Senior Associate Project Manager This page intentionally left blank Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations Project – Cultural Heritage Report: Existing Conditions and Preliminary Impact Assessment Executive Summary Under the Stoufville Grade Separation project, Metrolinx proposes to accommodate the expansion of the Stoufville Rail Corridor through grade separations or road closure at seven traffic crossings, for the purpose of reducing traffic conflicts, enhancing on-time performance and improving operational flexibility/reliability. This project is following the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as defined in Ontario Regulation 231/08 under the Environmental Assessment Act. Cultural heritage is identified as a matter of provincial importance under the TPAP. Under the TPAP, the proponent is required to consider whether its proposed transit project could have potential negative impact on a matter of provincial importance as defined under Ontario Regulation 231/08 or on a constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty right. Metrolinx, as a prescribed public body under Ontario Regulation 157/10, is required to follow the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties, prepared under Section 25.2 of the Ontario Heritage Act, when making any decisions affecting cultural heritage resources on lands under their ownership or control. In 2018, Stantec was retained by Metrolinx to conduct an assessment of built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes for the Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations Project (the Project) located in the City of Toronto and City of Markham, Regional Municipality of York, Ontario. A Cultural Heritage Report: Existing Conditions and Preliminary Impact Assessment (Cultural Heritage Report) was undertaken to understand and describe the existing conditions within and adjacent to the Project Footprint, identify known and potential built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes, make a preliminary assessment of potential impacts, and provide mitigation options to address these impacts. No potential built heritage resources or cultural heritage landscapes were identified within the Cultural Heritage Study Area. Given that no potential built heritage resources or cultural heritage landscapes were identified, no impact assessment or recommendations are required. Therefore, no further cultural heritage studies are required for the Cultural Heritage Study Areas in accordance with Project requirements. The Executive Summary highlights key points from the report only; for complete information and findings, the reader should examine the complete report. i This page intentionally left blank Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations Project – Cultural Heritage Report: Existing Conditions and Preliminary Impact Assessment Table of Contents Executive Summary ....................................................................................................... i Project Personnel .......................................................................................................... v Abbreviations ............................................................................................................... vi 1.0 Introduction ...................................................................................................... 1.1 1.1 Project Overview ............................................................................................... 1.1 1.1.1 Study Purpose and Objectives .......................................................... 1.5 1.2 Study Areas ....................................................................................................... 1.6 2.0 Methodology .................................................................................................... 2.1 2.1 Regulatory Requirements .................................................................................. 2.1 2.2 Screening Methodology ..................................................................................... 2.3 3.0 Existing Conditions ......................................................................................... 3.1 3.1 Background and Historical Research ................................................................ 3.1 3.1.1 Denison Street and Kennedy Road—Township of Markham ............ 3.2 3.1.2 Passmore Avenue, McNicoll Avenue, Huntingwood Drive, Havendale Road and Progress Avenue—Township of Scarborough ...................................................................................... 3.7 3.2 Government and Agency Data Requests ........................................................ 3.21 3.3 Identification of Known and Potential Built Heritage Resources and Cultural Heritage Landscapes ......................................................................... 3.22 4.0 Preliminary Impact Assessment .................................................................... 4.1 4.1 Description of Proposed Undertaking ................................................................ 4.1 4.2 Identification of Preliminary Potential Project Specific Impacts.......................... 4.1 5.0 Recommendations .......................................................................................... 5.1 6.0 References ....................................................................................................... 6.1 iii Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations Project – Cultural Heritage Report: Existing Conditions and Preliminary Impact Assessment List of Figures Figure 1.1: GO Transit Networks .............................................................................. 1.1 Figure 1.2: Project Location ...................................................................................... 1.3 Figure 1.3: Cultural Heritage Study Areas -

F: 647.436.1938 STAGE 1 AA FOR THE SCARBOROUGH CENTRE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, CITY OF TORONTO, ONTARIO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Archeoworks Inc. was retained by LEA Consulting Ltd. to conduct a Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment (AA) in support of the Scarborough Centre Transportation Master Plan. The study area is primarily located just west of Midland Avenue to just east of Markham Road, from north of Highway 401 to south of Ellesmere Road, which is situated within part of Lots 18-27, Concession 1 and 2, in the Geographic Township of Scarborough, historical County of York, City of Toronto, Ontario. Background research identified elevated potential for the recovery of archaeologically significant materials within the study area. Archaeological potential was determined by the City of Toronto’s archaeological management plan, and the close proximity (within 300 metres) of: historic structures, a historic transportation routes, a commemorative plaque, previously registered archaeological sites, and two secondary hydrological resources. An on-site property inspection was conducted, where disturbances were documented within the study area, including paved roadways/parking areas, gravel roadways, roadside ditches/embankments, the rechannelling of the East and West branches of Highland Creek, utilities, extensive landscaping, and grading.

  • Highland Creek Watershed Greening Strategy
    Highland Creek Watershed Greening Strategy September 18, 2020 Prepared in partnership with the City of Toronto Highland Creek Watershed Greening Strategy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Highland Creek watershed is facing some daunting challenges, and investments in the watershed are critical to improving its ecological health and human well-being outcomes. Much of the watershed was developed between the 1950s and 1970s, during which time the landscape was quickly and drastically altered. Urbanization and loss of natural cover in the watershed have resulted in impacts on the hydrologic regime, with significant impacts to in-stream flooding and erosion, water quality, and aquatic habitat. This Highland Creek Watershed Greening Strategy (Highland Greening Strategy) has been developed to support the Highland Creek Geomorphic Systems Master Implementation Plan (HCGSMIP). The HCGSMIP established a framework for undertaking stream restoration projects across the watershed to protect infrastructure from channel erosion and improve aquatic systems and in-stream water quality over approximately two decades. The approach is that the stream restoration project would initially be built, and then the opportunities for additional enhancement of the riparian/terrestrial habitat of the Highland Creek valley system would be implemented. Ideally, the stream restoration and the greening component would be designed in tandem to ensure greening opportunities are not missed. The Highland Greening Strategy has been broadened beyond the scope of the HCGSMIP to include both the valley system as well as tableland opportunities. While there would be benefits from implementing any greening project within the watershed, the Highland Greening Strategy strategically prioritizes greening opportunities organized around four greening principles focused on natural cover, aquatic habitat, green infrastructure and land securement.
