  • Estimating the Marginal Effect of Pits and Quarries on Rural Residential Property Values in Wellington County, Ontario: a Hedonic Approach
    Estimating the Marginal Effect of Pits and Quarries on Rural Residential Property Values in Wellington County, Ontario: A Hedonic Approach by Alison Grant A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Program Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Alison Grant, June, 2017 ABSTRACT Estimating the Marginal Effect of Pits and Quarries on Rural Residential Property Values in Wellington County, Ontario: A Hedonic Approach Alison Grant Advisor: Dr. Brady Deaton University of Guelph, 2017 Committee: Dr. Jessica Cao Dr. Richard Vyn “Aggregate” material – i.e., sand, gravel, clay, and bedrock – are extracted from pits and quarries throughout Ontario. Aggregates are the number one resource extracted (by value) and used by Ontarians, and approximately $1.2 billion of aggregate material was extracted in Ontario in the last year. While aggregate is a valued resource, the extraction of aggregate is often identified as a negative externality. Similar to other environmental disamenities mentioned in the literature – such as shale gas exploration sites, wind turbines and landfills – residents near aggregate extraction identify a host of events that can be categorized as negative externalities. Residential concerns include noise and visual disamenities, as well as environmental concerns, such as diminished water quality. In this study, I assess the potential impacts of aggregate sites. First, I briefly introduce the perceived impacts of aggregate sites by quoting residents’ concerns through newspaper articles and lobby group websites. I then utilize the hedonic model to test these claims made by residents: namely, the negative effect on property values.

  • Windsor-Essex Parkway
    Backgrounder The Windsor-Essex Parkway The Windsor-Essex Parkway is part of a long-term transportation solution to improve the movement of goods and people between the Windsor-Detroit border – a vital gateway and key to Ontario’s economic well-being. Project Features The Windsor-Essex Parkway will continue Ontario’s Highway 401 through the municipalities of Tecumseh, LaSalle and Windsor. The Parkway’s design consists of a six- lane below-grade freeway which is an extension of Highway 401, a four-lane service road network which is an extension of Highway 3 and naturalized green space that will distance adjacent residents from the border-bound traffic travelling on the freeway. The Parkway is a once-in-a-generation undertaking. It is unprecedented in its community enhancement features for any highway, anywhere in Ontario and will include: • 11 tunnels covering 1.8 kilometres of freeway • extensive landscaping throughout the corridor • the use of proven techniques to reduce noise levels • special measures to protect wildlife. Vision Upon completion, the 11 kilometre Parkway will ease the movement of goods and people to and from the Windsor-Detroit border, separate local and international traffic, and eliminate stop-and-go traffic in residential areas. With more than 300 acres of green space, 20 kilometres of recreational trails and new community connections, residents in Windsor-Essex will enjoy an improved quality of life. Delivery method The Parkway is the first Ontario road project to be delivered using an alternative financing and procurement (AFP) model – a public-private partnership delivery method. In December 2010, the province signed a fixed-price contract with the Windsor Essex Mobility Group (WEMG) to design, build, finance and to provide long-term maintenance of the Windsor- Essex Parkway.
