The study’s goal is a transportation solution that addresses existing problems and opportunities in the Bayview Avenue corridor. The Preferred Plan identified during the study supports planned Regional growth in population and employment, improves mobility for all corridor users and provides improved connectivity within the Regional transportation network. The Class EA Study was carried out in accordance with Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011, and 2015). The Class EA process is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and outlines the process whereby municipalities can comply with the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This Environmental Study Report (ESR) documents the decision-making process carried out during the Class EA study. Bayview Avenue is a major north-south arterial road that connects many municipalities including the City of Toronto, the City of Markham, the Town of Richmond Hill and the Town of Newmarket, where Bayview Avenue becomes Prospect Street. The Bayview Avenue Class EA study area length is approximately 10 km, from Steeles Avenue in the south to Elgin Mills Road in the north. Within the study area, Bayview Avenue is an integral part of the community fabric of Markham and Richmond Hill. Numerous schools, places of worship, commercial/shopping areas, the Thornhill Community Centre and residential neighbourhoods are located on or accessed by Bayview Avenue. Areas of urban redevelopment are occurring along or near Bayview Avenue. Richmond Hill / Langstaff Gateway Urban Growth Centre and Observatory Hill are the largest and densest areas however there are several other smaller scale redevelopments occurring between Highway 7 and Elgin Mills Road, within Richmond Hill. Regional Municipality of York Bayview Avenue – Steeles Avenue to Elgin Mills Road E-1 Environmental Study Report | WSP | MMM Group | August 2017 Within the study area Bayview Avenue has two crossings of CN Rail tracks: 1) an underpass (road under rail) located just north of Laureleaf Crescent; and 2) an overpass (road over rail) located just north of Royal Orchard Drive. Bayview Avenue is currently heavily used by motorists with limited provisions for buses, cyclists and pedestrians. York Region Transit (YRT) Route 91 operates on Bayview Avenue between Bethesda Sideroad and Finch TTC Subway station. According to YRT, Route 91 is the 5th busiest route in the Region. Within the study area, Bayview Avenue is four lanes from Steeles Avenue to Langstaff Road, six lanes from Langstaff Road to High Tech Road and then transitions back to four lanes north of Bantry / Briggs Avenue. North of the study area, York Region is currently widening Bayview Avenue from two to four lanes between Elgin Mills Road and Stouffville Road and has EA approval to widen to four lanes between Stouffville Road and Bloomington Road. South of the study area, within the City of Toronto, Bayview Avenue is four lanes. Planning Context The policy context is discussed in Chapter 2 of the ESR. The policy framework guides infrastructure, land use planning and strategic investment decisions to support Regional growth and transportation objectives. These policies are in place to sustain and improve the quality of life for Region residents. The identification of study area problems and opportunities along with the assessment of the project’s need and justification were carried out with due consideration of the policy framework to ensure that the Preferred Plan is consistent with the policies and objectives of the various levels of government (i.e., regional and provincial). The key plans and policies include: Growth Plan (2017) Provincial Policy Statement (2014) York Region Vision 2051 York Region Strategic Plan (2015-2019) York Region Transportation Master Plan (2016) York Region Official Plan (2010) York Region Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan (2008) City of Markham Official Plan (2014) Regional Municipality of York Bayview Avenue – Steeles Avenue to Elgin Mills Road E-2 Environmental Study Report | WSP | MMM Group | August 2017 City of Markham Transportation Planning Study (2002) City of Markham Pathway and Trails Master Plan (2009) Town of Richmond Hill Official Plan (July 2010) Town of Richmond Hill Transportation Master Plan (2006) Town of Richmond Hill Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan Study (2010) Richmond Hill / Langstaff Gateway Urban Growth Centre Yonge and Steeles Corridor Secondary Plan The York Region Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is the most important guidance document for the Bayview Avenue Class EA study and relevant aspects of the TMP are discussed in in Chapter 2 of this ESR and highlighted here. The TMP was developed to provide a framework for making decisions related to the transportation system up to 2041. It is the Region’s vision to “preserve and enhance York Region’s sustainable natural environment, support York Region’s economic vitality, and encourage healthier neighbourhoods and communities”. Transportation Assessment The detailed assessment of existing and future traffic conditions is presented in Chapter 2. The findings of the traffic conditions review and a summary of the policy framework provided in Chapter 2 of the ESR and below: Traffic congestion continues to be identified as the top issue facing York Region residents. The delivery of an interconnected system of mobility is supported by the progressive objectives, policies and actions embedded in many of the Region’s Council-approved plans and documents, including Vision 2051, the York Region Official Plan (2010), the 2015 to 2019 Strategic Plan, as well as the previous 2002 and 2009 Transportation Master Plans and the 2008 Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan. The 2016 TMP update builds on this policy and planning framework to guide transportation projects and programs that will continue to improve mobility. Corridor Evolution is one of the five main policy areas in the TMP which directs the most effective use of road space to accommodate a variety of travel modes, Regional Municipality of York Bayview Avenue – Steeles Avenue to Elgin Mills Road E-3 Environmental Study Report | WSP | MMM Group | August 2017 including transit vehicles, passenger cars and trucks as well as cyclists and pedestrians. The Region’s strategy includes: o Maximizing Person Carrying Capacity: reducing the number of people driving in single occupant vehicles is critical to managing congestion. HOV lanes is one strategy for increasing person capacity and also to support a shift from single occupant vehicle use. Building out the HOV network is a key objective of the TMP. o Increasing Capacity to Serve Development: new and expanded roads will be required to serve planned growth areas. Most of the Region’s four lane arterial roads have been identified for future widening to six lanes in order to accommodate transit and HOV initiatives, which would maximize the person carrying capacity and eliminate pinch points and bottlenecks. A six lane road reflects the Region’s current policy of expanding capacity through the addition of Transit/HOV or transit-only lanes. In the TMP, Bayview Avenue is identified as part of the Frequent Transit Network and is prioritized for implementation in 2017 based on route ridership, relationship to the VIVA Network Expansion Plan (VNEP) and the Regional Express Rail network and connection to GO Stations. The proposed future six lane widening, which will expand the HOV network, will support the Frequent Transit Network. The FTN on Bayview Avenue will support the Rapid Transit Corridors on: o Major Mackenzie Drive between Markham Road and Jane Street; o Leslie Street between Steeles Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive; o Yonge Street between Highway 7 to Green Lane in the town of Newmarket; o Highway 7 across the Region (Reesor Road to Highway 50); and o Steeles Avenue between Jane Street and Kennedy Road. The TMP recommends the widening of Bayview Avenue between Steeles Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive to accommodate the implementation of Transit/HOV lanes, and the mid-block capacity utilization analysis carried out as part of this Class EA study supports the widening of Bayview Avenue throughout the entire project limits between Elgin Mills Road and Steeles Avenue. Detailed intersection capacity and level of service analysis that was also carried out as part of the Class EA study demonstrated the need for widening from Elgin Mills Road to Steeles Avenue.

