Item #Page # 14H) Agenda Item #Page # 14h) Appendix D Regional Partnerships London International Airport The City of London and the Southwest Economic Alliance have endorsed a strategy for a central intermodal facility to combine regional, national and International freight at the London International Airport. With the recent Federal authorization of the London International Airport as an International Transshipment Centre and the CanadalEuropean Union (EU) Open Skies agreement of passenger and airfreight access, the Greater London International Airport Authority, the City of London and SWEA are developing a comprehensive regional transportation plan to position Southwest Ontario as an international freight gateway. This proposal has also received endorsement from the London Chamber of Commerce. The provision of essential servicing and infrastructure investment in 2009 and 2010 will create construction jobs and continuing revenues. The London International Airport area is readily accessible from Highway 401 via Veterans Memorial Parkway. It includes substantial tracts of zoned, serviceable and available industrial land making it an ideal location for a multi-modaVtrans-shipment facility. The City of London is collaborating with the London Airport Authority on the planning, servicing and development of this area with a focus on transportation-related uses. Planned Pickering Airport Expansion and London Airport The Greater Toronto Airport Authority continues to propose plans to open a Pickering Airport facility on the assembled lands in the Eastern portion of the GTA. This plan is opposed by a variety of municipalities and citizen groups. A further advantage for the London airport is London’s capability to expand both as a passenger, but more importantly a cargo hub that could provide significant offloading of capacity from Pearson International and offer relief to the anticipated congestion. The opportunity is to provide Regional economic infrastructure investment funding of $15M in 2009 for immediate construction by the Airport Authority. This single project has four components that are fully developed and available to proceed immediately. This investment will leverage an expansion of the existing 1700 direct jobs and $357M annually in direct economic benefits now provided by the London International Airport. Airport project plan 2009 completion - Land servicing of 80 acres in SkyWay Industrial Park $4M - Development of an International Export Distribution Centre $5M - Development of an International Flight Training Centre $5M - Development of barrier free access to aircraft loading bridges to provide safe and dignified air access for disabled travellers. $1 M Airport development project background 1. Land Servicing SkyWay Industrial Park - Estimated cost: $4M, with 200 jobs The London International Airport and the City of London have a joint venture development and marketing agreement for 200 acres of land named the SkyWay Industrial Park. Both parties have contributed more than $8M in the servicing and development of phase one that has supported two new corporate head offices, several aircraft hangars, a research wind tunnel by the University of Western Ontario and several manufacturing and distribution centres. Phase 2 of development is designed and ready for immediate construction with completion in 2009. This final phase includes the completion servicing of lands including Agenda item # Page # i-t- ck\i grading, water, sewer, communications and electrical services. This also includes upgrades and extensions to three roads and the extension of four taxiways. A Federal investment of $4M would complete the airport land servicing and road access in support of further aviation and industrial development. This project is designed and approved for immediate construction. 2. Export Distribution Centre - Estimated Cost: $5M, with 400 jobs The London International Airport has been certified in 2008 by the Federal government as an International Export Distribution Centre. With recent Canada / EU agreement on open skies an investment of $5M would complete the airport distribution land servicing and development of the first common use Federal Export Distribution Centre. This would create significant jobs and support industry in Southwestern Ontario with direct lower cost transportation. This project includes the construction of two common use export distribution centres at 6800 square feet each, servicing of 25 acres of land including grading, water, sewer, communications and electrical services. This also includes upgrades and extensions to roads and the restoration and extension of Bravo taxiway. This project is designed and approved for immediate construction. 3. International Flight Training Centre - Estimated Cost: $5M, with 200 jobs In two years five companies have been started that offer International Pilot training services. Over three hundred students and fifty aircraft are dedicated to delivery of this program. Significant economic development and jobs have been created in support of this emerging industry. Providing one centralised airport facility to provide the training for students from China, India and North America would provide modern, cost effective facilities. This common use facility would be managed by the Airport Authority in support of area economic development, training and retraining of displaced workers. A significant expansion of the program would be undertaken. This project includes the construction of two common use training and hangar facilities at ten thousand square feet each, servicing of ten acres of lands including grading, water sewer, communications and electrical services. This also includes one new taxiway. This project is designed and approved for immediate construction. 