Mayfield West is one of three rural service centres in the Town of Caledon; the other two being Bolton and Caledon East. The Town has organized a planning team to conduct the necessary studies in support of the secondary plan. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Ltd (Paradigm) has been retained by the Town to prepare a Transportation Impact Study for the Mayfield West Phase Two development concepts and an overall transportation plan for the preferred land use concept. This report presents the findings of Part A of the transportation study for Mayfield West Phase Two. 1.1 Background On August 1, 2006 Caledon Council directed staff to commence work on terms of reference for an expansion to the Mayfield West Rural Service Centre settlement boundary, west of Highway 10. Figure 1.1 below indicates the location of the Mayfield West Rural Service Centre and the boundaries of the Phase Two study area. Caledon’s Population and Employment Forecasts and Allocations Study developed population and employment forecasts for Caledon as a whole and allocations for the communities within Caledon for the 2021 and 2031 planning horizons. For the 2021 planning horizon, the study confirmed the approved Caledon-wide population forecast of 84,444, but recommended that population be reallocated among some of the communities, including Mayfield West, within Caledon. For the 2031 planning horizon, the study recommended a Caledon-wide population forecast of 108,000. The population forecast for Mayfield West proposes an increase in the 2021 population from 13,100 to 17,000 and establishes a 2031 population forecast for Mayfield West of 26,838 persons. The Phase Two component of the Mayfield West Rural Service Centre is expected to accommodate the increased year 2021 population of about 3,900 persons and also the 2031 population forecast. The secondary planning exercise is organized in four phases as follows: Phase 1: Existing Conditions, Characterization, Opportunities and Constraints Phase 2: Selection of Preferred Land Use Scenario and ROPA Application Phase 3: Draft Secondary Plan Phase 4: Final Recommendations and Official Plan Amendment The Transportation Impact Study will be carried out over Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the secondary planning activities.

The study approach has the work organized into Part L A and Part B activities, following Phases 1 and 2 of the secondary planning exercise. OCATION The focus of the Part A work is to fully assess the existing and planned transportation system and to provide guidelines regarding roads and other transportation components as input to the development of land use plans for the Phase Two study area (i.e., the area bounded by Mayfield Road, Hurontario Street, Old School Road and Chinguacousy Road). Part A will recognize and build on other transportation planning work carried out in this area.
