TO: MaYor and Council FROM: MYron ThomPson, Assistant CAO DATE: August 18, 2005 SUBJECT: HighwaY 1l Coridor StudY regular A previous update on the Highway 11 Conidor Study was provided to Gouncil at the July 7'n mieting. Dilion Consulting, nberta lnfrastructure &Transportation staff, and members of the ;;;ii;" have continued- to participate in this study to ensure all aspects and considerations have ihe Ueen The need for ihis study was precipitated by the desire of the Province to change rt"tu""ipforeA. oi Highway 1i to a freeway designation and the need to protect the land within the roadway alignment for future development.

junction of Highway The study area encompasses Highway 1'1 from the junction of Highway 2 to th-e jurisdiction Gounty and 766, as shown in Figure 1 . This atudy area lies in the of both Red Deer I .

provide The purpose of the presentation at the August 22nd Council meeting by Dillon Consulting_is to and intoriiraiion and updates to Council and seek endorsement from our municipality forlhe findings to be iecommendations brought forward. The presentation will also provide a forum for information piouia"Jto ttr" generaliubtic. This process has been_successful as can be seen by the results in our iocal paper folloiving two similarpresenlations to Red Deer and Lacombe Counties.

Recommendations to Date as Recommended lnterchange locations (4) along Highway 1 1 between Red Deer and recommended by Dillon Consulting are at the following locations:

OrNstecklel{ADMlN REPORTSV{ighway '11 Aug 22 05 doc - Range Road 283 located near Burnt Lake Industrial Park - Highway 20 intersection - Range Road 21 west of Sylvan Lake - Secondary Highway 766

The presentation that will be provided will detail the considerations and methodology utilized to bring about the findings. lssues and Concerns

There was little concern and/or discussion about the local transportation networks and without a doubt the change in status to a freeway designation will greatly limit access. Some of the rationale utilized in decisions may be deemed to be questionable depending on the municipality involved although the consultants did utilize existing studies and documents and canied out an environmental and historical overview Anticipated growth forecasts were utilized however the depth of this study did not include traffic forecasting. Information from our current traffic study was provided to assist the consultant in better understanding our transportation needs.

The two main issues that our community may be facing are that Range Road 21 is the interchange location of choice instead of Range Road 15. The other is the intent to cut off access from Highway 781 (5Od' St) to Highway 11 instead of the right in/right out anticipated for future traffic movements as discussed with Alberta Transportation up to this time.

As Council is aware current upgrades are taking place on Range Road 15 in anticipation of this roadway being an important arterial link for our community. The effect of having highway access to the west cannot be futly determined at this time however it would appear that future TWP 384 roadway development will be key for our community. Having a second interchange located west of Sylvan Lake could have some positive benefits in that traffic from the west could be diverted onto highway 1 1 rather than accessing through the community.

Next Steps

The final report is expected to be complete by August 31 for submission to Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation and it is en expectation that the document would include'Letters of Endorsement" from the councils of the Town of Sylvan Lake, and Counties of Red Deer and Lacombe. A more detailed feasibility study will be canied out at a later date and will include a more extensive public consultation. The findings brought forward in this study will be included in an Order of Council that will be prepared and scheduled for spring 2006.

The timelines for the initiation of this are in the 15 to 25 year range depending on grovvth but it is important that we maximize our community's input and ensure that we protect our interests.

Summary

The information and recommendations contained in this report will have a fundamental affect on our community's highway access in the long term. Careful consideration is required as well as the opportunity for our consultant presently working on our traffic study to review the ramifications of the proposed highway access changes to our intemal road structure and traffic plans.

o:vsteckleMDMlN REPORTS)Highway 11 Aug 22 05 doc Recommendation

We respectfully recommend that Council consider the information presented today and that a decision is to orovide a letter of endorsement be deferred uniil such time as a report from our Consultant provided and considered.

To: Mayor and Council From: Myron ThomPson Date: August 18,2005 RE: AlbLrta Water Wastewater Feasibility Program / Regional Partnerships Initiative 1, Purpose

The provide council with information relating to an altemative that would enable the Sylvan Lake Regional Partnerships Initiative Committee to maximize funding available to complete all necessary stuiies needed to ensure that a funding application Gan be submitted to the Municipal Rural lnfrastructure Fund.

2. Discussion

The partnership has $110,000 in funding to prepare a Feasibility Study for the Regional Water and Sewer System, funded 100o/o by the Alberta Municipal Affairs Municipal Sponsorship Program. This funding ihould be adequate to prepare a study that will enable the Project Facilitator to complete the Business Plan for the Partnership.

In preparing the Business Plan for the Partnership, the Proiect Facilitator has discovered that the I federal Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund will require that an Environmental Assessment be comoleted, and a determination made that the project will not cause significant adverse environmental effects taking into account the implementation of mitigation measures, before funds can be released. The Project Facilitator, based on prior experience with , has estimated that this Environmental Assessment will cost approximately $70,000 to $80,000 for a project the size of the Sylvan Lake Regional Water and Sewer System. The Environmental Assessment can not be funded Uy tne nlunicipafRural Infrastructure Fund, or any funding plogram available under Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation. Therefore in order to access the federal monies available under the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund, the municipalities would have to fund up to an additional $80,000 for studies.

The project Facilitator is recommending to the Regional Partnership members that the-Water Wastewater Feasibility study program be accessed to assist with funding the update of the feasibility study, leaving the Regional Partnership funding to complete other components of the partnership project, incluling the Lnvironmental impact assessment, other studies related to shared services, and iAditionat project management services. Upon a review of the Municipal Sponsorship Program funding appliiation, the components of the project should still meet the approved grant. With regard to the waier wastewater program, discussions with Kim Edinga of Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation, the Feasibiliiy Study is eligible for up to 85% funding, therefore.the.local cost of the Feasibitity Study should be approximately $15,000 to $16,000. Once approved, this would leave the partnership witn $1 10,000 to continue to work on the regional partnership in accordance with the approved grant.

