Novatech Traffic Impact Study Menard East Subdivision EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Novatech has been retained to prepare a Traffic Impact Study in support of an application for Draft Plan Approval for the proposed Menard East subdivision. A TIS Update was prepared by Novatech for the Menard West Subdivision in September 2014. The study investigated the impacts of the Menard West development to the St Pierre Road/Notre Dame Street and St Guillaume Road/Route 300 intersections. The Menard West development is located across St Pierre Road from the Menard East development. The Russell Community Traffic Impact Study (AECOM, June 2018) was prepared for the Township of Russell. The study investigated the impact of future and newly developed residential subdivisions in Russell and Embrun on the existing transportation network. A total of 14 subdivisions in Embrun and 5 subdivisions in Russell were considered. The Menard East Subdivision was included in the residential subdivision referred to as ‘E3’ in this study. A total of 168 residential units were considered for the E3 subdivision. The proposed Menard East subdivision consists of approximately 37 single family houses, 116 townhouses, 7 multi-unit condos (42 units), and 10 units of multi-residential. The proposed development will include an internal road network and will be accessible by two proposed connections: one to Labelle Street and one to Richelieu Street. The residential development is expected to be completed in one phase, with full build out anticipated by 2027. This study addresses the operation of the St.Pierre Road/Notre Dame Street, Route 300/St. Augustin Road, Notre Dame Street/Blais Street, Notre Dame Street/Sainte Jeanne D’Arc Street, and St. Augustin Road/Lamadeleine Boulevard intersections.
