Grand River Street North Class Environmental Assessment

(Class EA) Study

Welcome to the second Public Information Centre (PIC) meeting for the

County of Brant’s Grand River Street North Corridor Municipal Class EA Study.

Please record your attendance and obtain a comment sheet at the registration

desk.

Several background reports are available at the Resource Table. Should you

have any questions regarding the presentation materials, background reports

or any other aspect of the study, please speak to the County or Consultant

staff members in attendance.

We encourage your input/feedback on the material being presented on the

display boards. Please deposit completed comment sheets in the comment

box or mail/e-mail to the address at the bottom of the form by May 29, 2019.

There is an opportunity at any time during the Class EA process for interested

persons to provide written input. Any comments received will be collected

under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal

information, will become part of the public record.

1

The County of Brant initiated this Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)

for the planning of the Grand River Street North Corridor from Watt’s Pond Road

to St. Patrick Street. In response to public comments that were received at the

Community Café event in December 2017, the study area was extended south to

William Street and east to include Paris Links Road. Improvement alternatives

were developed and refined in response to input that has been received

throughout the study.

Introduction

2

The guiding principles of the Class Environmental Assessment include:

Consider all reasonable alternatives;

Provide a comprehensive assessment of the environment;

Utilize a systematic and traceable evaluation of net effects;

Provide opportunities to receive input from the public; and

Provide clear and concise documentation of the decision-making process

and public consultation program.

A Study Design describing

the study process was

prepared for agency and

public review. It is

available at the Resource

Table and was posted on

the County’s website

www.brant.ca for public

review and comments.

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Process This Study will complete phases 1 to 4 of the Class EA for a Schedule C

project by establishing the need and justification for the project, considering

all alternatives and proactively involving the public in defining a

Recommended Plan for improvements. The Class EA will follow the

requirements of the Municipal Class EA (amended 2015) and Companion

Guide (2017) a copy of which is available at the Resource Table.

If after viewing the exhibits and otherwise participating in this project, and at

the conclusion of the process you still have concerns, you have the right to

request the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to reclassify

the project through a Part II Order (or “bump-up”) to an Individual

Environmental Assessment.

Background

4

The County of Brant initiated this Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) in

August of 2017 for operational improvements to Grand River Street North, from

immediately north of Watt’s Pond Road to St. Patrick Street, located north of

downtown Paris. This Class EA Study will address existing and projected traffic

operations and safety concerns, and accommodate all road users for a 20 year

planning horizon.

In 2017, IBI completed the Grand River

Street North Corridor Transportation

Study which evaluated existing and

longer term traffic impacts resulting

from future expansion along the

corridor, primarily large residential and

commercial developments. This 2017

Traffic Study recommended the

widening of the corridor to provide 4

through lanes, with a multi-use trail on

one side of the street and a sidewalk

along the other side of the street. The

use of signalized intersections or

roundabouts at key intersections was

recommended to improve traffic flow.

Class EA approval was obtained in March 2018 for an interchange on Highway

403 at Bishopsgate Road, a key element in accommodating truck traffic and

establishing a western link to Highway 403. The 2016 Transportation Master Plan

Update recommended long term protection of an Eastern Bypass to divert

additional traffic away from downtown Paris. A potential Eastern Bypass would

represent a longer term improvement opportunity that would be beyond the

current Official Plan horizon.

PIC No. 1 Input

At the study’s first Public Information Centre, one-hundred and eight (108)

people attended the event that was held on Thursday May 24, 2018.

Conclusions from the Public Information Centre include:

Support for intersection improvements

Concern for operating speed, increased noise and visual intrusion

Concern for increased traffic along Paris Links Road and the former

railway corridor

Support for improvements to Grand River Street North for pedestrians

and active transportation

Concern for increased traffic and traffic distribution along Grand River

Street North due to residential developments

6 54.7 47.9

7 51.9 45.0

Representative receiver sites were selected to determine future noise levels

with an extension of West River Road, opposite Silver Street.