4. Essential passenger services - Estimated Cost: $lM Disabled and elderly passengers are unable to use the two jet aircraft loading bridges based on a lack of mechanical elevating devices. This investment would provide safe and dignified access to all facilities for all passengers. The two aircraft loading bridges were purchased as surplus from Pearson International Airport and are connected to the Air Terminal Building. There is no connection for elderly and disabled passengers who are unable to walk on the available ramp inclines. As a result none of the airlines will use the loading bridges for just some passengers. This requires all passengers to board and deplane from aircraft stairs in outdoor conditions. A project has been developed and designed to add two elevator devices to these services. This would provide a safe and protected egress for all passengers and a dignified service for disabled travellers. This project is designed and approved for immediate construction. Each of these projects is a high visibility project that is designed and ready for implementation start upon contribution funding approval. They all add tremendous value in construction and ongoing jobs. These projects have been endorsed by a coalition of Mayors from South Western Ontario, the Mayor of the City of London, London Chamber of Commerce and Members of Parliament Ed Holder and Joe Preston. Veterans Memorial Parkway (VMP) Veteran’s Memorial Parkway (VMP) and Highway 401 Interchange expansions To assist the Airport in becoming a gateway for international trade, one area that would provide a prime location for upgrades and development would be the VMP and 401 access areas between VMP and Highbury Ave. Stimulus funding to support road infrastructure could be used to begin implementation of VMP upgrading to increase capacity and lower travel times, and integrating the VMP-401 interchange with Wilton Agenda Item # Page # /-/- (b\ Grove Road. Wilton Grove Road could be upgraded back to Highbury Avenue and the anticipated upgrades to Highbury Avenue and the 401 that the MTO indicates will be required could also be implemented. This would provide a significant area for logistics at Hwy 401 and offer enhanced access to the VMP based businesses, Innovation Park and the airport. The VMP implementation would also provide the Eastern leg of the enhanced ring road for the City. Proposed Action: Continue to work with partners to build funding support for this initiative. Agenda Item # Page # /Lfw Appendix E Lonqer Range Regional Partnershim Multi-Modal Facility All container goods requiring intermodal capability today are integrated in the GTA or Detroit by both CN and CP. Large numbers of firms in Southwest Ontario are shipping goods to the GTA which are then loaded on rail and run back though the region on the rail lines. An intermodal terminal for Southwest Ontario would enhance the logistics capability for the entire region. At this time, neither CP or CN are interested in a business model looking at intermodal on a standalone basis. To the west of London, all three main lines of CP, CN Sarnia and CN Windsor meet at the 402 west of Komoka. A 3P public-private-partnership including both railways and government, with additional support from stakeholders would offer a great opportunity to add to the region’s capability. The site would offer companies the capability to use the new logistics locations in London and the region. It would also be another key point for allowing the integration of cargo for the Double Rig capability. Federal and provincial government as well as private sector participation in the planning and funding of a major multi-modal logistics centre would be needed to make this happen. Positioning London as a major logistics centre along the trade corridor

  • Committee of the Whole Speed Limit Review
    JANUARY 28, 2014 Page 1 of 18 11 B.1 - CW ACTION COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE For meeting to be held on: Submitted by: For: January 28, 2014 Chris Traini Action County Engineer Subject: SPEED LIMIT REVIEW BACKGROUND County staff review speed limits on County roads from time to time based on changes to the roadside environment due to development, changes in the alignment of the road resulting from reconstruction, observations by staff, or by citizen, police or municipal request. ANALYSIS County staff is recommending the following speed limit adjustments: County Road 27 (Nissouri Road) & County Road 28 (Thorndale Road) - Thorndale: Significant commercial and residential development in Thorndale has resulted in increased traffic volumes, which necessitated the installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Nissouri and Thorndale Roads in 2012. It is recommended that the existing 50 km/hr zone at the west limit of Thorndale be extended past this intersection, and a new 60 km/hr zone be posted north and south of the intersection on Nissouri Road from the access to the industrial area to the new subdivision road intersection north of Thorndale Road. A citizen request to extend or reduce the posted speed limit to the east of Thorndale was reviewed but no changes are recommended at this time. County Road 15 (Carriage Road): A number of requests have been made from Middlesex OPP to reduce the 90 km/hr zone to a new speed limit of 80 km/hr. This would match the posted speed limit on the sections of road north of Longwoods Road and south of Littlewood Drive which are under the jurisdiction of Middlesex Centre.
