Hunt Club Road, Suite 300 Ottawa, Ontario K1V 0Y3 Report Number: 1401140 (5000) Distribution: 1 e-copy - MMM Group Limited REPORT 1 copy - Golder Associates Ltd. ARCHAEOLOGICAL OVERVIEW O-TRAIN EXTENSION - GREENBORO STATION TO RIVERSIDE SOUTH Executive Summary The Executive Summary highlights key points from this Archaeological Overview only, for complete information and findings as well as limitations, the reader should examine the complete report. MMM Group Limited (MMM) retained Golder Associates Limited (Golder) to undertake an Archaeological Overview of the proposed O-Train Extension including a section which extends from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road). The section is located in the historic Township of Gloucester, Carleton County, City of Ottawa, within parts of Lots 3 to 19 Concession 3, and Lots 18 and 19 Gore between Concession 2 and 3. The objectives of this Archaeological Overview will be to identify previous archaeological work conducted in the area and to provide recommendations, based on the previous work, as to what further archaeological assessments may be necessary, such as Stage 1, 2, 3 or 4 assessments. The overview will provides maps indicating areas of: previous archaeological study, registered archaeological sites, and recommendations for further archaeological assessment. A pre-contact and historical summary of the east Ottawa area has been provided for context, as well as three informative historical maps dating to 1825, 1863 and 1879. The results of this Archaeological Overview have formed the basis for the following recommendations: 1) That a detailed and current Stage 1 archaeological assessment is recommended for the area of the O-Train extension from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road). This recommendation is in agreement with the previous report: “Stage 1 Archaeological & Heritage Assessment of the proposed North-South Corridor Light Rail Transit Project, Geographic Townships of Gloucester & Nepean, City of Ottawa”. The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) has also recommended that a specific Stage 1 archaeological assessment for the Greenboro Station to Riverside South section of the extension is the most appropriate approach (e-mail communication, Sept. 16, 2014). This recommended Stage 1 archaeological assessment would take into consideration areas of previous archaeological assessments, as well as areas where significant ground disturbance has occurred, such as: utility lines, roads, buildings and parking lots (Map 6, p.17). This recommended Stage 1 archaeological assessment should take precedence over the other assessments noted below. This recommended Stage 1 archaeological assessment will provide information about the property’s geography, history, previous archaeological fieldwork and current land conditions. Most importantly this assessment will be consistent with the current MTCS’ Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (2011). The report will also provide recommendations for archaeological assessment(s), if deemed necessary. January 15, 2016 Report No. 1401140 (5000) i ARCHAEOLOGICAL OVERVIEW O-TRAIN EXTENSION - GREENBORO STATION TO RIVERSIDE SOUTH 2) That Stage 2 archaeological assessments as recommended in Heritage Quest Inc’s/Golder’s 2006 report be conducted. This assessment affects an area south of Hunt Club Road to the airport link; Concession 3 Lots 6 to 9 (Map 6, p.17), and an area at the southern end of the O-Train Extension; Concession 3 Lots 19 and 19 (Map 6, p.17). As this assessment and recommendations were accepted before the MTCS’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists, the methodology of the Stage 2 archaeological assessment may very slightly from that outlined in Heritage Quest Inc’s/Golder’s previous report. 3) That a Stage 2 archaeological assessment as recommended in Ground Truth Archaeology’s 2006 report be conducted. This assessment affects the southern end of the O-Train Extension; Lots 18 and 19, Concession 3 and Lots 18 and 19 Gore, between Concession 2 and 3 (Map 6, p.17). Other archaeological assessments have occurred within this area and have been completed and require no further work (see below for further information and Map 6, p.17) As this assessment and recommendations were accepted before the MTCS’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists, the methodology of the Stage 2 archaeological assessment may very slightly from that outlined in Ground Truth Archaeology’s report. 4) That the additional study areas noted in this overview (Map 6, p.17) are free of cultural heritage value and do not require further assessment.

  • Appendix 5 Station Descriptions And
    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

Please join me and City staff at an information session to learn more about what the City is doing to prevent the spread of the emerald ash borer and how you can help mitigate the impact of this insect on our ash trees. The presence of emerald ash borer poses a serious threat to 25 percent of the City’s forest cover located on both public and private properties. The information sessions are scheduled for: Date: April 12, 2012 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Location: Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive, Andrew Haydon Hall Date: April 23, 2012 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Location: Jim Durrell Recreation Centre, 1264 Walkley Road, Ellwood Hall St. Patrick’s Home Construction My office worked with City of Ottawa Traffic Management staff to resolve concerns associated with construction activity at 2865 Riverside Drive (St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa).