Receiver sites with a forecast noise level higher than 55 dBA (decibels) require

investigation for mitigation measures

For the sites investigated, no mitigation for noise is required

Based on the recommendation to provide visual screening, the barrier is

recommended to also include acoustical attenuation

Traffic – William Street Intersection

During peak hours, the intersection of Grand River Street North and

William Street is operating close to its capacity and is a major constraint on

development growth in North Paris.

7

To help accommodate development growth and improve safety, it is recommended:

• To use the existing curb lane to extend the southbound left turn lane, and

• Remove the angled parking north of William Street.

The loss of on-street parking can potentially be mitigated by replacing the angled

parking with parallel parking, and providing permit parking adjacent to Kings Ward

Park.

Based on current travel patterns, these improvements would accommodate a total

development growth north of William Street of approximately 700 new dwelling units

(d.u.)* and 60,000 square feet of commercial space without diversion of traffic to

alternate routes.

Development that is either proceeding or already allocated includes:

Brookfield Subdivision (391 d.u.)

Paris Grand Estates Phase 1 (125 d.u.)

Paris Grand Estates Phase 2 (100 d.u.) - allocated subject to EA completion

Together these total 616 dwelling units.

Capacity remains for only about 84 more dwelling units.

Traffic To accommodate the planned development in North Paris requires reconstruction

of Grand River Street North for a new sanitary sewer and widening to 4 lanes.

Development beyond 700 units will require additional transportation improvements

diverting traffic:

8

To the west (EA Approval exists for a Bishopsgate Road Interchange),

and/or

To a potential longer term Eastern Bypass (future EA study). The TMP

identified that an Eastern Bypass would result in much higher traffic

volumes on Paris Links Road

Reducing truck traffic on Grand River Street North and Silver Street would

improve roadway capacity. Potential diversion route alternatives are

illustrated below.

Traffic – Silver Street to Watt’s Pond Road

10

The provision of 4 through lanes on Grand River Street North will

accommodate the traffic generated by:

Interim area development levels (700 units), and

Planned ultimate development (with the addition of an alternative

diversion route)

The following exhibit provides the traffic simulation to the end of the Official

Plan horizon, which will precede full development and the implementation of

an alternative route to Highway 403. This reflects partial development of

Paris North.

The Study has assessed preliminary design alternatives for the alignments,

intersections and cross sections of Grand River Street North and West River Road.

Table 1 summarizes the groups of preliminary design alternatives that have been

evaluated. The technically preferred alternatives are shown on the following exhibits

and the analysis and evaluation report is included on the resource table.

13

Group 1: Cross-Section Alternatives

William Street to Silver Street The alternatives considered for this group included:

• Alternative A: Do Nothing • Alternative B: 3 Lanes ( not applicable for this section)

• Alternative C: 4 Lanes, No Median • Alternative D: 4 Lanes, Raised Median ( not applicable for this section)

• Alternative E: 5 Lanes ( not applicable for this section)

The comparison of these alternatives is documented in the Analysis and Evaluation

Report, found on the resources table. The alternatives are shown on the following

exhibits. The technically preferred alternative was Alternative C: 4-Lanes, No

Median. This would require changing the lane designation of the existing pavement

surface and includes the provision of additional parking.

Group 1: Cross-Section Alternatives

Silver Street to Watt’s Pond Road

The alternatives considered for this group included:

• Alternative A: Do Nothing

• Alternative B: 3 Lanes

• Alternative C: 4 Lanes, No Median

• Alternative D: 4 Lanes, Raised Median

• Alternative E: 5 Lanes

The comparison of these alternatives is documented in the Analysis and Evaluation Report,

found on the resources table. The alternatives are shown on the following exhibit.

The Technically Preferred Alternative was the 4-lane Cross-section as illustrated below.

