APPENDIX A – Survey Questions and Results APPENDIX B – Additional Information on Contracting and Procurement Final Report | Town of Innisfil Transit Feasibility Study MMM Group Limited | September 2015 | 1515009 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Town of Innisfil is a growing municipality within Simcoe County that has developed a vision for its future: “The place to be by 2020”. As the population grows, the Town is aiming to dramatically improve quality of life, showcase Innisfil’s diversity and appeal, and make sure businesses can excel. In line with these objectives and with the recommendations of the Innisfil Transportation Master Plan, the Town is evaluating the need for public transit and considering the options for transit in Innisfil. Building on the work completed by the Town of Innisfil as part of the Transportation Master Plan and subsequently, MMM Group conducted a Transit Feasibility Study that reviews the options for transit and develops recommendations for the coming years. The specific objectives of the Study are as follows: ► To identify Innisfil public transit needs; ► To develop a transit network concept, service plan and service standards for transit that address community needs and meet Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requirements; ► To recommend a service delivery model, business plan, financial plan and implementation plan for the recommended transit service; and ► To engage the public and stakeholders in a dialogue about transit in Innisfil. Public and Stakeholder Consultation As part of the Transit Feasibility Study, the consultant team worked with Town staff to undertake a wide range of consultation and engagement activities including the following: ► Statistically valid telephone survey of Innisfil residents and online survey; ► Stakeholder workshops with Nantyr Shores Secondary School, Sandycove Acres and the Innisfil Accessibility Committee; ► Two public open houses; and ► Conversations with Innisfil business representatives, Barrie Transit, the County of Simcoe, Tanger Outlet Mall, Georgian Downs and others. The consultation activities indicated a strong need for transit and a high level of support for transit among Town residents. Frequently mentioned themes included the importance of transit for youth, seniors and people with disabilities; the need for transit to access jobs, education, shopping, recreation, health services, and other destinations; and community benefits related to property values, quality of life and ability to attract future growth. At the same time, some residents expressed concerns about transit due to the additional costs for the Town and taxpayers, and the rural geography of the Town. The results of the telephone survey are particularly informative, as they represent a randomly selected cross-section of residents. Environics Research conducted a statistically valid automated telephone Final Report | Town of Innisfil Transit Feasibility Study MMM Group Limited | September 2015 | 1515009 iii survey of 477 Innisfil residents on June 8, 2015. The margin of error for a sample of 477 is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points (at the 95% confidence level). Key findings of the telephone survey are as follows: ► There is widespread support (77%) for the introduction of a public transit service in Innisfil. More than half of survey respondents (56%) indicated that they “strongly support” the introduction of public transit in Innisfil. ► More than six in ten residents believe

  • Draft Plan of Subdivision
    TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION FINAL ▪ MARCH 2019 REPORT PREPARED FOR BALLYMORE BUILDING (BARRIE) CORP. 12840 YONGE STREET RICHMOND HILL, ON L4E 4H1 REPORT PREPARED BY THE MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP LTD. 8800 DUFFERIN STREET, SUITE 200 VAUGHAN, ON L4K 0C5 (905) 738-5700 TMIG PROJECT NUMBER 17163 this report has been formatted for double-sided printing BALLYMORE BUILDING (BARRIE) TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY CORP. DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION FINAL • MARCH 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ballymore Building (Barrie) Corp. retained The Municipal Infrastructure Group (TMIG) to prepare this traffic impact study in support of the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision residential development located on a 26.4 Hectare parcel of land in the south half of Lot 16, Concession 11 within what is known as Phase 1 and Phase 3 lands of the Hewitt’s Secondary Plan in the City of Barrie. This report determines the Ballymore-related site traffic and the subsequent traffic-related impacts on the adjacent road network during the weekday AM and PM peak hours. The proposed subdivision is situated adjacent to the north side of Lockhart Road, abutting the east side of the CN Rail line (east of Yonge Street). Ballymore’s lands are bisected by a large Natural Heritage System (NHS), effectively splitting the development into two distinct parcels consisting of a total of 469 residential units. The northerly portion (in Hewitt’s Phase 1) of the Ballymore subdivision proposes 87 street-related freehold townhouses, while the southerly portion (in Hewitt’s Phase 3) proposes a mix of townhouses and apartments totalling approximately 382 units.

    New Station Initial Business Case Milton-Trafalgar Final October 2020 New Station Initial Business Case Milton-Trafalgar Final October 2020 Contents Introduction 1 The Case for Change 4 Investment Option 12 Strategic Case 18 Economic Case 31 Financial Case 37 Deliverability and Operations Case 41 Business Case Summary 45 iv Executive Summary Introduction The Town of Milton in association with a landowner’s group (the Proponent) approached Metrolinx to assess the opportunity to develop a new GO rail station on the south side of the Milton Corridor, west of Trafalgar Road. This market-driven initiative assumes the proposed station would be planned and paid for by the private sector. Once built, the station would be transferred to Metrolinx who would own and operate it. The proposed station location is on undeveloped land, at the heart of both the Trafalgar Corridor and Agerton Employment Secondary Plan Areas studied by the Town of Milton in 2017. As such, the project offers the Town of Milton the opportunity to realize an attractive and vibrant transit-oriented community that has the potential to benefit the entire region. Option for Analysis This Initial Business Case (IBC) assesses a single option for the proposed station. The opening-day concept plan includes one new side platform to the north of the corridor, with protection for a future second platform to the south. The site includes 1,000 parking spots, a passenger pick-up/drop-off area (40 wait spaces, 10 load spaces), bicycle parking (128 covered spaces, 64 secured spaces) and a bus loop including 11 sawtooth bus bays.
