If the proposed developmentA redevelopment is to be constructed in phases, a description must be provided for each phase, identifyin0 the proposed timin0 of implementation. Existing Conditions (Section 2.0) § Existin0 roads and ramps in the study area, includin0 jurisdiction, classification, number of lanes, and posted speed limit; § Existin0 intersections, indicatin0 type of control, lane confi0urations, turnin0 restrictions, and any other relevant data 9e.0., extraordinary lane widths, 0rades, etc.:; § Existin0 access points to adjacent developments 9both sides of all roads borderin0 the site:; § Existin0 transit system, includin0 stations and stops; § Existin0 on- and off-road bicycle facilities and pedestrian sidewalks and pathway networks; § Existin0 system operations 9DAC, 3OS:; and § Major trip 0eneratorsA attractors within the Study Area should be indicated. .he C.S report must include fi0ures documentin0 the existin0 travel demands by mode. A photo0raphic inventory of the transportation network elements in the vicinity of the proposed access points would be beneficial to staff in their review of the ConsultantEs report. Demand Forecasting (Section 3.0) § 1eneral back0round 0rowth; § Other study area developments; § Chan0es to the study area road network; § .rip 0eneration rates; § .rip distribution and assi0nment: • include fi0ures documentin0 total future travel demands by mode for each horiBon year. Impact Analysis (Section 4.0) § Network Capacity Analysis; § Non-auto network connections and continuity; § Potential for community impacts, and § .DM. Mitigation Measures and Site Design Characteristics (Section 4.0) .he C.S must identify all miti0ation measures required to offset network impacts from the development. .he C.S must also identify key site desi0n features required to implement the Official Plan and .ransportation Master Plan policies re0ardin0 site development. .he C.S must include all of the followin0, where they are required by the subject development: § Major network elements required to brin0 the screenlines to or below acceptable operatin0 0uidelines, and comments re0ardin0 consistency of the requirements with the .ransportation Master Plan and Capital Bud0et; § 3ocation and timin0 of proposed chan0es to existin0 traffic controls at intersections 9e.0., new traffic si0nals, Stop si0ns, etc.:; § 3ocation and timin0 of new intersections, includin0 proposed traffic control measures 9e.0., traffic si0nals, etc.:; § Requirements for new auxiliary lanes; § Miti0ation measures required to offset impacts on the surface and Rapid .ransit networks; § New or modified elements of the bicycle and pedestrian networks; § Community impact miti0ation measures; § Demonstration that Official Plan policies re0ardin0 transit-supportive developments have been incorporated appropriately; and § Proposed .DM features or pro0rams to support the site development.
