3 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE RECOMMENDED PLAN
3.1.1 OVERPASS STRUCTURE REPLACEMENT
3.1.1.1 Existing Structure
The Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass was constructed in 1965 and comprises two (2) single variable span/variable depth voided slab bridges (one for the Highway 417 westbound lanes [MTO Site No. 3- 62.2] and one for the Highway 417 eastbound lanes [MTO Site No. 3-62.1]). The superstructures are separated by a 13 mm longitudinal expansion joint at the median (50 mm joint between median barrier walls).
The Highway 417 eastbound structure is 15.39 metres wide (13.88 metres between barriers) and consists of seven (7) girders. The Highway 417 westbound structure is 19.05 metres wide (17.53 metres between barriers) and consists of nine (9) girders.
The superstructure is supported on closed concrete abutments founded on deep foundations which are driven to refusal on solid bedrock. Both the east and west abutments are on curvilinear alignments. The articulation of the bridge is such that the east abutment bearings are fixed and the west abutment bearing permit longitudinal expansion. Wing wall retaining walls support the embankment fills behind both abutments. Cantilevered retaining walls founded on spread footings which are cast on undisturbed sand extend west of the bridge.
The actual surveyed minimum vertical clearance is 4.54 metres ± at the northeast corner of the bridge, which does not meet the minimum vertical clearance of 4.8 metres over the roadway for new voided slab concrete bridge structures.
3.1.1.2 Overpass Structure Replacement Design Alternatives
During detail design, two rehabilitation options were considered including a rapid superstructure replacement option and a conventional staged superstructure replacement with lane reductions on Highway 417, as described below.
Option 1: Rapid Superstructure Replacement
This option involves replacing the existing single span concrete voided slab superstructures (i.e. bridge decks) with new single span slab-on-girder superstructures during an overnight weekend closure of Highway 417, Kent Street, and Chamberlain Avenue. The new bridge decks will be constructed in the proposed construction staging area on MTO property on the north side of Chamberlain Avenue between Kent Street and Bank Street. During the weekend of the rapid replacement operation, the existing bridges will be moved with self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) from their current location to the construction staging area and the new structures will be moved into position. Additional construction works will take place prior to and following the rapid replacement operation.
The duration of construction is expected to take place over one construction season and will involve significantly less disruption to vehicular traffic on Highway 417, as compared to long-term lane reductions and closures required as part of Option 2: Staged Construction.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 29
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
Option 2: Superstructure Replacement – Staged Construction
This option involves five construction stages to take place over two years, including daytime and night- time construction and potential long-term closure of the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp. In order for staging to be feasible, traffic will be required to cross over the median of Highway 417.
The staged superstructure replacement will cause significant traffic disruptions along Highway 417, with delays expected to impact more than 100,000 vehicles per day. As such, it is not preferred from a traffic management perspective.
3.1.1.3 Recommended Plan and Proposed Structure
Option 1: Rapid Superstructure Replacement was selected as the preferred alternative and was brought forward as the detail design recommended plan due to significantly reduced traffic impacts and reduction of risk to users of Highway 417 and Kent Street.
The proposed structure will comprise a new 225 mm thick concrete bridge deck, which will be constructed with new welded steel plate girders. New welded plate girders will be constant in depth, however, several girder sizes varying from 800 mm (north side) to 1300 mm (south side) are required due to the varying span length of the bridge.
Modified barrier walls with stainless steel reinforcement will be constructed with the remaining superstructure off-site in the construction staging area. On the north side of Highway 417, these barrier walls will include a snow fence to be constructed as part of this project. On the south side, the barrier walls will be designed to accommodate the future installation of a 5.0 metre high noise barrier which will be mounted behind the barrier wall, as further described in Section 3.1.4. Waterproofing will be applied to the top of the deck in the staging area.
The vertical clearance over the roadway will be improved to 4.79 metres.
3.1.2 MAJOR FEATURES OF THE PROPOSED WORK
The Kent Street overpass will be rehabilitated to extend its service life to the year 2089. Work will be limited to that required by the bridge substructure rehabilitation and the bridge superstructure replacement, including the following proposed works: Removal of the existing eastbound and westbound overpass structures and replacement of new structures using rapid replacement construction techniques; Abutment refacing, including new bearings; Replacement of approach slabs and conversion to semi-integral abutments; Minor widening of shoulders to suit existing retaining walls; Replacement of roadside and median barriers on the highway within the resurfacing limits; Two (2) new slab on single span steel girder structures, including reconstruction of traffic barrier walls on the north and south sides of the highway. Traffic barrier walls on the north side of the highway will include a snow fence as part of this project, and will accommodate noise walls on the south side of the highway as part of a future installation; New underpass illumination, and replacement of highway illumination and ATMS within the resurfacing limits;
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 30
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
Minor curb, median and sidewalk replacement on the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp and the left-turning lane from Chamberlain Avenue eastbound to Kent Street North under the bridge; and Reinstatement of asphalt paving.
Rapid replacement construction techniques utilize heavy lift equipment (i.e. SPMTs) to remove an existing bridge deck and replace it with a new one which has been constructed adjacent to the location of its installation.
The proposed replacement structure will be a superstructure of single variable width span with a thin slab deck on steel-welded girders of variable depth, as illustrated in Exhibit 3-1.
The median barrier on Highway 417 will be reconstructed and new illumination will be installed. Sidewalks and curbing will be removed on the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp and the left-turning lane on Chamberlain Avenue eastbound to Kent Street North under the bridge for the rapid replacement operations, and will be subsequently reinstated.
The Recommended Plan is illustrated in Exhibit 3-2 to Exhibit 3-5.

3.1.3 CONSTRUCTION STAGING AREA
Construction on Chamberlain Avenue will also include the preparation of a temporary construction staging area, which is required for the removal of the existing structures and construction of the new structures. The staging area will be located on MTO property adjacent to the bridge site on the north side of Chamberlain Avenue between Kent Street and Bank Street, as indicated in Exhibit 3-6.
Exhibit 3-6: Temporary Construction Staging Area
Preparation of the staging area will include the installation of temporary roadway protection along Highway 417 and the levelling of the staging area to the grade of Chamberlain Avenue to provide a level work area for the rapid replacement equipment (SPMTs). SPMTs will access the staging area via Chamberlain Avenue.
The new slab on steel girder bridge decks will be constructed in the staging area. Existing deck spans will be removed and transported to the area and erected using SPMTs, as detailed in Exhibit 3-7. The SPMTs will utilize Chamberlain Avenue and a portion of the staging area to travel from the staging area to the bridge site. In order to meet geometric requirements for manoeuvrability of the SPMTs, temporary fill will be placed on the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp and the left-turning lane from Chamberlain Avenue eastbound to Kent Street North under the bridge. This fill will be placed prior to and removed following the rapid replacement operations to allow for reinstatement of the affected off-ramp and lane.

Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
3.1.4 TRAFFIC BARRIERS
Concrete roadside traffic barriers in the median and on the roadside of the eastbound and westbound lanes will be replaced as part of the proposed works, due to the minor shoulder widening that is required.
On the north side of the highway (westbound lanes), the traffic barrier wall system will include a 2.2 metre-high snow fence from west of the overpass structure, and across Kent Street. Where it crosses Kent Street, the snow fence will include transparent panels.
On the south side of the highway (eastbound lanes), the traffic barrier wall system will be designed to accommodate a future 5.0 metre-high noise barrier, to be installed at the time of future noise barrier installations and retrofits along the Highway 417 corridor.
3.1.5 DRAINAGE
There are existing drainage structures on both sides of the median barrier, as well as against the roadside barrier on Highway 417. The main sewer system will not be affected as part of the proposed works.
Due to the minor shift of the median barrier, minor adjustments for elevation and offset are required for most of the catch basins on the median. In addition, one of the median catch basins requires removal of the tapered top and the installation of a new flat top to align the grate with the shifted barrier position.
The existing roadside catch basins are generally in good condition and will be adjusted vertically, based on the revised pavement elevations.
3.1.6 ILLUMINATION AND ATMS
Illumination in the median on Highway 417 within the limits of the median barrier reconstruction will be replaced with new poles that match the existing highway installations.
On Kent Street and Chamberlain Avenue, some of the existing illumination requires temporary removal in order to provide access for the SPMTs. The temporary removals will be done by City of Ottawa work crews during the rapid replacement operations. Lighting will be reinstated and fully operational after the rapid replacement operations when Chamberlain Avenue is reopened to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Underdeck illumination will be provided on the underside of the overpass structure. New fixtures will be wall-mounted on the abutment faces. Illumination on the west side is operated by the MTO, while the illumination of the east side will be operated by the City of Ottawa.
Existing Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) conduits are located within the highway embankment on the structure approaches on the south side of the highway, and are fastened to the retaining walls and bridge as they cross the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp. The conduits require temporary removal and the reinstallation of a temporary system to accommodate the replacement of the structure, followed by the installation of new ATMS.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 39
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
3.1.7 SIGNAGE
On Chamberlain Avenue, the temporary removal of some small signs is required in order to provide access for the SPMTs.
On Highway 417, the existing overhead sign located across the westbound lanes west of the overpass will be retained and the new barriers will be transitioned to the existing foundation.
3.1.8 TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Temporary removal of the traffic signals on Chamberlain Avenue at Kent Street North will be required in order to provide access for the SPMTs. The temporary removals will be done by City of Ottawa work crews during the rapid replacement operations. The traffic signals will be reinstated and fully operational after the rapid replacement operations when Chamberlain Avenue is reopened to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
3.1.9 UTILITIES
Overhead Hydro Ottawa, Bell Canada and other communications are located on the poles on the south side of Chamberlain Avenue. With respect to clearance issues related to the SPMTs, the poles and overhead wires will not be impacted by the rapid replacement operations.
One Hydro Ottawa guy pole located on the north side of Chamberlain Avenue will be temporarily removed and replaced following the rapid replacement operations.
Existing City of Ottawa lighting davits require temporary removal for the rapid replacement operations.
A City of Ottawa water hydrant also requires temporary removal and will be moved by City of Ottawa work crews on the day of the rapid replacement.
3.1.10 FENCING
The existing chain link fencing which delineates the MTO right-of-way on the north side of Chamberlain Avenue between Kent Street and Bank Street will be removed as part of the preparation of the temporary construction staging area. Once the staging area has been reinstated to its original condition, the fencing will be replaced with new black vinyl chain link fencing, with the exception of the portion of fencing running along the back of the sidewalk on the east side of Kent Street North. This section will be replaced with a black picket fence matching the chain link fence height, in accordance with the Context Sensitive Design recommendations further discussed in Section 3.1.11 and as illustrated in Exhibit 3-8.
The existing handrail located along the east side of Chamberlain Avenue eastbound to Kent Street North lane will be removed in order to provide access for the SPMTs. This handrail serves as a deterrent to prevent pedestrians from crossing the roadway under the overpass structure and will be replaced with a standard detail used by the City of Ottawa.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 40
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
3.1.11 CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN
Proposed improvements to the Highway 417 Kent Street overpass will incorporate the recommendations developed through the Context Sensitive Design (CSD) process, in order to ensure that the overall planned expansion and rehabilitation of Highway 417 reflects a holistically-planned aesthetic and vision for the Ottawa Queensway corridor. As a Capital Arrival Route, guiding principles of the CSD concepts for Highway 417 include: clean, concise, discernible features that articulate the highway as an arrival route into / through Ottawa’s core as the Nation’s Capital; simple design features that are easily perceived without distraction to motor vehicle operators; the use of durable, low maintenance materials; aesthetic design coordinated between the varying CSD elements; and constructible design solutions (MTO & Stantec, 2011).
As part of the Highway 417 Kent Street overpass replacement, the major opportunities to incorporate CSD recommendations include: Incorporating an architectural motif into the wing wall surface to represent an upward arching pilaster; Use of transparent panels as part of the snow fence across the north side of the overpass structure where it crosses Kent Street to provide a visual connection to the neighbourhood for users of the Queensway; Underdeck lighting; Use of black iron picket and black vinyl chain link fencing; and Enhanced landscaping on Chamberlain Avenue.
3.1.12 LANDSCAPE PLAN
Following construction, a Landscape Plan (Exhibit 3-9 and Exhibit 3-10) will be implemented in the following areas within the project limits: Within the temporary construction staging area located on the north side of Chamberlain Avenue, as detailed in Section 3.1.3, to reinstate existing vegetated areas disturbed by the construction works within the project limits; Within the northeast quadrant of the MTO right-of-way on the east side of the overpass structure and north of Highway 417; and Within the southwest quadrant on the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp embankment.
The landscape design includes low maintenance, native species which have high durability (i.e. salt/wind tolerant, regional hardiness) and which provide seasonal interest through colour, form, and texture while conforming to the principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). Proposed plant selections for the following areas include native seed mix, shrub plantings, deciduous and coniferous trees, as appropriate and in accordance with Context Sensitive Design recommendations.
