Racher MTCS Licence #P007 PIF #P007-0892-2018 ARA File #2018-0098 and #2018-0174 10/05/2019 Original Report Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessments Shantz Station Pit, Township of Woolwich, Regional Municipality of Waterloo i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Under a contract awarded in March 2018, Archaeological Research Associates Ltd. carried out Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessments of lands proposed for aggregate extraction and associated infrastructure under the Shantz Station Pit project at 1175, 1195 Foerster Road and 1472 Village View Road in the Township of Woolwich, Regional Municipality of Waterloo, Ontario. The assessments were completed as part of a permit application under the Aggregate Resources Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.8, as required by Policy No. 2.01.08 of the Aggregate Resources Policies and Procedures Manual (MNRF 2018). This report documents the background research and fieldwork involved in the assessments, and presents conclusions and recommendations pertaining to archaeological concerns within the assessed lands. The Stage 1 and 2 assessments were conducted in May 2018 under Project Information Form #P007-0892-2018. The investigation encompassed the majority of the licensed boundary, as well as additional adjacent lands that were previously considered for the project. Due to deteriorating field conditions and poor weather, three areas within the licensed boundary were not assessed during the 2018 season and represent outstanding archaeological concerns. Legal permission to enter and conduct all necessary fieldwork activities within the assessed lands was granted by the property owner. At the time of assessment, the study area consisted of agricultural fields, woodlots, an extant farmstead complete with residence, outbuildings and gravel driveway, grassed laneways and the Hopewell Creek riparian zone. The Stage 1 assessment determined that the study area comprised a mixture of areas of archaeological potential and areas of no archaeological potential. The Stage 2 assessment of the identified areas of archaeological potential resulted in the discovery of 11 locations of archaeological materials: Site 1 (AjHc-39), Site 2 (AjHc-40), Site 5 (AjHc-41), Site 7, Site 10, Site 13, Site 14, Site 15, Site 17 and Site 18. These sites can be summarized as follows: • Site 1 (AjHc-39) – a 160 x 101 m scatter of Euro-Canadian artifacts dating from the mid- 1800s to the early 1900s located immediately adjacent to the northern portion of the extant farming complex in the western half of the licensed boundary; • Site 2 (AjHc-40) – a 140 x 117 m scatter of Euro-Canadian artifacts dating from ca. 1830– late 1800s with a small Indigenous component of unspecified Pre-Contact date located east of the extant farming complex and gravel driveway on a naturally elevated area; • Site 5 (AjHc-41) – a 55 x 32 m scatter of Euro-Canadian artifacts dating from the mid- 1800s to the early 1900s located near the eastern edge of the licensed boundary and northwest of the neighboring property; • Site 7 – an isolated Indigenous artifact of unspecified Pre-Contact date located within the northwestern portion of the licensed boundary and south of a deciduous woodlot • Site 10 – an isolated Indigenous artifact of unspecified Pre-Contact date located within the northwestern portion of the licensed boundary and south of a deciduous woodlot; • Site 13 – a 17 x 1 m Indigenous scatter of unspecified Pre-Contact date located within the southwestern portion of the licensed boundary north of Foerster Road and west of the gravel driveway; • Site 14 – an isolated Indigenous artifact of unspecified Pre-Contact date located near the western edge of the licensed boundary and west of the unassessed farming complex; May 2019 Archaeological Research Associates Ltd. PIF #P007-0892-2018 ARA File #2018-0098 and #2018-0174 Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessments Shantz Station Pit, Township of Woolwich, Regional Municipality of Waterloo ii • Site 15 – an isolated Indigenous artifact of unspecified Pre-Contact date located adjacent to the western edge of the licensed boundary and golf course; • Site 17 – a 33 x 16 m scatter of Euro-Canadian artifacts dating from the mid- to late 1800s with a small Indigenous component of unspecified Pre-Contact date located in the northern portion of the licensed boundary, west of Hopewell Creek and bordering the west edge of a neighboring property; • Site 18 – an isolated Indigenous artifact of unspecified Pre-Contact date located beyond the licensed boundary within the northeastern corner of the study area and east of Hopewell Creek; and • Site 19 – an isolated Euro-Canadian glass fragment of unspecific date located near the eastern edge of the licensed boundary and northwest of the neighboring property. Sites 1, 2 and 5 were found to be of further cultural heritage value or interest, whereas Sites 7, 10, 13, 14, 15 17, 18 and 19 were found to be of no further cultural heritage value or interest. Archaeological Research Associates Ltd. Recommends that Site 1 (AjHc-39), Site 2 (AjHc-40) and Site 5 (AjHc-41) be subject to Stage 3 site-specific assessments in accordance with the requirements set out in Section 3.2, Section 3.2.2 and Section 3.2.3 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:47, 50–53). Controlled Surface Pickups were conducted at each site location as part of the subject assessment and are not required in advance of test unit excavation. Detailed documentary research must also be carried out as per Section 3.1 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:46–47). Sites 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 and the remainder of the assessed portion of the licensed boundary do not require further archaeological assessment. The outstanding areas within the licensed boundary still require Stage 1 and 2 assessments. These include a rectilinear parcel surrounding the extant farmstead, a square parcel adjacent to Foerster Road, and two irregularly-shaped parcels located along the northwestern and eastern limits of the licensed boundary, respectively. Given that there are no further concerns for impacts to archaeological sites within the majority of the project lands, Archaeological Research Associates Ltd. also makes a recommendation for partial clearance. A partial clearance is intended to accommodate the need for a development to be able to proceed while outstanding concerns for alterations to archaeological sites continue to be addressed. At the time of writing, Sites 1, 2 and 5 are the only sites of further archaeological concern located within the project lands. No ground alterations or development of any kind may occur within the designated protected areas until the required investigations are completed, recommendations that the sites have no further cultural heritage value or interest are made, and the associated reports are entered into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports.

