Transportation Key Findings: Significant congestion on Green Lane is anticipated The proposed Highway 404 flyover relieves pressure on Green Lane and facilitates active transportation and transit One north-south collector road east of Highway 404 is sufficient Google.ca
Transportation Costs Town’s preliminary estimated transportation costs are $35 million including: Highway 404 flyover - $8.5 million assuming Town pays 1/3 of total cost as per DC Background Study East west collector road from Leslie to Woodbine - $11.2 million North south collector - $12.5 million Other collector roads and connections - $2.8 million Google.ca
Water Water will be extended to the area via crossings of Highway 404 There will ultimately be a regional trunk watermain on Woodbine Google.ca
Wastewater Wastewater must be extended to the area and a temporary pumping station will be required on Woodbine Ave inside the Secondary Plan area (blue square) until the permanent one is built further north (red square) Google.ca Wastewater
Water & Wastewater Costs Town’s estimated watermain costs are approximately $13 million including: Highway 404 crossings - $5 million Local watermain on Green Lane - $3.5 million Other local watermains - $4.5 million Town’s estimated sewer main costs are approximately $23 million including: Interim forcemain and pumping station - $6.25 million Sewer main along Green Lane - $7.6 million Other local sewer mains - $9.5 million Google.ca
Stormwater Stormwater will be controlled on each site through low impact development options (such as those shown in the photos) so no new stormwater ponds will be created Google.ca
Utilities Town staff and the Broadband Committee are working with the Region of York and service providers to install fiber optics north along Woodbine Avenue and ensure the future Employment Area has appropriate and reliable fiber optic access Google.ca
Noise Transportation noise mitigation will be required for noise sensitive uses (e.g. hotels) Some Industrial facilities could be within the minimum separation distance of existing homes so non-noise generating uses will be needed which means that heavy Industrial facilities would not be currently feasible.

Urban Design Guidelines High Quality Urban Design Compatibility Between Land Uses UDG will be used Connected by Town staff to Network evaluate of Streets, Trails development & Open Spaces applications Google.ca

Preferred Option Considerations Option 1 Option 2 Transportation Direct north/south collector The north/south collector road connection to Mount road connects to Woodbine. Albert Rd relieves pressure Second north-south on Woodbine/Mount Albert collector road east of 404 intersection but may have not needed. grading /access issues Both options require 404 flyover. Land Use Mixed business Mixed business employment employment uses focussed uses located on both Green on Green Lane. Lane and Woodbine Ave Has slightly more Prestige Employment and less General Employment lands Economic More inquiries being made Fewer roads allow for larger Development about General development blocks which Employment lands increases flexibility in the Google.ca marketplace
Preferred Option Considerations Option 1 Option 2 Natural Heritage Fewer crossings of NHS which System reduces impacts Water Servicing Provides a better Fewer public roads so less watermain grid with more costly to construct and redundancies maintain Wastewater Servicing Both options require interim pumping station at Mount Albert Rd and Woodbine Ave Stormwater Less public roads so less infrastructure required Google.ca
Phasing Phase 1 Lands located west of Highway 404 – closest location for extending sanitary sewers and watermains. Phase 2 East of Highway 404 from Herald Road to approximately halfway between Herald Road and Mount Albert Road Phase 3 Lands north of Phase 2 - an interim pumping station and forcemain must be constructed. Google.ca
Next Steps Phase 2 An on-line presentation has been posted to replace the cancelled public meeting and the public is being invited to make submissions or ask questions Responding to comments on Phase 2 reports from staff and Technical Advisory Committee Google.ca