The following highlights key elements of the landscape strategy for the Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement project:
Native, salt tolerant, hardy tree and shrub species will be used throughout; Seasonal interest will be provided by drought tolerant trees and vegetation, where and as appropriate. Restrained use of Fall and Spring plants with red attributes (flowers, budding, stalk
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 41
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
colouration, and fruit) will be used. Areas absent of existing landscaping will be enhanced where feasible; Appropriate MTO standard seed mixes and plantings will be utilized along roadside conditions; Specialized MTO standard seed mixes and slope stabilization will be used on slopes greater than 2:1; Tree placement will be respectful of highway light and pole locations to maximize evening lighting effectiveness; and Landscape areas will be designed in accordance with the principles of CPTED. An appropriate selection of plant materials, sizes, and placement will be made to provide for natural visibility/observation and ease of maintenance to preserve sight lines.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND COMMITMENTS
This section focuses on the direct and indirect environmental impacts associated with the proposed works. Specifically, this section describes the mitigation measures developed to minimize the impacts for each identified environmental issue. Mitigation measures include planning decisions, design features, construction requirements and constraints.
The key to ensuring effective environmental quality control and risk management during the project is the development and proactive implementation of an approach that:
Identifies environmental sensitivities; Presents environmental protection measures in a way that can be translated into contractual requirements and for which compliance can be verified; and Includes a monitoring program, as required, that verifies that environmental protection measures are being implemented and are effective.
It is important to ensure that the Contract Administrator and Contractor are made aware of, and are prepared to deal with, all environmental issues that may arise during construction.
Environmental contract specifications, including standard and non-standard special provisions (SP), Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS) and MTO General Conditions of Contract, will be included in the contract documents to address specific environmental and operational concerns.
The key environmental concerns and commitments identified in the TESR for the entire preliminary design study area (Highway 417 from west of Highway 416 easterly to Anderson Road) are summarized in Table 4-1. This table has been provided as a reference and forms the foundation upon which the impact assessment of the detail design was developed.

Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
Applicable commitments from the Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment Study and additional commitments developed during detail design are summarized in the following sections.
4.1 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
During preliminary design, terrestrial ecosystem sensitivities were identified and evaluated with the study area from Highway 416 easterly to Anderson Road. A reconnaissance terrestrial field survey was conducted on April 25 and 26, 2002 to determine the nature and extent of botanical and wildlife habitats within the study area, with follow-up detailed assessment surveys conducted from June 17 to 20, 2002.
The results of these surveys and a preliminary assessment of potential impacts were documented in the Botanical and Wildlife Survey Report (January 2003). During detail design, these reports were reviewed to obtain background information on the terrestrial environment within the study corridor. As there are no watercourses within the Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement project limits, background information on fish and fish habitat collected during preliminary design was not reviewed.
Records for Provincially Rare species and Species at Risk were also obtained from the Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC) database (MNR, 2012) during detail design, in order to update the previous data from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources’ Vulnerable, Threatened, Endangered and Extirpated List (VTEE OMNR, 1996). Correspondence with the Kemptville District MNR provided background data on existing Species at Risk and significant natural heritage features and areas (i.e. Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs), Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest [ANSIs], etc.) in the study area.
While consultation with MNR identified a number of potential Species at Risk that could occur in the study area, the habitat requirements of these species were reviewed and it was found that suitable habitat for these species is not present within the highly urbanized study area. No Species at Risk were observed during site reconnaissance completed for detail design.
A detailed description of existing environmental conditions is documented in the TESR, while updated information on existing conditions, sensitivities, potential impacts and proposed mitigation are documented in the Summary of Existing Environmental Conditions Report, Detail Design Update, Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) (July 2014).
The following sections describe potential impacts to the natural environment associated with the proposed works and summarize mitigation measures that have been included in the contract documents.
4.1.1 FISH AND FISH HABITAT
There are no watercourses within the project limits or the immediate surrounding area; therefore, fish and fish habitat will not be impacted by the proposed works.
4.1.2 VEGETATION
Potential Impacts
Vegetation in the immediate vicinity of the Highway 417 Kent Street eastbound off-ramp and the overpass is limited to a small amount of landscaped/cultural vegetation on the adjacent sloped areas (Exhibit 4-1).
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 54
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
Discontinuous grassed areas, trees and shrub plantings are predominant along the Highway 417 right-of- way (ROW). Other vegetation in close proximity to the off-ramp and overpass occurs on private residential and commercial properties and in City parks. Existing vegetation is considered to be of low ecological significance. As such, vegetation removal is anticipated to have negligible impacts.
According to the Botanical and Wildlife Survey Report (2003), there were no records of regionally or provincially rare species of plants or animals within the study area based on a review of the previous VTEE (OMNR, 1996). In addition, there are no designated natural heritage features or areas within the study area.
A review of the NHIC database (MNR, 2012) identified provincially significant plant species, outlined in Table 4-2, as having historical or current records within the study area.
Table 4-2: Potential Provincially Significant Plant Species within the Study Area Plant Species Habitat American Waterwort Shallow water, river edges, and shores of ponds, lakes, pools and ditches. Cattail Sedge Moist woods along or near watercourses. Greene’s Rush Open sandy ground. Limestone Oak Fern Ledges and slopes in limestone or dolomite rock, and in moist humus in forests on calcareous rock. Pale-bellied Frost Lichen In wooded areas, on the bark of hardwood trees such as White Ash, Black Walnut, and American Elm, and on Hop Hornbeam trunks. Pitch Pine Shallow soil of dry rock outcrops and ridges. Southern Twayblade Bogs, openings in Sphagnum peatlands with Black Spruce and Tamarack. Woodland Pinedrops Mixed woods.
Suitable habitat for these species is not present within the study area.

Exhibit 4-1: Existing Vegetation within the Study Area
Mitigation
The following design and site-specific mitigation measures will be included in the Contract documents to mitigate impacts to vegetation:
The temporary construction staging area will be delineated using temporary fencing; Vegetation removal and grading will be minimized to only what is required for the proposed works; Required vegetation removal and protection measures will be conducted in accordance with OPSS 201 (tree clearing); All construction-related debris will be cleared / disposed of following construction; and A Landscape Plan has been developed for the reinstatement of the temporary construction staging area; within the northeast quadrant of the MTO right-of-way on the east side of the overpass structure and north of Highway 417; and within the southwest quadrant on the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp embankment. The Landscape Plan will use native trees, shrubs and seed mixes, as appropriate for the site conditions and in accordance with CSD recommendations.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 56
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
4.1.3 WILDLIFE AND SPECIES AT RISK
Potential Impacts
As the study area is highly urbanized, wildlife habitat is limited. A small amount of landscaped vegetation along the highway may provide limited habitat for urban tolerant wildlife. No significant wildlife features, significant wildlife habitat, or significant wildlife species, including area sensitive birds and other provincially rare species were identified within the study area.