  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

    Understanding Factors Associated With Commuter Rail Ridership A Demand Elasticity Study of the GO Transit Rail Network by Aaron Shantz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Aaron Shantz 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Mode share in major North American cities is currently dominated by private automobile use. Planners have theorized that transitioning commuter rail systems to regional rail networks is a viable method to increase ridership and stabilize mode share. This process is currently underway in Ontario, Canada, as the amount and frequency of service is being increased throughout the GO Transit rail network via the GO Expansion Program. However, previous studies have shown that transit demand does not solely respond to service quantity expansions. Variables related to the built environment, regional economy, network characteristics, and socioeconomic status of the customer base can influence transit demand to varying degrees. Further, the literature states that the travel behavior of commuter rail users is unique, as access mode, distance, socioeconomic status, and the utility derived from varying trip types can differ compared to local transit users. These findings suggest that supplementary policies might be needed to reduce automobile reliance and stimulate demand for regional transit. Many transit researchers have conducted demand elasticity studies to identify what factors are significantly associated with transit ridership.

  • Stouffville Construction Updates
    STOUFFVILLE CONSTRUCTION UPDATES In the last few months, we’ve made a number of changes at our stations including updating amenities, enhancing accessibility, and making it easier to access GO services. GO Expansion will increase the frequency and number of GO trains across our network, reduce congestion and connect a growing region with fast, reliable transit options to get you where you need to go. Learn about more service and improvements planned for your corridor at metrolinx.com/stouffville-go-expansion. What's Changed Kennedy GO Improvements Made: • A new GO platform at Kennedy station is now open. Current Customer Impacts: • The new platform is shorter in length than the current platform and door restrictions will be in place for trains that have more than six coaches. • You can still access the new platform from the east side of the tracks by using the pedestrian tunnel to cross over to Kennedy TTC Station. • If you need an elevator, you will not be able to access the new platform through this route. Please access the platform through the west side of the tracks from Kennedy TTC Station or the adjacent TTC parking lot. • It might take a little longer than usual so give yourself extra time to get to your train during construction and follow signs for directions. Completion Date: August 2020 For more information on Kennedy GO improvements click here What's Changing Mount Joy GO Construction Map Work Completed/In Progress: • New yellow safety tiling on the train platforms • New digital signage on train platforms • New digital signage on bus platforms Current Customer Impacts: • Starting September 21, the north half of the platform will be closed to install tactile yellow safety tiles and digital signs.