The benefits of this alternative include:

• A wider sidewalk with boulevards create a more pedestrian friendly environment

• Provides cycling facilities for less confident cyclists, away from motor vehicles

• Provides wider curb side lanes for drainage

• Promotes complete street approach, separating different modes of travel

Group 2: Horizontal Alignment

Technically Preferred Alternative

17

The alternatives considered were:

• Alternative A: Centre – Alignment follows existing GRSN centreline

• Alternative B: East – Alignment shifted east of right-of-way (ROW) centreline

• Alternative C: West – Alignment shifted west

• Alternative D: Alignment varies – centre, east and west of ROW centreline

Alternative D was selected as the Technically Preferred Alternative. The benefits of

this alternative include:

• Minimizes the impacts to properties along the corridor

• Makes use of property owned by the County on either side of the ROW

The alignment alternatives are depicted in the following exhibit.

Group 3: William Street Intersection

Technically Preferred Alternative

19

• Extend the southbound left turn lane

• Extend the southbound left turn lane, replacing east side

existing angled parking with parallel parking and eliminating

west side on-street parking. (Mitigated by new on-street

parking on the east side of Grand River Street North, and

adjacent to King’s Ward Park)

Preferred

• Provide a southbound double left-turn lane

• Provide a southbound double left-turn lane and widen the

William Street Bridge

• Provide a westbound double right-turn lane

• Provide a westbound double right turn lane and widen the

William Street Bridge

• Provide a channelized westbound right-turn lane

• Provide a free-flow ramp for westbound right turns

- Not recommended to be carried forward

- Recommended to be carried forward

Existing angled parking north of William Street creates a safety hazard.

Motorists backing out of angled parking spaces are unable to see oncoming

traffic.

Existing parking in the southbound curb lane restricts the capacity of the

William Street Intersection resulting in increased queuing and delays on

Grand River Street North.

Proposed Relocation of existing parking results in:

• Improved Safety

• Improved Traffic Operations, and

• No Net Impact on Parking Supply

Existing Parking

Angled Parking (North of William Street) 9 Spaces

Grand River Street North (Southbound Curb Lane) 15 Spaces

Group 3: William Street Intersection Parking Mitigation Plan

This group of alternatives considered both conventional and roundabout intersections.

The intersection spacing is recommended to be 400 m. The technical evaluation has

recommended roundabout control from Silver Street north.

The benefits of the roundabout design include:

• Increased safety

• Control operating speeds

• Create gateway for the Grand River Street North corridor

• Provide more green space within the right-of-Way

The intersection alternatives considered are shown on the following exhibits.

New West River Road TPA At the first PIC, a Technically Preferred Alternative (below) was shown for the West River

Road Alternatives. Various aspects of the corridor were assessed including:

Intersection at Grand River Street North

Alignments

Connectivity to a potential future Eastern Bypass (beyond official plan horizon)

Roadway Cross Section

31

To build on previous work the study has considered additional refinements to the

new West River Road TPA presented at PIC No. 1. Four (4) alignment alternatives

including one suggested by a member of the public have been considered as

potential refinements.

Group R1: Refined New West River Road

The four (4) alternatives that were considered as potential refinements to a new West

River Road TPA include:

• Alternative A: The original PIC No. 1 TPA. This alternative was centred in the former

railway right-of-way.

• Alternative B: Shifted Alternative A, northerly two metres to provide space for the

addition of visual screening for the houses on Paris Links Road. This alternative also

modified the curve radii to match the land use plan of the Paris Grand Estates

Development.

• Alternative C: This alternative considered adding a northern collector road to Scott

Avenue through the well-zone protection area.

• Alternative D: This alternative was suggested by a member of the public and included

an alternative alignment for a potential Eastern Bypass

The alternatives and their evaluation can be found on the following exhibits.

Alternative B was selected as the preferred alternative. It reduces the community and

natural effects of Alternative A by increasing offsets to residential properties. It will also

include sound and visual screening mitigation for existing residential properties.