According to the NHIC database, there are records of Eastern Pipistrelle (Provincially Rare) within the general study area. Eastern Pipistrelle prefer partly open country with large trees and woodland edges and typically hibernate in caves or mines with high humidity. Therefore, they are not likely to be found within the study area.
Consultation with MNR confirmed that possible Species at Risk that may be found in the vicinity of the Kent Street overpass include Barn Swallow (Threatened), Chimney Swift (Threatened), and Butternut (Threatened). In general, suitable habitat for these species is not present within the study area and these species were not observed during site reconnaissance.
Barn swallows typically build their cup-shaped nests on structures such as open barns, under bridges, and in culverts, and often re-use their nests from year to year. No historic records of nesting on the Highway 417 Kent Street overpass structure exist. No Barn swallow nests were observed on the structure or within the study area.
Chimney swifts are most likely to be found nesting or roosting in chimneys and other manmade structures, and prefer to stay close to water for insect food sources. The project works will not affect any suitable habitat for this species that may be present within the study area.
Butternuts usually occur alone or in small groups in deciduous forests, are often found along streams with moist, well-drained soil, and are also found on well-drained gravel sites. They are rarely found growing in dry rocky soil. No butternuts were observed in the study area.
Migratory birds, as well as common resident species, may use the Highway 417 Kent Street overpass structure for nesting, although no historic records of nesting on the structure exist.
Mitigation
The following mitigation measures will be included in the Contract documents to protect wildlife during construction:
The Contractor should not harass or kill any wildlife encountered during construction; The Contractor should not destroy the active nests (nests with eggs or young birds), or wound or kill birds, of species protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994 and/or Regulations under that Act. If active nests are encountered, the Ministry’s Contract Administrator should be contacted;
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 57
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
The Contractor should refrain from clearing trees between April 1st and August 8th to protect nesting migratory birds. In the event that tree removal must occur within the above-noted window, the Contractor should retain a Qualified Avian Biologist to conduct a nesting survey prior to clearing; The Contractor should take all necessary measures to seal all structural work plant, forms, and enclosures against entry of birds protected under the provision of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994 in order to prevent their nesting within the work area; and
4.1.4 DESIGNATED NATURAL AREAS
The Preliminary Design and EA Study identified that the study area was composed of degraded and significantly altered vegetation and wildlife habitats. During Detail Design, there were no designated natural heritage features or areas, including Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs), Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSIs), or Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs), identified in the vicinity of the Kent Street overpass.
4.1.5 HYDROLOGY / SURFACE WATER
Potential Impacts
There is a negligible overall increase in impervious area due to construction of this project in the context of the total watershed areas.
Mitigation
The main sewer system on Highway 417 will not be affected as part of the proposed works.
Due to the minor shift of the median barrier, minor adjustments for elevation and offset are required for most of the existing catch basins in the median.
The existing roadside catch basins will be adjusted vertically, based on the revised pavement elevations.
Catch basins will be covered with filler fabric during placement of temporary granular fill.
No additional mitigation for stormwater management is required.
4.1.6 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Potential Impacts
Uncontrolled erosion and sedimentation occurring during construction can result in a loss of topsoil, disruption of drainage systems and nearby watercourses, and degradation of downstream water quality.
Mitigation
Standard erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented during construction to prevent the migration of soils from the site. The Contractor should be required to prepare an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan including (but not limited to) the following measures:
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 58
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
All vegetated cover not specified for removal should be preserved in order to minimize erosion and sedimentation; All erosion and sediment control measures should be integrated with a construction operation and the schedule as determined by the Contractor. Operations should not be commenced until temporary erosion and sediment control measures have been installed. Erosion control measures should include but not be limited to silt fence barrier, straw bale flow checks, tarps, etc.; Erosion and sediment control measures should accommodate other aspects of the work including, but not restricted to the following: o work area requirements, including equipment access, operation and storage, and material supply, utilization and storage; o surface drainage from outside, through or around the work; o areas of disturbed soil and soil stockpiles; o means of access to erosion and sediment control measures requiring maintenance; o constraints that may be specified elsewhere in the Contract; and o protection of completed portions of the work. The Contractor should monitor the erosion and sediment control measures and if the measures are found to be ineffective, the Contractor should immediately make changes in order to control erosion and sediment; and Temporary erosion and sediment control measures should be maintained and kept in place until 100% of all work has been completed and stabilized. Temporary control measures should be removed at the completion of the work but not until permanent erosion control measures, as specified in the contract, have been established.
4.1.7 WASTE AND CONTAMINATION / MANAGEMENT OF EXCESS MATERIALS
Potential Impacts
If not managed properly, excess waste and emissions have the potential to contaminate the surrounding environment.
Mitigation
The following mitigation measures will be included in the contract to manage excess waste and emissions:
Excess materials generated during construction will be managed in accordance with OPSS 180 (General Specification for the Management of Excess Material); All wood waste will be managed as per OPSS 180; All activities, including equipment maintenance, refueling and concrete truck washing should be controlled to prevent entry of petroleum products (e.g. gasoline, oils, lubricants), primers, grout, bonding adhesives or other hazardous or deleterious substances including any debris, waste, rubble or concrete materials in all drainage systems within the project limits unless otherwise specified in the contract. Substances are to be stored and mixed on protected surfaces away from the drainage systems within the project limits in order to prevent contamination of soils and waters. Any such material which advertently enters the drainage system within the project limits should be removed by the Contractor, at his own expense, in a manner satisfactory to the Contract Administrator;
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 59
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
For mobile equipment and vehicles, maintenance, refueling and truck washing should be conducted no closer than 30 metres from the drainage system within the project limits in order to prevent water contamination due to accidental spills; All large equipment working in or near the drainage systems within the project limits should be well maintained to avoid contaminant leakage, should be free of excess surface oil or grease and should be equipped with spill kits deemed acceptable by the Contract Administrator; Effluent from concrete cutting and grinding operations, that does not dry without run-off from the concrete surfaces that are cut/ground, should be captured and contained for management. It is the Contractor's responsibility to obtain any approvals, releases, and agreements, and conditions of same, that are required to implement the Contractor's strategy for the management of effluent; Where the Contractor manages excess earth as disposable fill, the Contractor should take into account the possibility of salt impacts and ensure that the material is managed responsibly and in an environmentally appropriate manner; and Where the Contractor intends to manage the excess earth that may be salt impacted on private property, the Contractor should make the Property Owner aware that it may be salt impacted by using the Property Owner’s Release. The Contractor is responsible for conducting such sampling and testing as may be necessary to comply with any requirements imposed by the Property Owner as a condition of accepting the excess earth.