Leaside is a thriving midtown suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada situated just to the west and north of the Don River. Leaside’s distinctive cultural heritage landscape evolved from the overlaying of the following: the natural and pre-settlement landscape, the agricultural settlement landscape, the mod- el town designed in 1912 by Frederick Todd, the ensuing residential develop- ment of the late 1920s to the 1950s, and its contemporary development Pre-settlement Landscape The Leaside area was affected by a series of ancient Ice Ages, which covered cover: Aerial orthographic photo of Leaside, 1942 above: Courtyard, Garden Court Apartments the land with a succession of glaciers and large lakes.

  • Attachment Mts-04
    IN THE MATTER OF the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, C. 15, (Schedule B); AND IN THE MATTER OF an Application by Canadian Distributed Antenna Systems Coalition for certain orders under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL STARKEY ON BEHALF OF TORONTO HYDRO-ELECTRIC SYSTEM LIMITED (“THESL” or “Toronto Hydro”) ATTACHMENT MTS-04 ATTACHMENT MTS-04 Attachment MTS-04 Listing of Cellular/PCS/AWS Station Sites Within 25 Kms. of the Center of Toronto MTS-04 is intended to identify the physical locations (i.e., station sites) of all antennas licensed for radio-transmission within the cellular/PCS/AWS frequency bands that are within 25 kilometers of the center of Toronto. Attachment MTS-04 was developed as follows. Step 1: The Attachment MTS-03 dataset served as staring point. Because that dataset includes antenna arrays that may be operated by different carriers at the same station site, it was necessary to eliminate multiple records for the same station site. The first step in that process involved concatenating the latitude and longitude fields into a single number and sorting on this new field. A simple @IF formula (i.e., if lat-long field of current record = lat-long field of previous record, flag as a duplicate) was then applied to compare successive records’ concatenated latitude-longitude fields and remove all duplicates (which represent multiple antenna arrays collocated at the same station site), so that only a single unique record remained for each location (latitude/longitude). Step 2: However, we also encountered numerous instances in which the various wireless operators had entered non-identical latitude-longitude and/or street address information on the records they supplied to the ALS database for what were clearly intended to represent the same station locations.

  • Bayview Avenue Extension Project
    Bayview Avenue Extension Project Submission to:: Transportation Association of Canada for the Environmental Achievement Award 2002 Abstract The Bayview Avenue Extension project is a deserving candidate for the 2002 Environmental Achievement Award for its innovative design used to minimize environmental impacts, at the same time, improving environmental features and enhancing knowledge of locally significant ecosystem elements, in particular a nationally threatened amphibian species. The project features these innovative environmental achievements: Environmentally Responsible Road Alignment successfully mitigated impacts to the nearby Jefferson Forest, Lake Wilcox, Forester March and adjacent wetland areas. Wetland Habitat Creation Project led to the development of diverse habitat zones for a variety of animal and plant species. Amphibian Roadway Crossings were specifically designed to protect and enhance the amphibian population, in particular the Jefferson Salamander, while adding to research and knowledge base of a rare, nationally threatened species. Jefferson Ravine Bridge Crossing provides unimpeded passage for large and small mammals, including white-tailed deer, reptiles and amphibians, working with existing topography to achieve a unique crossing feature. Extensive Vegetation and Landscaping Enhancements screen nearby sensitive areas from roadway intrusions and provided intensified buffering to disturbed areas. Detailed Environmental Analysis was completed to ensure complete compliance with environmental legislation for the Oak Ridges Moraine. Project Details - Bayview Avenue Extension • Four-kilometre, two-lane rural arterial road • Grading constructed for an ultimate four-lane facility • Located within the Town of Richmond Hill and is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine • Total gross expenditures for the project approximately $ 16 million • Fully funded and maintained by the Regional Municipality of York.
