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.

Today is a day worthy of celebration, even as, in common with citizens around the globe, we continue to face a crisis virtually unknown to living generations. The world has been turned on its head. My first thoughts are with those who have succumbed to COVID-19, and their families. The stories of the last few months tell of hardship and inequality. They have exposed weaknesses in the economic and social systems upon which we rely, and have confirmed our interdependence with those beyond our neighbourhoods and our country. We grieve collectively. But in equal measure, we are witnessing empathy, collaboration, creativity, and courage. Deserving of special gratitude are the many frontline workers who are bravely leading us through this crisis, and also the millions of people across Ontario, especially seniors, who are, at great personal cost, doing the right thing and staying home to prevent the spread of the virus.