4.2 SOCIAL / ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
During detail design, a review of existing planning documents, current land use, and the social environment (i.e. neighbourhood structures within the study area) was completed to identify any potential impacts associated with the Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement project.
In addition, property requirements were identified and an air quality assessment was also completed during preliminary design.
The following sections describe potential impacts to the socio-economic environment associated with the proposed works, and provide a summary of mitigation included in the contract documents.
4.2.1 GREENWAYS AND OPEN SPACE LINKAGES
No impacts to greenways or open space linkages are anticipated.
4.2.2 LAND USE
No impacts to current land uses are anticipated.
4.2.3 AESTHETICS AND LANDSCAPE
Potential Impacts
The preparation of the temporary construction staging area and construction access routes on Chamberlain Avenue will result in minor disturbance to the existing landscape and vegetation within the project limits.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 60
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
Mitigation
A Landscape Plan has been developed for the temporary construction staging area and will be followed to revegetate disturbed areas using native trees and seed mixes, as appropriate for the site conditions and in accordance with CSD recommendations.
As per the Landscape Plan (presented in Section 3.1.12 and Exhibit 3-9 and Exhibit 3-10), vegetated areas disturbed during construction will be reinstated. The landscape design includes native species which have high durability (i.e. salt/wind tolerant, regional hardiness) and provide seasonal interest through colour, form and texture while conforming to the principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED).
In accordance with CSD recommendations, segments of black iron picket fencing will be installed along Kent Street adjacent to the bridge site to maintain openness around the structure. Black vinyl chain link fencing will be installed along the north side of Chamberlain Avenue as part of the reinstatement of the temporary construction staging area.
4.2.4 TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
Potential Impacts
While the construction staging presented in Section 3.2 was developed with the goal of minimizing lane and ramp closures to the extent possible, some closures are required to accommodate the proposed construction activities. Table 4-3 below provides a summary of the required closures, approximate timing and duration, anticipated traffic impacts, and mitigation proposed to reduce impacts.

Mitigation
In addition to the mitigation provided in Table 4-3, the following mitigation for the rapid replacement operations will be included in the Contract documents:
Highway 417
The rapid replacement will only occur on a weekend. Lane and ramp closures and reopening will occur as follows: The O’Connor Street North westbound on-ramp will be closed from 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday to 5:00 a.m. on the Monday of the rapid replacement weekend; The Parkdale eastbound on-ramp and the Carling eastbound on-ramps only be closed from 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday to 11:00 a.m. on the Sunday of the rapid replacement weekend; Closure of lanes on Highway 417 will not commence until 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday of the rapid replacement weekend, with full closure of the highway beginning at 6:00 p.m.; Two (2) lanes will be open on Highway 417 in each direction by 11:00 a.m. on Sunday following the rapid replacement operations; and The remaining lanes on Highway 417 will be reopened by 5:00 a.m. on the Monday following the rapid replacement operations. One (1) lane of the Kent Street eastbound off-ramp will be reopened two (2) weeks after the rapid replacement operations.
City Streets
Starting at 12:00 p.m. on the Saturday of the rapid replacement weekend, the following City streets will be closed to facilitate the set-up of the rapid replacement equipment: Chamberlain Avenue between Bronson Avenue and Bank Street; Percy Street between Catherine Street and Chamberlain Avenue; Percy Street at Chamberlain Avenue; Lyon Street at Chamberlain Avenue; Glendale Avenue at Chamberlain Avenue; and Imperial Avenue at Chamberlain Avenue.
The following mitigation will be included in the Contract documents to mitigate impacts to traffic during full closure of City streets during the rapid replacement operations: Pre-closure signage will be erected a minimum of two (2) weeks in advance at all closure points; The above-noted City streets will be reopened to traffic following the rapid replacement operations by Monday at 7:00 a.m. On Chamberlain Avenue, a minimum of two (2) lanes will be provided between Kent Street and Bank Street. Chamberlain Avenue eastbound to Kent Street North (left-turning lane under the bridge to Catherine Street) will remain closed after the rapid replacement operations to facilitate the reconstruction of the median and sidewalks, including work at the abutments. City of Ottawa police presence will be required along proposed detour routes during the rapid replacement operations at the following intersections: o Rochester Street at ramp terminal o Booth Street at Orangeville Street
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 67
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
o Carling Avenue and Booth Street o Carling Avenue and Bronson Avenue o Bronson Avenue and Holmwood Avenue o Bronson Avenue southbound to Riverside Drive ramp Terminal o Riverside Drive eastbound to Bronson Avenue northbound ramp entrance o Riverside Drive and Industrial Avenue o Riverside Drive and Tremblay Road o Catherine Street eastbound at Bronson Avenue
Emergency Services
During the periods when Chamberlain Avenue is blocked by the movement of the rapid replacement equipment to and from the construction staging area to the bridge site, the Contractor should maintain access for fire and ambulance for those buildings and residences between Lyon Street and Bank Street, with access to Chamberlain via Bank. This may require the installation of a system to retain the granular materials required to create a platform for the SPMTs.
In addition to the above noted mitigation, a Traffic and Incident Management Plan (TIMP) was prepared as part of the Detail Design and was presented to the City of Ottawa Traffic Incident Management Group.
As specified in the Contract documents, the Contractor should be required to develop a Traffic Control Management Plan, which should include the actions detailed below to mitigate impacts to traffic during construction: Preparation of a Communication Plan including: o Bilingual media releases (local newspaper and radio notices) and residential/business mail- outs with a plan of the detours and alternate access routes, in advance of the pre-rapid replacement operations, full closure, and post-rapid replacement operations; and o Motorist information, which will be delivered through bilingual portable variable message signs, temporary advance information signs (TC 64’s), and detour signs along Highway 417 and local City streets. For the full closure of Highway 417: o Preparation of a Traffic Staging Plan, including the activities, sequencing, and procedures required to close and reopen Highway 417 and associated ramps for eastbound and westbound traffic; o Preparation of an Emergency Traffic Plan to address highway re-opening delays and the unexpected closure of detour routes due to traffic incidents; o The use of portable variable message signs during the rapid replacement operations; and o Coordination with the City of Ottawa. For the construction site: o Preparation of a Traffic Control Plan for the construction staging; o Preparation and updates, as required, to the Local Street Closure Plan and implementation of closures as specified in the Contract documents; o Preparation and implementation of a Construction Site Control Plan. Pre- and post-full closure of Highway 417: o Preparation of a Traffic Staging Plan for all work required on Highway 417 prior to and following the full closures as specified in the Contract documents.