O:vsteckleARFD\Water Wastaweier Regional PartnEreship Aug 22 OS a*l Q $110,000

Lacombe County has agreed to be the managing partner for this component of the project and to submit a request for funding to Alberta lnfrastructure and Utilities, provided the four partners agree to sharethe local contribution as equal partners. Based on $16,000 local contribution the costs would be distributed as follows: o Lacombe County 25% - $4,000 . Red Deer County 25o/o - $4,000

. Sylvan Lake 25o/s - $4 , 000 . Summer Villages 25o/o - $4,000 ($800 per summer village)

Red Deer County Council has also had the opportunity to consider this option and have agreed to fund their 25o/o share of the local cost.

3. Alternatives

The altemative approach is to maintain the status quo. The Partnership would use the Municipal Sponsorship Program to fund the Feasibility Study, and then the Partnership would deal with the funding of the Environmental Assessment and other components of the project at a later date.

4. Financial

Budgeted amount for this years Transfer to Reserves from operating is $308,000 (acc't 2-41-00-764). The $4,000 funding share amount could be drawn from this transfer amount decreasing the amount to $304,000.

5. Recommendation

That the Town of Sylvan Lake agree to support the application for funding through Alberta Water Wastewater feasibility program and agree to fund the $4,000 share of the costs and that the funds be

To: Mayor and Council From: Myron Thompson Date: August 18,2005 RE: CommunitY Centre Painting

1. Purpose

To provide Council with a recommendation in regard to the painting of the exterior trim of the Community Centre (Capital Budget ltem CP519)

2. Discussion

In 2004 capital funding was dedicated to the Community Centre for the painting of the awning and exterior doors of the facility. The awning is the sloped portion of the roof structure and represents a substantial area of roof. The existing finish is very faded as are the doors and greatly diminishes the appearance of the building.

The project was defened as a capital project for last year to allow completion of the addition of the Comhuhity Centre and revisited this year as a project at which time the estimated cost was increased a minor amount to $8700. The Recreation and Parks Department are now wanting to proceed with the project as late summer/early fall is an excellent time to carry out such an initiative as there is reducei activity around the facility and bugs,/weather are more cooperative'

A public Request for Tenders was called with a closing date of July th. The tender packages called for specific requirements including paint specifications for the project and an outline of procedures and preparation work that would take place to ensure the project's success. There are always concems in the repainting of a pre-finished product such as that seen in this instance.

Four bids were received for the work as outlined from the following firms:

Chateau Painting and Decorating, Red Deer'...'.... $14,935 Mi-Kell Homes, Sylvan Lake..... $13,400 CL&S Painting, SYlvan Lake... .. $11,500 Pro Wash Ltd, Sylvan Lake...... $10,800 *Note - all amounts a.e exclusive of the gsf*

The two lowest bidders did not meet the requirements of the tender process in that neither provided material specifications or procedures for the work. Several requests were made providing ample opportunity for them to respond to the request however none of the material requested was ever orovided. For this reason the third lowest bid (Mi-Kell Homes) was reviewed and staff have found the information to be complete and have confidence in the process submitted and for these reasons are recommending the tender award be provided to Mi-Kell Homes.

O:Vste€kler\RFD\Community Centre ext painting Aug 2? 05.doc lt 3. Financial

Budgeted amount for this project is $8,700. Construction costs have increased substantially over the past year which would account to a degree in the increased cost for this project. lt isn't expected that deferring the project longer or re-tendering will produce an outcome more favourable so it will be recommbnded that we draw the additional funds required from the Operational Contingency Reserve account.

4. Recommendation

That Council accepts the recommendation of Administration in the award of tender for the painting of exterior trim at the Community Centre to Mi-Kell Homes in the amount of $13,400 and that the amount of $5,600 representing the funding amount over budget be drawn from the Operational Contingency Reserve account.

Town of Sylvan Lake 4926 - 50 Avenue Sylvan Lake, Alberta T4S 1A1

Attention: Mayor Brian Lambertson

Dear Mr. Lamfertson f_^.-; * Re: Centre of Policing Excellence

In 2002, the Report of the MLA Poticing Review Commiitee recommended the development of a Centre of policing Excellence for the Province of Alberta. The Honorable Harvey Genaiko, Alberta Solicitor General, is now preparing a request for Letters of Interest from communities for circulation in June 2005. Red Deei County is preparing to submit a proposal outlining the merits of locating this center within the County, and I am writing to fequest your support for our proposal.

led Deer County has always been a strong advocate of Policing in Alberta, as demonstrated by our jpecial Constabie Program. ln addition, we work cooperatively by way_of a Joint Business Plan with tt-re five RCMP Detachments who police Red Deer County to ensure safe homesisafe communities through the provision of integrated services.

We believe that an ideal location for a Centre for Policing Excellence is Red Deer County, specifically within the Hamlet of Springbrook. Located in the heart of Central Alberta, adjacent to the Red Deer Regionat Airport and ihe Highway 2l2A cf:,rridor, this area is positioned for easy a.ccess from all parts of thJProvince. Springbrook is minutes from the City of Red Deer and its many facilities and amenities, including . With the RCMP Training Kennels located nearby in Red Deer County, Springbrook is a logical location for such a Centre.

We are currently engaged in the development of a Corporate Strategic Plan that includes both a Growth Management Strategy and an Economic Development Strategy. This community-based process has identified Springbrook as a growth community and as such a Centre for Policing Excellence would be a welcome asset to the Hamlet.

Red Deer County has recently acquired propedy at Springbrook for development that will include a major outdoor recreational faciliiy. This 250-acre site also provides for an opportunity to accommodate thadevelopment of a training centre. Additionally, Alberta Police Services is familiar with the area, as they have been conducting joint training with the RCMP for a number of years at privately owned facilities in Springbrook.

Red Deer County is requesting your endorsement of our efforts in the form of a letter of support that we will include as part of our presentation package. We would appreciate your suPport in this endeavor

www reddeercounty.ab. ca 38108 Rge Rd 275, Red Deer County, Alberta T4S 2Lg t3 and request that the letter of support be foruvarded to our office al your earliest convenience. lf additional information is required, please contact Debbie Bonnett or me at 350-2152,

1.0 Purpose To propose an addition to Policy # L-001-006 - Employee Personnel Policy to correct an omission and to reflect what is currently being practiced.

2.0 Background when the above policy was rewritten in 2003, the section which addresses the compensation system was missed from the Employee Personnel Policy' lt is included in the Management Policy #L-oo1-005 and the employee committee has requested that it be mirrored in the Employee Personnel Policy

3.0 Financial lmPlications There are no financial implications for the Town with this addition as this is the process currently being followed.

