(Stantec) was retained by Metrolinx to complete environmental studies to support planned improvements for the Lincolnville Layover and Go Station site. According to Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 157/10 (Government of Ontario 2014b), Metrolinx is identified as a prescribed public body for the purposes of Part III.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act (Government of Ontario 2009). As such, Metrolinx is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of a cultural heritage conservation policy and procedure for the identification and management of provincial heritage properties. As well, section B.4 of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport (MTCS) Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties (Standards and Guidelines), applies to all Metrolinx properties (MTCS 2010). In addition, assessment was conducted to meet the requirements of Section 2.6.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) (Government of Ontario 2014a) made under the Planning Act (Government of Ontario 1990). The purpose of this Cultural Heritage Screening Report (CHSR) is to screen the Cultural Heritage study area for properties with known or potential cultural heritage value or interest (CHVI) and make recommendations for further study, as appropriate. Further study would include completion of a Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) and Cultural Heritage Evaluation (CHE) Recommendations Report for each property identified as having known or potential CHVI as per the Metrolinx Interim Cultural Heritage Management Process (2013). Under the Metrolinx Terms of Reference, there are three possible outcomes when identifying CHVI during the screening process: 1. Potential Provincial Heritage Property - The property is owned or occupied by Metrolinx, and the answer to at least one screening question is ‘yes’ (except age). 2. Conditional Heritage Property - The property is not owned or occupied by Metrolinx and the answer to at least one question is ‘yes’ (except age). 3. Adjacent Land - The property is adjacent to a protected heritage property. This CHSR considers all properties within 50 metres (m) of the existing Lincolnville Layover Facility. The CHSR was conducted by Meaghan Rivard, Senior Cultural Heritage Specialist, Heidy Schopf, Cultural Heritage Specialist, and Laura Walter, Cultural Heritage Specialist Assistant, all with Stantec Consulting Ltd. The site visit was conducted on November 7th, 2016. () Stantec i LINCOLNVILLE GO STATION IMPROVEMENTS: CULTURAL HERITAGE SCREENING REPORT A total of 12 properties were screened as part of this study. Of these, five were found to be Conditional Heritage Properties. These include: • 13121 Tenth Line • 13203 Tenth Line • 2299 York Durham Line • 2499 York Durham Line • 2699 York Durham Line All planned improvements for the Lincolnville Layover and Go Station site are expected to take place within the existing Lincolnville GO Station Site. Accordingly, CHERs are not recommended for the five Conditional Heritage Resources since no direct or indirect impacts are anticipated to these properties resulting from the proposed work. Should the project location change, or work is proposed within 50 metres of the Conditional Heritage Resources, then drawings of the planned improvements should be reviewed to confirm if impacts are anticipated and if CHERs are required. No further work from a heritage perspective is recommended for the five properties found not to be potential,