In addition, the Contractor should be required to develop an Incident Management Plan which includes scheduling and coordinating with an Incident Management Team (IMT) including staff from City of Ottawa Traffic and Operations, OC Transpo, Ontario Provincial Police, City of Ottawa Police and Emergency Services.
Access by buses and pedestrians to all existing bus stops on Chamberlain Avenue will be maintained at all times, except during the rapid replacement weekend. The Contractor should provide OC Transpo advance notice to coordinate adjustments required to their facilities as a result of construction works.
4.2.5 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
Potential Impacts
Impacts to pedestrian access on City streets are expected during construction as follows:
WORK CONSTRUCTION CLOSURES / EXPECTED MITIGATION STAGE ACTIVITIES IMPACTS DURATION 7 Preparation of the Closure of the 1 to 2 weeks prior Advance signage Kent Street sidewalk on the to the rapid should be put in eastbound off-ramp east side of Kent replacement place to direct and Chamberlain Street North (under pedestrians to safe Avenue eastbound the bridge between routes through or to Kent Street Chamberlain around the North (left-turning Avenue and construction work lane under the Catherine Street) zone for safety bridge to Catherine purposes Street) to provide Pedestrians will be SPMTs access to detoured to use the the structure sidewalk on Bank Street The Contractor should install bilingual signage at the intersection preceding the detour 8 Rapid replacement During the rapid 1 weekend Advance signage weekend replacement should be put in operations, there place to direct will be no pedestrians to safe pedestrian access routes through or on Chamberlain around the Avenue between construction work Lyon Street and zone for safety Bank Street, or on purposes the sidewalk on the Where pedestrians

One residential entrance and numerous commercial entrances exist on the south side of Chamberlain Avenue within the project limits. These entrances will not be affected as part of the construction of proposed works.
Mitigation
The Contractor will be responsible for vehicular and pedestrian traffic control on or adjacent to City streets and should be required to develop a Construction Site Pedestrian Control Plan (CSPCP) which will ensure the provision of a safe and accessible path of travel for all pedestrians, including those with disabilities and/or increased mobility needs. The CSPCP should address: pedestrian signing; directional signage; sidewalk maintenance; relocation, maintenance and removal of pedestrian barriers; all necessary delineation to provide a safe environment for pedestrians; and accommodation of pedestrians either through or around the construction site via a hard surfaced pedestrian facility along at least one side of the corridor at all times, with access to all buildings and street crossings.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 70
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
During temporary sidewalk closures on Chamberlain Avenue and Kent Street North, advance signage will be put in place to direct pedestrians to safe routes through or around the construction work zone for safety purposes. Specific closures will be dependent on the Contractor’s timing and sequence of construction activities. Where pedestrians must be detoured, the Contractor should install bilingual signage at the intersection preceding the detour.
4.2.6 PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS
Potential Impacts
There are no property requirements as part of the proposed works for this project, therefore mitigation is not required.
4.2.7 AIR QUALITY
During preliminary design, it was identified that the contribution of the Highway 417 Expansion Project is projected to be below applicable government guidelines for air quality and would have an unnoticeable and insignificant impact on smog pollutants. Therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
4.2.8 NOISE
Potential Impacts
The study area is governed by the City of Ottawa Noise By-Law (By-Law no. 2004-253), and therefore, an exemption from the noise by-law is be required for any night-time construction activity. It is anticipated that there will be an increase in noise levels during construction.
Night-time construction activities may include sawcutting, roadway excavation, paving, placement of granular materials and concrete, construction of barrier and retaining walls, installation of roadway protection systems, drainage works, and other construction activities.
Mitigation
The Contractor should abide by all municipal control by-laws for the day-to-day construction. However, night-time work will be required in order to minimize traffic closure impacts and to minimize the duration of construction. A noise by-law exemption will be obtained prior to construction for the required night work.
Equipment should be maintained in an operating condition that prevents unnecessary noise, including but not limited to non-defective muffler systems, properly secured components, and the lubrication of moving parts. Idling of equipment should be restricted to the minimum necessary to perform the specified work.
4.2.9 UTILITIES
Potential Impacts
There are several utilities within the travel path of the rapid replacement equipment that require temporary relocation and reinstatement to accommodate the proposed works.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 71
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
A 1220 mm watermain is located on the north side of Chamberlain Avenue between Bank Street and Percy Street. A portion of the watermain is located under the concrete road base of Chamberlain Avenue, with a large portion located just north of the north curb line and not under the concrete slab.
Mitigation
One Hydro Ottawa guy pole located on the north side of Chamberlain Avenue and existing City of Ottawa lighting davits will be temporarily removed and replaced following the rapid replacement operations.
A City of Ottawa water hydrant will be temporarily moved by City of Ottawa work crews on the day of the rapid replacement operations.
The Contractor should protect and monitor the existing 1220 mm watermain as specified in the Contract documents. Protection and monitoring of the existing 1220 mm watermain is required during all stages of construction and for the full duration of all the work to be performed / constructed in the vicinity of the existing 1220 mm watermain.
4.3 CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
Cultural Heritage
During detail design, a cultural heritage evaluation was completed for the Kent Street overpass to determine the cultural heritage value of the structure and is documented in the following report: Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report, Kent Street Overpass, MTO Site No. 3-062/1-2, Highway 417 (Ottawa Queensway), Lot F, Concession C, Rideau Front, Geographic Township of Nepean, City of Ottawa, Ontario, WP 4033-08-01 (2012).
Archaeology
During preliminary design, Stage 1 and Stage 2 Archaeological Assessments were completed for the larger Highway 417 Expansion Project and are documented in the following reports, which were reviewed during detail design for information on archaeological potential within the study area:
Stage I Archaeological Assessment of Highway 417 from Highway 416 Easterly to Anderson Road (2002); and Stage II Archaeological Assessment of Highway 417 (Queensway) from Highway 416 Easterly to Anderson Road (2004).
4.3.1 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Potential Impacts
As the Kent Street overpass structure is more than forty years old, a cultural heritage evaluation of the structure was undertaken to assess its cultural heritage value. The Ontario Heritage Bridge Guidelines – Interim (2008) were used, which sets out a scoring system to determine cultural heritage value or interest based on specific criteria.
MMM Group Limited November 2014 Page 72
Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01) Design and Construction Report
Mitigation
The Kent Street overpass structure is not included in the Ontario Heritage Bridge List and has not been identified as a Candidate Class A, B, or C structure in the Heritage Bridges Identification and Assessment Guide 1945-1965, Ontario. The City of Ottawa has not identified the overpass structure as having cultural heritage value.
The Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) for the Kent Street overpass comprised a summary of the heritage attributes of the bridge and resulted in a cultural heritage value score of 43, based on the evaluation criteria of the Ontario Heritage Bridge Guidelines. Therefore, the overpass structure does not meet the threshold of 60 points to be considered provincially important and worthy of inclusion on the Ontario Heritage Bridge List.
The MTO Heritage Bridge Committee has reviewed and accepted the findings of the CHER, which was also submitted to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport for the Ministry’s records. No further mitigation is required prior to replacement of the overpass.
4.3.2 ARCHAEOLOGY
Potential Impacts
No evidence of archaeological resources was identified within the existing Highway 417 right-of-way during the Stage I and Stage II Archaeological Assessments undertaken during preliminary design. As the existing right-of-way has been significantly disturbed, there are no present archaeological concerns.
Mitigation
In the event that deeply buried archaeological deposits are discovered in the course of construction, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-1177) should be notified immediately. Should previously undocumented archaeological resources be discovered, they may be new archaeological sites and therefore subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proponent or person discovering the archaeological resources must cease alteration of the site immediately and engage a licensed consultant archaeologist to carry out a determination of their nature and significance.
In the event that human remains are encountered during construction, the Cemeteries Regulation Unit of the Ministry of Consumer Service (1-800-889-9768) should be notified. In situations where human remains are associated with archaeological resources, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport should also be contacted to ensure that the site is not subject to unlicensed alterations which would be a contravention of the Ontario Heritage Act.

5 MONITORING
The Ministry of Transportation has an internal process to identify and address updates to the Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS) and MTO Special Provisions. This includes on-going review of unanticipated events that occur during other construction contracts and incorporation of required updates into future contract provisions. This helps to assess the effectiveness of the contract provisions to ensure that they are providing the expected control and/or protection.
An independent on-site Contract Administrator (CA Consultant) is retained by MTO to ensure that construction proceeds as per the contract documentation, including environmental protection.
During construction, the on-site CA Consultant ensures that implementation of mitigating measures and key design features are consistent with the contract requirements. In addition, the effectiveness of the environmental impact mitigation measures is assessed to ensure that: Individual mitigation measures are providing the expected control and/or protection; Composite control and/or protection provided by the mitigation measures is adequate; and Additional mitigation measures are provided, as required, for any unanticipated environmental problems that may develop during construction.
In the event that problems develop, the CA Consultant is there to ensure that MTO and appropriate agencies are contacted.

The study examined existing and future problems and opportunities and developed a Recommended Plan to guide the future evolution of the Queensway over the next 20 years. In general, the Recommended Plan involves widening Highway 417 from 3 mainline lanes to 4 lanes in each direction from Highway 416 to Carling Avenue and from Metcalfe Street to OR 174. </p><p>Following approval of the EA in 2008, the Ministry is proceeding with implementation of the Recommended Plan, including completion of Detail Design and contract preparation for specific elements of the plan. The current project undergoing Detail Design for the replacement of the Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass involves the following components: </p><p> Replacement of the Kent Street Overpass using rapid replacement construction techniques; Preparation of a temporary enclosed construction staging area for bridge replacement activities including construction of the new bridge decks and demolition of the existing bridges; Replacement of the existing snow fence on the north barrier walls west of the bridge; Construction of related works including drainage, roadside protection, illumination, and utility relocations; Construction operations on Kent Street, Chamberlain Avenue and the eastbound off-ramp to provide the rapid replacement equipment with access from the construction staging area to the bridge site; and Traffic management, in conjunction with the City of Ottawa, for construction staging and the rapid replacement operations. Before, during, and after rapid replacement operations, lane reductions and full closures will be required on Highway 417 eastbound/westbound, the Kent Street eastbound off- ramp, Chamberlain Avenue West to Kent Street North (to Catherine Street), and Chamberlain Avenue. </p><p>This project is being carried out in accordance with the approved planning process for Group ‘B’ undertakings under the requirements of the Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (MTO, 2000), which has been approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. At the conclusion of the Detail Design study, a Design and Construction Report (DCR) will be prepared for the project and will include: </p><p> A description of the Recommended Plan, including any changes to transportation engineering and environmental issues identified in Preliminary Design; A summary of stakeholder consultation; and A detailed description of anticipated environmental effects and recommended mitigation measures that will be incorporated into construction documents. </p><p>The DCR will be made available for a 30-day public review period. Newspaper notices will be published at that time to explain the review process and identify the locations where the DCR is available for viewing. Upon completion of the public review period, the project will be considered to have met the requirements </p><p>1 </p><p>HIGHWAY 417 KENT STREET OVERPASS REPLACEMENT PIC SUMMARY REPORT (WP 4033-08-01) August 2014</p><p> of MTO’s Class EA.

Ms. Sott's reply that the meeting will be "in July" was not a complete answer. I understand the final details may not have been known at the time of that reply. But clearly the final details were known as of a few days ago, in time to place an ad in today's Ottawa Citizen. </p><p>I asked the most basic of questions (something single parents with complicated life schedules do when they are trying to participate in their community) and yet even that question went unanswered. </p><p>All things aside, this puts into question the point of scheduling a babysitter and bothering to attend. If a basic question can't be answered, what level of importance will the project team place on my actual feedback on the project? Should I even bother showing up? </p><p>While I am now fully informed, I worry there are many more people who have emailed you that are still unaware there is a meeting on July 9th. </p><p>I trust you will take appropriate action and provide an email summary to everyone who has contacted you. If I may add, you should also distribute notice via email to everyone who has ever emailed the project team about any of the 417 projects (such as the previous Parkdale one). I would guess they would also be interested - but may have missed the Ottawa Citizen ad as well. </p><p>Sincerely, </p><p>1 From: Sent: June-25-14 9:43 AM To: Anita Sott Subject: Re: Invitation to Public Information Centre - Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01)</p><p>Has a date been decided for this replacement to occur? </p><p>1 From: Steve Regel Sent: July-07-14 6:55 AM To: Cc: Gibbs, Kevin (MTO); Ogilvie, Kevin (kevin.ogilvie@ontario.ca); Tim Dickinson; Anita Sott Subject: RE: kent st overpass replacement </p><p>Further to our conversation on July 4, 2014 and your question below; the Kent Street off ramp could be closed for 1‐2 weeks before the rapid lift weekend in the summer of 2015 and 2‐3 weeks after the rapid lift weekend in the summer of 2015. </p><p>The project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2015. </p><p>If you are unable to attend the PIC, we encourage you to email your comments on the display materials presented at the PIC which will be made available on the project website at: http://queenswayexpansioneast.com/highway-417-kent- street-overpass-replacement/public-involvement/ </p><p>______</p><p>Steve Regel, P.Eng Senior Project Manager Associate Highways Department MMM Group t: 613.736.7200 x3228| f: 613.736.8710 </p><p>From: Sent: July-04-14 10:59 AM To: Steve Regel Subject: kent st overpass replacement </p><p>Thank you for your time this morning Most appreciated Just a couple more questions How long do you expect the kent st exit 417 east to be closed?