4.0 Staff Recommendation That the following article be inserted into Policy #L-001-006:

TOI - Mayor and Council FROM: Elaine Campbell, Director of Finance

DATE: August 17, 2005

SUBJECT: Amendments to the Employee and Management Policies

1.0 Purpose To propose changes to Policy L-001-005 Management Personnel Policy and L-001-006 - Employee Personnel Policy to allow a change to bi-weekly pay periods for the permanent staff members.

2.0 Background The Management Personnel Policy (at the bottom of Page 12) and the Employee Personnel Policy (Article 17) contain the following paragraph: "Permanent employees shall be paid on the last day of ,the month, with an advance of up to thirty-five (35) percent on the fifteenth (15") day of the month. lf the fifteenth (15'n) or the last day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or General Holiday, pay day will be on the last working day prior to the same'" This monthly pay structure with a mid-month advance requires the payroll department to perform a large number of manual calculations and to track vacation, sick, banked time, and flex time banks manually. lt also requires employees to submit their time sheets prior to the final week of the month being worked. Managers must ensure that the payroll department is notified when there are differences between what was submitted on the timesheet and what was actually worked'

3.0 Discussion The proposal is to switch payroll for permanent employees to a bi-weekly basis with a one- week holdback so that pay is based on actual time worked rather than an estimate. Currently, our part-time employees are paid on this basis and a survey of 14 other municipalities (lnnisfail, Ponoka, Brooks, cochrane, Hinton, olds, , , Drumheller, Taber, stettler, Edson, Lacombe, and BlacKalds) showed that all but three pay on a bi-weekly basis with a 1-week holdback. Alberta Labour Standards allows up to a 10-day holdback. Because the payment of wages is covered under Alberta Labour Standards, it is not necessary to address it in Town policies. I This change would allow the payroll department to make better use of the computerized r payroll system. The system is capable of calculating and tracking vacation, sick, banked time, and flex time banks as well as performing a number of other functions currently being done manually. As the Town staff continues to grow, it is becoming unwieldy to perform manual calculations and the chance for error is increased. Z:\Admin Reports\2005 Admin Reports\2005 Personnel policy change doc t2f There has been some negative feedback from employees but, for the most part, it has been neutral or positive. The negative feedback has mainly been focused around the introduction of the one-week holdback.

4.0 Financial lmplications There are no financial implications for the Town as additional time freed up for the payroll staff member would be used to perform more important human resource functions.

For employees, there will be a financial implication because we would be introducing a one- week holdback (for example, the timesheet ending Saturday, September '10'n will be paid the following Friday). In order to mitigate the effect of this change, the Town has offered to provide an advance to be repaid gradually over the next few months or be deducted from the last pay of March 2006 (the first three-payday month).

5.0 Staff Recommendation The recommendation is to delete the "Payment of Wages, Allowance and Vacation Pay" paragraph from Page 12 of Policy L-001-005 - Management Personnel Policy and to delete Article 17 - "Payment of Wages and Allowances" from Policy L-001-006 - Employee Personnel Policy to allow the change to bi-weekly pay periods with a one-week holdback for permanent employees.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This year, Canada's Citizenship Week will be held October 17-23. Citizenship Week is a time to explore the nature of Canadjan citizenship and the underlying values ofrespect, freedom and belonging that bring us together and make Canada such a great country in which to 1ive.

I hope that your municipality will join the celebration by recognizing this important week. We are encouraging municipalities to become involved by passing a resolution proclaiming Canada's Citizenship Week. A sample resolution is enclosed for your reference.

You may also want to lead your council in a reaf{irmation of Canadian citizenship by reciting the oath of citizenship. A copy ofthe oath is enclosed, along with a copy of the Citizenship Week poster and an order form for material to support your community's participation in the Week. To ensure priority service, please fax your order to (613) 9s4-7619.

As a municipal official, I am sure you will agree that all citizens should be encouraged to take part in community activities. It is particularly important for young people to become actively engaged in citizensh:ip activities. Many of the products we have developed aim to empower young people with the concepts, understanding and skills they need to be responsible, caring and active citizens.

If you have any questions about Canada's Citizenship Week or citizenship in general, please e-mail us at [email protected]. You can also obtain more information by visiting the Citizenship and Immigration Canada Web site at www.cic.gc.ca.

Sincerely, 7* Joe Volpe, P.C., M.P.

29 July 2005 Albe(a lnfrastructure and Transpodation Highway 11 Corridor Management Study 4 DIL!-ON

1 lNTRODUCTION 1.1 Baekground Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation is planning for a system of freeways withi_n the Province to position itself more competitively in the global market. With the long distances and a relatively low population, the Province requires an effective transportation network to bring its goods and services quickly to the world market.

Highway 11 is one of the Province's vital intra-provincial links which will ultimately be constructed to freeway standards. Therefore, a corridor management study is necessary'to enable the department to take proactive steps in developing a .long term safe, efficient and effective freeway system.

The corridor management study identifies future interchange locations as well as an altemative access plan for all lands that currently access the highway. An evaluation framework was developed to identify the potential locations for an interchange. Land use, transporlation nerwork planning, topography, utilities, historical resources, and environmental considerations all contribute to the evaluation and determination of each interchanse .location. 1-2 Study Area The study area encompasses Highway l l from the junction of Highway 2 to thejunction of Highway 766, as shown in Figure L The majority of this study area lies in the jurisdiction of Red Deer County. It boarders Lacombe County from Medicine Rivcr to the Hamlet of . Zone 4 from Highway 766 to is entirely within Lacombe County.

1.3 Methodalogy This study was divided into four phases: L Project Definition; IL Preliminary Frceway layout; III. Assessment; and IV. Reporting. A communication and consultation plan was executed throughout all ofthese phases to ensure that all key stakeholders provide input and concur with the report conclusions.

