Scott street is being widened to accommodate an exclusive eastbound transit lane between Lanark Avenue and Island Park Drive. ➢ Additionally, the MUP on the north side of Scott Street will be increased in width to four metres. During the Transitway detour, the Westboro Station platforms will be relocated to Scott Street. Detours along Scott street to facilitate this work will be in place starting in the fall. ➢ West of Churchill Avenue, Scott Street will be extended as a temporary transitway roadway to Dominion Station. This transit-only roadway will be on the south side of the existing Transitway until a point just east of Roosevelt Avenue, at which point it will cross to the north side of the existing Transitway (south of Workman Avenue) until it meets the Sir John A MacDonald Parkway in the vicinity of existing Dominion Station. Prior to the start of the Transitway detour, noise mitigation will be installed along the south side of Workman avenue. Aspects of the design of this noise mitigation are still being worked on and more information will be available prior to the start of the detour next April. 6 SCOTT ST. DETOUR - ROOSEVELT PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT DOMINION AVE. ➢ Utilities relocation work is currently ongoing prior to bridge removal later this spring ➢ Summer installation of temporary new bridge for buses to cross over Transitway ➢ Sound buffering echo barriers will be installed near residential area at Workman/Dominion ➢ This is to allow construction of the station and guideway in Transitway trench while maintaining bus routes 7 SCOTT STREET DETOUR ➢During the detour, the new roadway will cross the transitway trench on a new temporary transit-only bridge which will be installed this summer. ➢ In order to build this bridge, the existing Roosevelt pedestrian bridge must be removed. ➢This removal will occur in May, the date has yet to be finalized. Utility relocation and other prepatory works for the pedestrian bridge removal and bus bridge installation are underway. ➢Pedestrians will be detoured to the east or the west (to cross the Transitway at either Churchill Avenue or at the Sir John A MacDonald Parkway) for the duration of this work and the Scott street Transitway detour. The pedestrian detour signage will be posted two weeks in advance of the detour starting. ➢Post construction, following the removal of the Transitway detours, the Roosevelt pedestrian Bridge will be reinstated in its original alignment. 8 NEW BRIDGE AT ROOSEVELT & DOMINION - WORKMAN AVENUES Graphic depiction only 9 KÌCHÌ SÌBÌ STATION SITE (DOMINION STATION) 10 KITCHISSIPPI LOOKOUT AND SJAM ➢ Utilities relocation between Atlantis Ave and SJAM, to Kitchissippi Lookout: May to July ➢ Work at Atlantis Avenue requires a temporary road closure May-June 2021 ➢ Boreholes to determine locations of rock underway through May 11 KITCHISSIPPI LOOKOUT AND SJAM ➢North of the Kìchì Sìbì station area, utilities relocation work between Atlantis avenue, SJAM and Kitchissipi Lookout is advancing. ➢This work will require a closure of Atlantis avenue between Lanark and Selby. Local access for residents will be maintained and a notice of road closure will be delivered to affected residents ahead of the closure starting, which is currently anticipated for mid-May. ➢The nature of the utilities relocation work won’t require major excavation or high truck traffic in the area 12 KÌCHÌ SÌBÌ STATION AREA – ALIGNMENT 13 KÌCHÌ SÌBÌ STATION AREA – ALIGNMENT ➢The image in the previous slide is a depiction of the future track alignment from Kìchì Sìbì station indicating the transition from the above ground to below ground alignment. ➢ From the station, the train will continue at-grade until proceeding into a trench behind the Canadian Institute for Health Information which will lead into the parkway tunnel and Rochester Field. ➢From grade it is a gradual 5% slope to the tunnel depth of approximately 10.5 metres 14 SLURRY PLANT AT SJAM 15 SLURRY PLANT AT SJAM ➢Installation of the slurry walls along the area behind 655 Richmond between Rochester Field and Cleary avenue, which will provide support to the parkway tunnel excavation, is progressing. Image on the previous and next slide of operations at this site. 16 SLURRY PLANT OPERATIONS ALONG SJAM 17 SLURRY PLANT AT SJAM ➢ Some complaints have been received from residents regarding issues related to loud music, profanity and dust. KEV endeavors to be a good neighbour and responsive to complaints – when they are received corrective messaging is always issued to on- site crews. ➢To control dust, the access road within this site is currently sprayed and swept at least twice a day. A dust suppressant will be laid down on the road within the next two weeks. This will reduce the need for daily spraying and sweeping but spraying and sweeping will continue on an as needed basis. These mitigation efforts help to reduce dust but cannot completely eliminate it. 18 CLEARY AVENUE ➢Cleary and Richmond area utilities work is ongoing with manholes and West Nepean Collector excavation ➢New watermain installation this summer 19 CLEARY AVENUE ➢ In the Cleary avenue and Richmond road area, excavation tied to utility relocation work, in order to make room for the construction of the tunnel, is continuing. ➢ Installation of a new 13m deep sanitary manhole for the West Nepean Collector sewer is ongoing.

    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions And

    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

  • Bells Corners Community Improvement Plan 1

    Bells Corners Community Improvement Plan 1

    Document 2 Bells Corners Community Improvement Plan 1. Background Bells Corners has been identified as needing economic development activity, particularly, measures are needed to incent urban revitalization. Over the last several decades, the quality and vibrancy of the Robertson Road corridor, between the CN Railway bridge on the east and the City-owned railway bridge (now a multi-purpose pathway) on the west, has declined significantly, resulting in a lack of business investment; declining levels of property maintenance; and the closure, downsizing, and/or relocation of many existing businesses. Some 468 business have closed or moved away from Bells Corners in this period, and well-known brands like Staples, IKEA, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wendy's, 2nd Cup, Alexanian Carpet, Burger King, Arby's, Baskin-Robbins, and Pizza Hut are all long gone. Hurley’s, a former thriving restaurant, was replaced by Local Heroes, but now it too has downsized and moved across the street, leaving a large vacant building. The restaurant that initially opened as Corkscrew Restaurant at 3795 Richmond Road (now 1961 Robertson Road) has housed a long list of businesses since Corkscrew’s failure, including Buffet Palace, Vox Lounge, Houston's Restaurant, and Miss Saigon, but now all have failed, and the building has been torn down and the land sits vacant. The purpose of this Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is to encourage and facilitate rehabilitation, redevelopment, and revitalization of the existing built environment while providing enhanced employment opportunities, all of which are important for the health and liveability of this section of Bells Corners. The CIP benefits private landowners undertaking redevelopment projects on private property; however, the eligibility and reporting criteria require that the tenants creating the jobs are made aware of the CIP incentives so they can negotiate appropriate lease terms with complete information.