Eng. Senior Project Engineer Planning and Design Section Eastern Region Ministry of Transportation </p><p>Kent Street Overpass Replacement </p><p>Dear Mr Gibbs, </p><p>At the Open House held yesterday, 08 July, at the Dalhousie Community Centre, I directed several questions to you and your associates from MMM Group. My interest was with respect to certain recommendations contained in a planning document for Centretown, prepared by Urban Strategies for the City of Ottawa. </p><p>Of particular interest were suggestions contained in the planning report that proposed the establishment of small urban parks or landscape areas on the right-of-way lands for highway 417, which were given the designation as “Linear Landscape”. </p><p>1 My questions to you included the following: </p><p>1. Are you aware of any enquiry from the consultant to the Ministry on the feasibility or permissibility of the concept for a linear landscape on MOT lands in the Catherine Street corridor (Between <a href="/tags/Elgin_Street_(Ottawa)/" rel="tag">Elgin Street</a> and Bronson Avenue)? </p><p>2. Is it the practice within the Ministry to permit publicly accessible parkland or urban landscape within highway rights of ways? </p><p>3. Is there specific planning consideration to include “parkland” within the project for the Kent Street Overpass replacement, other than the potential placement of a bench sitting area near the Isabella Street entrance to the underpass? </p><p>An additional part of our conversation was on the engineering challenge of designing a park at the Kent Street location, - which would apply as well to other locations in the Catherine Street linear zone. The challenge you described is the slope and related grading issues of the berms, required to support the highway . The placement of a park at these locations would likely involve the construction of a significant investment in a retaining wall, which has not been a component of the cost estimate for this project. </p><p>An additional question which I did not raise with you yesterday relates to the maintenance of landscape within the rights of way for provincial highways in urban areas. Can you advise whether the responsibility for the maintenance is a municipal, provincial or shared cost when the lands are within provincial ownership? </p><p>I appreciate your assistance in clarifying the points raised above. It was a pleasure meeting with you and the consultants for this project and I thank you for taking the time to discuss the matter with me. Best wishes for a successful project implementation. </p><p>Best wishes, </p><p>2</p><p>HIGHWAY 417 KENT STREET OVERPASS REPLACEMENT, DETAIL DESIGN (WP 4033-08-01) </p><p>Design and Construction Report </p><p>APPENDIX C Agency Correspondence </p><p>ALDERVILLE FIRST NATION 11696 Second Line Chief: James R.

Ms. Sott's reply that the meeting will be "in July" was not a complete answer. I understand the final details may not have been known at the time of that reply. But clearly the final details were known as of a few days ago, in time to place an ad in today's Ottawa Citizen. </p><p>I asked the most basic of questions (something single parents with complicated life schedules do when they are trying to participate in their community) and yet even that question went unanswered. </p><p>All things aside, this puts into question the point of scheduling a babysitter and bothering to attend. If a basic question can't be answered, what level of importance will the project team place on my actual feedback on the project? Should I even bother showing up? </p><p>While I am now fully informed, I worry there are many more people who have emailed you that are still unaware there is a meeting on July 9th. </p><p>I trust you will take appropriate action and provide an email summary to everyone who has contacted you. If I may add, you should also distribute notice via email to everyone who has ever emailed the project team about any of the 417 projects (such as the previous Parkdale one). I would guess they would also be interested - but may have missed the Ottawa Citizen ad as well. </p><p>Sincerely, </p><p>1 From: Sent: June-25-14 9:43 AM To: Anita Sott Subject: Re: Invitation to Public Information Centre - Highway 417 Kent Street Overpass Replacement (WP 4033-08-01)</p><p>Has a date been decided for this replacement to occur? </p><p>On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 9:26 AM, Anita Sott <SottA@mmm.ca> wrote: </p><p>Dear Sir / Madam, </p><p>The purpose of this message is to invite you to attend a Public Information Centre (PIC) for the above-noted project.

Eng. Senior Project Engineer Planning and Design Section Eastern Region Ministry of Transportation </p><p>Kent Street Overpass Replacement </p><p>Dear Mr Gibbs, </p><p>At the Open House held yesterday, 08 July, at the Dalhousie Community Centre, I directed several questions to you and your associates from MMM Group. My interest was with respect to certain recommendations contained in a planning document for Centretown, prepared by Urban Strategies for the City of Ottawa. </p><p>Of particular interest were suggestions contained in the planning report that proposed the establishment of small urban parks or landscape areas on the right-of-way lands for highway 417, which were given the designation as “Linear Landscape”. </p><p>My questions to you included the following: </p><p>1 1. Are you aware of any enquiry from the consultant to the Ministry on the feasibility or permissibility of the concept for a linear landscape on MOT lands in the Catherine Street corridor (Between Elgin Street and Bronson Avenue)? </p><p>2. Is it the practice within the Ministry to permit publicly accessible parkland or urban landscape within highway rights of ways? </p><p>3. Is there specific planning consideration to include “parkland” within the project for the Kent Street Overpass replacement, other than the potential placement of a bench sitting area near the Isabella Street entrance to the underpass? </p><p>An additional part of our conversation was on the engineering challenge of designing a park at the Kent Street location, - which would apply as well to other locations in the Catherine Street linear zone. The challenge you described is the slope and related grading issues of the berms, required to support the highway . The placement of a park at these locations would likely involve the construction of a significant investment in a retaining wall, which has not been a component of the cost estimate for this project. </p><p>An additional question which I did not raise with you yesterday relates to the maintenance of landscape within the rights of way for provincial highways in urban areas. Can you advise whether the responsibility for the maintenance is a municipal, provincial or shared cost when the lands are within provincial ownership? </p><p>I appreciate your assistance in clarifying the points raised above. It was a pleasure meeting with you and the consultants for this project and I thank you for taking the time to discuss the matter with me. Best wishes for a successful project implementation. </p><p>Best wishes, </p><p>2 From: Steve Regel Sent: August-25-14 6:54 AM To: Cc: Gibbs, Kevin (MTO); Ogilvie, Kevin (kevin.ogilvie@ontario.ca); Tim Dickinson; Anita Sott Subject: RE: Kent St overpass replacement </p><p>Based on the traffic volumes with the detour traffic, the intersection still operated at an accepted level of service.