1.3.1 Phase 1: Project Definition The objective of this phase was to better define the project in terms of key attributes concerning freeway development through the review of previous studies, documents, roadway, network and land-use planning. The framework for organizing information about the probable Freeway Conidor from Highway 766 to Highway 2 was developed from "Be.rt Practices for Planning and Design of Freeway Facilities" (Alberta Transportatron, January 2004)

A review was conducted on available documents including previous functiona.l plans, area structure plans, and traffic impact studies, All documents collected and reviewed are summarized in Appendix D of this report. Satellite imagery and cadastral mapping was supplied by Alberta [nfrasrrucrure and Transponation.

Traffic Data was obtarned from Alberta lnfrastructure and Transportation's website. For example, the average annual daily traffic within the study area wixi considered in reviewing potential interchange locations. Traffic volumes at individual Control Sections and Traffic Control Sections were used to detemine existing traffic patterns, volumes from major traffic generatofs, and route preferences around Sylval Lake.

Tasks for this phase include: . Collectjon and Review of Previous Studies and Documents; . Review of Municipal Roadway, Network, and Land Use Plans; . Review of Available Data - both Provincial and Municioall and . PreliminaryFieldReconnaissance.

1.3.2 Phase 2: Preliminary Freeway Layout Once the project definition stage was complete, a conceptual freeway corritlor was developed. The probable interchanges result ftom a net trade-off of opportunities and constraints lor freeway devclopment along the project area. The main tasks for this phase included: ! l,ocate future potential interchanges locations; . Identify major consfaints and opportunities associated with the potentjal interchange locatioIIs; r Create an Access Plan; and . Conduct a final field reconnaissance.

1.3.3 Phase 3: Assessment The objective of this activity was to conduct some preliminary environrnental and historical resource screening that will contribute to the opportunity and constraints assessment activity and enhance reliabifity of the outcome of the same. This activity coincided with the Freeway Layout activity ard contributes to the analysis of the potential interchange locations.

In this phase, the tasks preformed included: . An Envlonmental Overviewl and . A Historical Resourees Oven'iew.

1.3.4 Phase 4: Reporting A concise document consisting of all aspects of the study process and results was presented to the Technical Review Committee and affected Councils. . Plans prepared for the corridor (1:30,000) identifying recommended interchange locations and access plan for land parcels where access rryas removed. . The Techical Review Committee (TRC) reviewed and provided feedback on the draft report. . The project results were presented to affected Councils (Lacombe County, Red Deer County, and the Town of Sylvan Lake) for infotmation and general endorsement of the study-

1.3.5 Communication Plan and Consultation A communication plan was drafted and approved by the Technical Review Committee at rheir hrst meeting. This plan included: the role of the project manager; the contact list; schedule milestones; and Dillon's communication cornmitment.

Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation identified the key stakeholders in this project and asked administrative officers to form the Technical Review Commirtee (TRC). The key stakeholders included Red Deer County, Lacombe County, and the Town of Sylvan Lake. These representatives were responsible for providing all relevant policies and data, along with ensuring their Councils and administration were aware of the project.

The final report was presented to each of the key stakeholder Councils and a request for endorsement was sought (See Appendix E). As this is a study, the scope of consultation was limitBd to the TRC and Council presentations.

As illustrated in Table I below, there were key milestones in the communication plan approved by the TRC.

2 CORRIDOR EVALUATION 2.1 Evaluation Framework The Corridor was divided into four (4) zones for the purpose of evaluation of potential interchange locations. These zones were determined by using the existing network, natural physical barriers, existing land use and existing traffic volumes. In each ofthese zones, thcre were a nunrber of options considered for an interchange location.

Fieure 2 - CorridorZones

In evaluating the location of potential interchanges on Highway I I in the study area, the following questions were ariked:

l. Is there sufficient distance between int€rchange locations? Using the 'Best Practices for Planning and Design of Freeway Facilllie.r', interchange spacing is generally 2 km in an urban settins. and 8-16 km in a rural settins.

2. Do the future traffic volum€ projections warrant an interchange for this area? This prcjection is based on existing documentation from both the municipalities and the Province, of anticipated traffic volumes for the subject area. ln determining the number of interchanges required, the total anticipated traffic for each zone was factored into the equation.

3. Is there a strong Nortlr/South Road Network? For an interchange location, there must be a strong north south road network.

n Has this area been identified for future CommerciaVlndustriaUResidential land use growth? As an interchange location will ultimately aid in economic development,

29 July 2005 Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation Highway 11 Corridor lnlanagement Study -€ DILI-ON

ensuring that the locations align with anticipated future land use growth is critical (i.e., is it a growth node?).

Once these questjons were asked and answered, identification of possible physical constraints for the inierchange location was identified. These included: I. Topography, Utilities, Rail line; II. Environmental Conditions; and III. Potentia.l Historical Resources.

Each of these questions and constraints are expanded on below and identified in a qualitative matrix for each potential interchange in each of the four zones. This matrix was used to evaluat€ and determine the recommended interchange location in each zone. Only information that would potentially affect the location of an interchange is identified in the matrix.

2.1.1 Current Land Use and Future Land Use Policy Through a review of all available land use documents (see Appendix D), future land use growth areas were identified. Both the cunent and future land uses were mapped along the project area. The pattem of development provided a clear picture for the creation of zones and idenlification of recommended interchange Iocations.

2.1-2 Transportation Network Planning The potential interchange locations were evaluated based on their fit within the existing network. The interchanges should serve Highway I I's role as a future freeway, while providing access at a reasonable spacing consistent with Alberta's "Best Practices for Planning and Design of Freeway Facilities".

The primary function of a freeway system is a high speed, high capacity facility mainly for regional, or inter-regional / provincial use by drivers on intersecting highways. However, consideration must be given to providing efhcient access to a significant number ofexistlng and funue users. This may include access by local residents (likely regional use), or inter-regional / provincial use by drivers on intersecting highways. Care must be taken to balance the needs of local road users and regional freeway users. An access plan that identifies reasonable access to the Freeway must be considered when locating the interchange.

The existing area road network was assessed by onsite visual obsen ations, as well as using maps and aerial photos.

2,1.3 Topography & Utilities After each candidate interchange location was identified, an onsite visit was made to each location. Onsite observations were used to identify possible constraints or opportunities, such as eristing pathways, tenain, or residences. A high level assessment of the actual terrain was evaluated to ensure that an interchanse could be built.

Each interchange Iocation was examined for any major surface utilities that may conflict with construction of the interchange. A ground observation was made, with the use of aerial photographs, cadastral, and sen'icing maps to identify any potential conflicts. Underground utilities were not as readily reviewed, but cadastral mapping and surface markers were utilized where possible.

2.1.4 Environment Conditions Each proposed interchange location was examined for potential environmental impacts. Appendix C provides an overview of the environment for the project area, including the surficial geology, vegetation, and species in the area. Two Environmental Sensitive Areas were identified in the project area - Medicine River and Cygnet Lake. Neither of these areas were considered feasible for an interchange location. No species at risk have been observed or documented in the Biodiversity/species Observation Database to date.

2.1,5 Historical Resources The project area as a whole, and each proposed interchange location, was examined for potential historical resource impacts. AppendLx R provides a detailed Historical Resources Overview of the project area, including all relevant references and citations. Historical Resources Inventory Assessment areas (HRIA) were identified for the study area as a whole. These zueas were identified as requiring furthcr study as part of a feasibility study prior to cons uction to mitigate any potential resources in lhe area. This is a very high level review of the area using existing data, experience in the area, and experience with similar terrain. No new field work was required in the project area-

3 RECOMMENDEDINTERCHANGELOCATIONS 3.1 General Overview The following section expands on the qualitative matrix in the identification of the recommended interchanges. The selected option for each zone is depicted in Drawings I to 4. Selected interchange locations are represented by a 1000 metre diameter circle, which accounts for most interchange facility right of way requirements.

3.2 Zone 1 - Burnt Lake Interchange Recommendation: Option 1A at 31+8fi), Range Road 282

1. Facililate Growth of the Burnt Lake Industrial Area This interchange would serve commercial traffic to and from the Burnt Lake Industrial area. As outlined in the Red Deer County Draft Growth Management Strakgy, this area is recommended as a central coridor growth area. It is anticipated that this area will growth significantly between Highway I I and I IA, as well as west. Th.is interchange location will Iacilitate growth of this industrial area and accommodatc commcrcial traffic.

2. Signalizeil Intersection Traffic Capacity The only curent access to Highway I I from the industrial park is the all-turns signalized intersection 2.5 km east of the proposed interchange. There are existing heavy volumes of traffic at this intersection and altemative access will soon be required.

3. Eristing Country Residential and Golf Course This interchange is approximately 1,6 km from Range Road 283 and the access to the current land development. An interchange at Rarge Road 282 would service the existing country residential community, northwest of the interchange, as well as lhe proposed country residential to the south of the highway and adjacent existing golf course. The spacing from this land development is preferred to ensure that residents maintain their current environment. Having tbe interchange 1.6 km away will ensure that: excess noise from freeway traffic access to the interchange is minimized; residents will not be able to see the interchange from residents or golf course; and, there will be no additional traffic through adjacent Range Road 283. Township road 283 and Hwy 596 provide a strong easVwest network from these properties to the interchange.

4, Environmental Conditions and Historical Resources Option lA offers no environmental or potentia.l historical rssources constraints. It is cultivated agricultural Iand with no visible natural barriers to deveJopment.

29 July 2005 Albefta Infrastructure and Transportation HighvJay 11 Corridor Managerr']ent StJdy € DILI.ON

3.3 Zone 2 - Hwy 20 Interchange Recommendation: Option 2A at 14+500, Highway 20 Intersecticn

I. Freewa! to Freeway Interchange The Highway 1.t/20 Sylvan Lake Functional Planning Study suggests a fteeway to freeway interchange at this location. As the main access into the Town of Sylvan Lake, Highway 20 provides an intuitive location for an interchange in this zone. An interchange here would provide increased capacity for access to Sylvan Lake.

2. Future Land Use Growth The Town of Sylvan Lake has identified the area NW of the proposed interchange for annexation and future residential development. An interchange at this location would servjce new development and potential co flict can be mitigated prior to development.

3. Reroute Highway 781 Highway 781 runs dou'n the centre of Sylvan Lake to Highway 11. However, access for Highway 781 would be desirable as Highway 20 does not continue south of Highway I l. A rerouting of Highway 781, to meet Highway 20 at the interchange, would be necessuuy to mainlain a major nonh-south connection into Sylvan Lake.

4. Traffic Volume Traffic forecasting was performed to assess the traffic volumes generated in the Sylvan Lake area for the 20 year horizon. Based on the expected kaffic volumes, Highway 20 would have a kvel of Service "A" (LOS A) if all forecast Sylvan Lake traffic used Highway 20 to access Highway 11. LOS A conesponds to free flow operating conditions, where users are virtually unaffected by the presence of others in the fiaffic stream.

5, Access Plan Using existing documentation of 25 year traffic projections for the area, it is anticipated tbat all future traffic from the Town of Sylvan [-ake (including peak summer time period) can be generously accommodated on this interchange. The development ofRange Road i5 will serve as the nortb./south connection to Township Road 384 and access route to the interchange for residents on the west side of town. Township Road 384 is a strong east/west connection to the interchange for the Town of Sylvan Lake.

3.4 Zone 3 - West af Sylvan Lake Recommendation: Option3C at 2l+{X}0, Range Road 21

l Spacing Between Interchanges Using the 'Best Practices for Planning and Design of Freeway Facilities', interchange spacing is generally 2 km in an urban setting and 8- 16 km in a rural setting. The further west the interchange is located, the better the freeway network will function in this area, This Iocation is 6.5 km west ofthe interchznge at Highway 20 and divert through lraffic west of the town.

29 July 2005 raqe rJ A berta Infrdstructufe and Transportation Highwey 11 Corridor Management Study ,€ DILI-ON

2, Traffic Volumes In consideration of the number of interchanges requifed for the project area. It appeared from traffic forecastilg that three interchanges would more than adequately service the area. However, in reviewing the area west of Sylvan Lake, it is anticipated that the interchange at I{wy 20 will serve the residents, as well as draw all of the traffic west of Sylvan Lake, into the town to access the interchange at Hwy 20. To ensure that the Town is not inundated by Freeway through traffic, it was determined that a second interchange west of the Town would be required. AII Freeway traffic west of Sylvan Lake can access this interchange ald not be drawn through town. AII traffic from the west that require access to the Town of Sylvan Lake can do so at Highway 1lA and/or the interchange at Highway 20.

3. Future Land Use Growth This area has been identified in the draft Red Deer County Growth Management Strategy as a growth node. As well, the Sylvan Lake Management Plan anticipates the majority of growth to be within a I mile circumference of the lake. An interchange at Range Road 2l links to Half Moon Bay and will facilitate a strong north/south road network for future growth around the lake.

4. Railway Reslriction The active railway is approximately 250 metres from Highway l1 at Range Road 21. There will be further study required ir terms of the detailed planning of the intercbange with respects to its location and design adjacent to a railway.

5. Environmental Conditions and Historical Resourus Option 3C has an undisturbed forest grove on both the north and south side of the intersection ofHwy 1l and Range Road 21. There is a potential for deposition and encountering undisturbed cultural materials. Further siudy and a feasibility assessment would be required prior to constmction. As well, there is documentation of a cemetery southeast of this location. The exact location is unl

3.5 Zone 4 - Hwy 766 Recommendation: Option 4A at 00+000

1. Strong Norlh/South Network Highway 766 provide a strong north./south network for residents west of Medicine fuver aad beyond. An interchange at this location would provide access to the Freeway for both commercial and public traffic. An extension would be required to connect the south leg of Highway 766 to the interchange.

2, Ut ities The nonh leg (Option 4A') is a significantly superior location for the interchange than the south leg due to the higher number of utility constraints at the southern leg.

29 July 2005 Page l.l Alberta Infrastructure and TransDortation Highway 1l Corridor Management Study .€ DILI.oN

3.6 Access Plan

The upgrading of Highway 1l from a primary highway to a fully controlled access freeway facility requires the closure of all direct accesses except the proposed interchange locations. Any properties that currently have access only to Highway 1 I will require an alternate route, such as an all weather service road, or a reconnected "mile" road back to the existing local road network. These areas have been identified in Appendix A.

The study area around Highway I I has a well developed local road network, and the site visits revealed there has already been a conscious effort to limit new direct access to the Highway, This is an important safety consideration for any high speed road facility as it limits potential collision points, concentrates cross traffic, and a.llows for relatively free flow conditions between direct accesses.

Drawings I tkough 4 in Appendix A illustrate the suggested local road improvements required to service land to the nearest quarter section assuming a fully controlled freeway facility with the recommended interchanges. These local road improvements were based on the most cost effective route for road extensions, bearing in mind local condirions such as environmental, historical resources, utility corridors, existing land development, and proximity to roads and Highways.

Some local road extensions are suggested to provide more direct access from major roads to the intercharge locations such as the Highway 766 realignment ard Highway 20 to Highway 781.

3.7 Conclusion

The Highway 11 coridor between Highway 2 and Highway 766 and the proposed interchanges were evaluated with reference to the following factors: . Land use; . Transportation network planning; . Topography and Utilities. e Environmental overview; and r Historicalresources.

Dividing the project area into 4 zones, a qualitative matrix was developed cotelating all of the factors against each proposed interchange in the zone area- The.se options were presented and discussed and debated with the Technical Review Committee. Additional research and revisions were made based on the Committee's comments resulted in the recommended interchanges.

The evaluation resulted in the follorving four recommended future interchanges for the project arca, Zone I - Burnt Lake Area Option 1A at 31+800, Range Road 282 Zone 2 - Sylvan Lake Area Option 2A at 20+600, Highway 20 intersection Zone 3 - West Sylvan Lake Area Option3A at 14+000, Range Road 21 Zone 4 - Hwy 766 Option 4A at 0+000

Appendix A includes maps ofthe recommended interchange locations as we.ll as outlines the rcquired access plan for properties that will no longer have access to Highway i I when it becomes a Freeway. As some local residents will be impacted by this freeway limited acccss, they will be consulted as pad of the next phase - feasibility study for each interchange location and resulting access plan for local road development.

Environmental Overview

29 July 2005 Hage L- r "4 DILI.ON

1 Environmental Overvtew The proposed interchange locations along Highway l1 between Highway 2 (Red Deer) and Highway 766 (ust past Benalto) cover a diverse natural area. The Biophysical Resources refers to all aspects ofa landscape including climate, bedrock and surficial geology, surface and ground waters, soils, toPogaphy and landform, and vegetative or land cover- At present, large portions of native habitats have been disturbed and converted to other uses such as oil and gas, industry, urban development and agdculture' All of these uses put pressure on the native species and habitats. The area is characterized by extensive agr.icultural development, with fields adjacent to the highway corridor either grazed or cultivated for crops. As well there are a number of residential communilies that access Highway 1 I as their main commuter link to the City of Red Deer.

The Alberta Community Development - Parks and Protected Areas Division, has divided the province into five natural sub regions. The frst and second interchange locations, East of Sylvan Lake are located in the Central Parkland Subregion of the Parkland Natural Region. The Benalto interchange to Highway 766 border the Central Parkland Subregion and the Dry Mixed Wood Subregion of tle Boreal Forest Region.

1.1 Central Parkland Subregion The Central Parkland Subregion is characterized with aspen forest, grasslands, and wetlands. The three major drainage basins for the project area include the , Sylvan/Bumt Lakes, and the Medicine River. The three main land systems include Mintlaw PIan, Plan, and Benalto Upland, The land surface form dominant in the subject area is undulating plans, described as a wavy surface form that has low relief and fairly gentle, short slops. Land coverage (vegetation) includes forage, cropland grassland, shrubVtrees (Beau Teue Soilscapes Consulting 2003).

Surficial deposits ralge intermediate-textured hummocky and ground moraines to fine- textured glaciolacustrine deposits and course outwash, kame moraine, and dune field materials (ANHIC, 2004). The surficial deposits SE of Sylvan Lake and including the Cygnet Lake area are organic (Peat). The rest of the area is Glacial Till (ice), with one unburied River between Cygnet Lake and Highway 2 @eau Terre Soilscapes Consulting 2003). The ricb soil includes both Black and Dark Brown Cheronozems predominate under grasslands while under aspen woodlands, Dark Gray Chernozems and Luvisolics are most common (Sweetgrass Consultarts Ltd.l997).

The project area has a few groves of aspen and little or no native grasslands. Large scale clearing for land development aad agricultural creates scarce native grasslands. There appean to be evidence of morainal and glaciolacustrine materials; a Populous tremuloides tlpe and a Populus balsamifera type on moister sites in depressions (ANHIC, 2004). Major species include snowberry, rose, chokecherry, and saskatoon (Sweet$ass Consultants Ltd. I 997). "€ atHf,,l:

Animals of the Subregion include upland sandpiper, spraque's pipit, baird's sparrow, woodchuck, broad-winged hawk, rose-breasted grosbea\ franklin's ground squirrel and piping plover (Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd.1997). Bald eagle and osprey can be found around lake areas (ANHIC, 2004). The northem shrike ald artic loon along with willow ptarmigan and occasionally, barren ground caribou and artic fox may be found in this subregion (ANHIC, 2004).

1.2 Dry Mixed Wood Subregion The Dry Mixed Wood Subregion is characterized by low relief and level to undulating tenain (ANHIC,2004). Surficial materials are mosdy tiil as ground moraine and hummocky landforms with some areas of Aeolian dunes and sandy outwash plain (ANHIC, 2004). Soils include Gray Luvisols and Eutric Brunisols, as well as, Organics and Gleysolics (Sweetgrass Consultants 11d.1997).

The vegetation is very similar to the Central Parkland Subregion (Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd.1997) There is both aspen and balsam poplar. A visual inspection sbows large stands of deciduous trees. Major species include least flycatcher, hose wren, northem (baltiaore) oriole and rose-breasted grosbeak (ANHIC, 2004). Other species include yellow-bellied sapsucker, swainson's tbrush, magnolia warbler, white{hroated sparow, pileated woodpecker and northem goshawk (Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd.1997) Mammals present in the area include lyr, ermine, black bear, varying hare, , and the beaver (ANHIC, 2004).

1-3 Environmentally Significant Areas There are no Environmentally Signifrcant Areas in the identified interchange locations @nvironmentally Significant Areas of Alberta, 2001).

The Environmentally Signifi.cant Areas Study for the County of Red Deer identifies regional, Provincial, National, and Intemational significance sites in the study area. Regional Significant Areas are ". . . features which are of limited distribution or are the best examples of a feature in the region."(Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd.1990) The two regional environmentally significant areas in the subject study are the Cygnet Lake Area and the Medicine River.

Cygnet Lake Area is owled by Ducks Unlimited and includes major features such as 'Key Waterfowl, Shorebird and Manhbird Habitat' in the Environmentally Significant Areas Study for the County of Red Deer (Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd.1990). Cygnet Lake is the wetland remnant of a larger lake previously known as Bumt Lake which in tum was a remnant of a lake known as Swan Lake. Historically Swan Lake was about the size of Sylvan Lake. Cygnet Lake was a shallow and marshy wetland and formerly prime spawning grounds for pike and perch. The loss of connection to Sylvan Lake has caused a decline in the fishery {Kerr, 1989). DILI.ON

Highway I I crosses the Medicine River which features include Waterfowl Habitat' Uncommon Plarts, and Sandy Parkland (Sweetgass Consultants Ltd.1990).

1.4 Species located in the Area The BiodiversityiSpecies Observation Database (BSOD) stores information on the location ald number of rare and sensitive wi.ldlife species in Alberta. As many areas in Alberta have not been suneyed comprehensively, the obsen'ations in the Database are not intended to establish the presence, absence, or status of species in a given area- Having said that, the followilg species have been observed north ofthe project area in Lacombe County. 1. Boreal Toad; 2. Great Gray Owl; 3. Red Sided Garter Snakel 4- Peregrin Falcon; 5. Wandering Shrew; and 6. The Canadial Toad. No actual sightings havo been documented in the project area- However, the Yellow Rail Bird and the Monarch Bunerfly have been identified as species of special concern in by both Sara: Species at Risk Act, and COSEWIC: The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Carada. 1.5 Methodology The environmental overview of the subject project area was conducted in two stages. The frst stage was a desktop review of the Township areas 38 and 39' This included a database search of the Biodiversity/Species Observation Database (BSOD) for wildlife species at risk and a review of the Natural Heritage Information Centre (ANHIC) for known rare plant occunences. A literary review was conducted through a web search'

The second stage consisted of a field visit to the subject project area, with specific attention to the potential intercbange sites. Photos, video, and field notes were taken ard confirmed the desktop results. The field study provided additional site-specific infonnation to identify environmental constraints.

The environmental issues were based on availability of existing inforrnation on the area and field observations. Upon completion of the freld survey and desklop review' environmental issues were consolidated and assessed for each potential interchange' Further investigation may be required at the feasibility stage of the project. 4 DILI.ON

Revierv of Previous Studies and Documents

29 July 2005 Yage u- r € DII-I-oN

1.0 REVIEW OF PREVIOUS STUDIES & DOCUMENTS

The subjed project study area is wihin or adjacent to the County of Red Deer, the County of Lacombe and the Town of Sylyan Lake. As primary stakeholders affected by or affeding the study area, it was deemed necessary to review all relevant planning and transportation policy documents. The following documents are summarized to highlight any policies that may impact the assessment and design for the future freeway netwo* and interchange locations for Highway 11 between Highway 2 and 766.

1.1 Red DeerCounty 1.1.1 Red Deer County Municipal Development Plan: Planning Our Future: 1998 - 2010 (Bylaw no. 16/98) This comprehensive planning document will guide and direct decisions regarding growth, development and stategic invesunenb in inhastructure to tfie year 2010, Anticipated population growth for the County is almost 26,000 persons by the year 2010,

Section 10,2 sbtes the need for a long-range C.ounty Transportatjon Plan to coordinate future roadway design and improvements wi$: long-term plans of neiqhbouring municipalities and Alberta Transportation and Lftilibes.

Under Implementation ard Financing, Section13.5b)c) the MDP sbtes that a long-range cognff Tmnsrytation Plan and d$gn Guidelines for the Highway 2 and 11 conidors is to be developed in partnership with the City of Red Deer, The Towns of Bowden, Innisfuil, and Sylvan Lake, and Alberb Transportation and lftilities. The design guidelines will aid to improve the visual quality of primary highway conidors for public and private lands along primary highway corridors to enhance their visual qualities and economic development potential as 'major qate4days' to the Central Alberta Region.

Map Z: Future Land Use Concepts - indicate that there will be some country residential, along with fringe area growth around Syhran Lake. Industria/Commercial adjacent to Highway 2 will be exoanded. I.l.2 Burnt Lake Area Structure Plan Off-Site Levy (Transportation) - October 2000 This Area Structure Plan shows the odsting Roadway system. as well as a proposed future rcdway system, to service the Burnt Lake Area. Two opuons for long-term road networks are presented.

The €xisting road structure is depicted with 4 accesses to Hwy 11 in this area; - a 7.5m gravel road at Range Road 282, T-Intersection - a paved 9.5m road 4-way intersection at Range Road 281 - paved Highway 2,4-Way intersection - Unnamed "Road Segment C"; paved 9m T-Intersection

Both future road network options depict the Road Segment C as the primary access to the Burnt Lake area, In full development, this access is shown as a 4-way intersection, with traffic control signals. The south leg of the Range Road 281 intersection, Burnt Lake Trail, cunently allows

Page 1 of 6 4 DILI..ON

access to Highway 11, Road network options depict this access as closed, with realignment to allow access at Road Segment C,

Traffic Development forecasts are presented for the full development scenario, depicting a design hour volume of 1400vph traveling north-soulh on road segment C,

1,1,3 Red Deer County Burnt lake Are Strucbre Plan (Bylaw 15/99) This Area Strudure Plan (ASP) provides a framework for the long-term suMivision and development of the lands referred to as the Bumt Lake plan area. Highway 11 extends west from Highway 2 through the middle of the Burnt LEke plan area.

All access to internal development within Burnt lake plan area will continue to be off of Highways 11 and 11A. As there is no longer an opportunity for a seMce road along Highway 11 within the confines of the plan area. opportunibes for strip highway commercial development have been eliminated. Business developmert will occur due to the highway upgmdes sudr as the realignment of secondary Highway 596 to the Fascas intersection; the construction of this intersection to a signalized all turn access, closure of existing se@ndary Highway 596 intersection, the twinning of Highway 11; and the improvements of the Highway 11/2 interchange. Flgure 5 in the ASP shows the future Land Use Concept map for the Burnt Lake ARP. The areas adjacent to Highway 11 include mixed Use Business Indusbial, Commercial, and Country Residential.

1.1.4 Environmenblly Significant Areas of the County of Red Deer (March 1990) The purpose of this report is to identiry Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA!) in Red Deer County. These areas are considered critical in maintaining ecological processes and conbin many of Albeda's native habitats. The identification and management of ESA's provides a useful tool in iand use planning. The two areas identified that are in the subject project area are cygnet Lake and Medicine River. Both of these areas will be affected by the development of the Freeway, but no inberchange is proposed in these locations. Therefiore, further study at the time of a feasibility study, will be required. 1.1.5 Red Deer County Corporate Strategic Plan - Growth Management Strategy (draft May 2005) The purpose of this strategic plan is to provide guldance to planneB ln directing growth to respect local character, support financial susbainable growth, diversify the local economy and enhance the Counfy's agricultural sector, Anucipated growth is between 5,300 and 8,300 new residenb in the County by 2030. Wffi the anticipated residential growth will come increased employment in industrial and seNice-related businesses,

The recomrnended growth management strategy is a combination of centralized growth around the Oty of Red Deer and Highway two, along with direct growth to eight idenufied nodes around the county, By concentrating growth in a centrdlized area and specific nodes, intensified agriclltural production will have adequate space,

The residential growth outside of the cenbal area will be in the form of hiqher density, serviced housing in Sprlngbroolf Benalto, and , as well as new nodes near Sylvan, Pin. and Gleniffer Lakes. New nodes west and east of the City of Red Deer along highways 11A and 595 respectively will also enmurage service cent€s for County residenLs.

SyMan lake is a local service cenfe and commuter community, It is anticipated that the Town will continue to grow primarily in residential, with some convenience and service oriented commercial, Using the long range average annual rate of 3.58 percent growth, there could be an additional 11,926 persons by 2079 for a total population of 20,040'

Anucipated growth and annexation of land includes development adjacent (and north) of Highway 11 from Highway 20 to one quarter sedlon Past Ridge Road 15. This long term grov'rth area is indicated as residential - low density, cornmercial on the NW and NE corner of Ridge Road 15 and Hwy llf a private camp ground and the existing Southland Golf course. The Town will work with Alberta Utilities and Trdnsportrtion, to ensure this growth shall not be detrimental to the flow uses and safety of highway tEffic. As well as limit the number of existing accesses/driveways onto the highways to improve traffic safety. The general appearance and landscaplng along Highway 11 will create visually appealing entry ways into the community.

1.3,4 Town of Sylvan Lake Traffic Impact Study' May 2004 (Y\ t to review) This traffic Impact Study provides an overview of the potengal development and traffic generdtion for a *udy area within Township No. 39-2 (north of the west junction to Hwy 11/11A, Full development is estimated in excess of 20 years.

Traffic counts were performed to establish background traffic condl$ons. In addition, traffic volumes for Hwy 11 were taken from published Transportation Dab for 2003.

The total estimate of development trafflc on Highway 11, west of the Hwy 11/114 junction, is 8146 vehicles, to and from the site in a given day.

The report identifies possible upgrades to rural roads and intersections. An initial major intersection is suggested at either Range Road 3-0 or 2-5. If a second major intersection were considered, it is suggested to be separated 2 miles from the first intersection.

Cost estimates for specific upgrades are provided for inte6ections and roadway

Key Management Study; stakeholders include Red Deer County, Lacombe County and the Town of 258.08.05 Sylvan Lake. The final report was presented to each ef the key stakeholders Councils with a request for endorsernent.

Councils' discussions and concerns revolved around the determination of the interchange locations that were established by the consultant in the study and the fact that only one interchange location is designated for Sylvan Lake at Highway #20. The majority lelt that the interchange identified for Range Road 2 t (3,2 km west of SyJvan Lake) would bc better placed at Range Road 15,

Serious consideration should be given to classiiying Highway I I as a 'lieeway'. The timelines in the repod appear to be l5 to ?0 years, however, decisions made now will have a profound effect on rcsidents of Sylvan Lake and will certainly atfect future development taking place.
