Heritage Heights Transportation Master Plan

Secondary Planning ProgramThe City of Brampton has initiated a Secondary Plan work program for Area 52 (Huttonville North) and Area 53 (Mount Pleasant West), collectively referred to as “Heritage Heights”, in accordance with the timeline and polices of ROPA 15, OPA 93-245 and Council direction in December 2009.

The work program includes the following studies:• Subwatershed & Landscape Scale Analysis

o Open House held on October 22, 2013• Servicing and Infrastructure• Employment Implementation• Shale Resources Review Update• Community Visioning

o Preliminary Concept Plan – Endorsed by Council April 2013• Transportation Master Plan (subject of tonight’s Open House)

• Commercial Institutional Study• Cultural Heritage Study• Community Design and Open Space Study

Transportation Study Process This study is being conducted as a Transportation Master Plan in accordance with Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2011).

The study will assess environmental, social, economic and technical criteria and will address the interests of area residents, stakeholders and local businesses in selecting the preferred solution.

Study Area and Purpose

The key objectives of the Transportation Master Plan include: • Identifying opportunities for a transportation corridor crossing of the

Credit River valley, and refining the North-South Corridor Protection Area in northwest Brampton.

• Planning for road and transit projects as part of a preferred transportation network and strategy that are innovative, pedestrian/cycling-friendly, and transit-oriented to support the development of Heritage Heights and the northwest Brampton area as a “complete community.”

The City of Brampton is undertaking a Transportation Master Plan as a supporting study to the Secondary Plan for the Heritage Heights Community (Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53). This study will identify the Transportation needs of the new community and consider options to satisfy future travel demands.

The study area includes the Secondary Plan Areas of Huttonville North (SP 52) and Mount Pleasant West (SP 53). The study area is bounded by Mayfield Road to the north, Mississauga Road to the east, Winston Churchill Boulevard to the west and the Credit River Valley to the south.

Problem and Opportunity StatementThe City of Brampton is forecasted to achieve a population of 837,000 and 292,800 jobs by 2031*.

The City has designated an urban expansion area in North West Brampton to accommodate a portion of future growth. The area known as Heritage Heights (Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53) is planned to accommodate 43,000 residents and 20,000 jobs by 2031.

The Secondary Planning Areas are subject to corridor protection and future environmental assessment (EA) studies for a North-South Transportation Corridor of provincial and municipal planning interest.

The existing transportation system of roads, transit, pedestrian linkages, and pathways will not adequately accommodate the mobility needs of future residents and workers.

The City of Brampton has an opportunity to plan and implement a transportation solution that supports the development of Heritage Heights as a “complete community.”

Study Context – BackgroundCorridor Protection

This is the depiction from the HPBATS Study Report, dated May 2010, and is superseded by the GTA West as developed by MTO in the GTA West EA (see next board).

Subject to Town of Halton Hills - GTA West Transportation Corridor Protection / Halton Hills Employment Lands Phasing Study –Halton Region Draft OPA 43 and Halton Hills Draft OPA 21.

www.haltonhills.ca/initiatives/GTA-West-Corridor.php

Halton Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study (HPBATS)HPBATS identified a future long-term transportation network (2021 and 2031) required to support provincial and inter-municipal planning goals for Halton and Peel Regions, and to satisfy future transportation demand.• July 2010: A Notice of Information was issued advising that HPBATS was adopted

by the Councils of participating municipalities in April and May 2010 as a Transportation Master Plan in accordance with Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process.

• April 2012: A Memorandum of Understanding amongst the municipal partners –Peel Region, Halton Region, Halton Hills, Town of Caledon and City of Brampton –set out a framework for the timely implementation of the HPBATS cross-jurisdictional transportation improvements and acknowledged municipal partners proceeding with planning and transportation studies as input to future EA studies.

• November 2012: GTA West Corridor Environmental Assessment Stage 1 completion and release of the Transportation Development Strategy and Preliminary Route Planning Study Area.

• June 2013: HPBATS Review of Implementation Strategies recommended that environmental assessments for the cross-jurisdictional improvements – Halton Peel Freeway (as superseded by GTA West EA) and East-West Connection – no longer be advanced as municipal studies. See next board

Subject to City of Brampton OP Policy –Interim Control By-law 306-2003 for the protection of North-South Transportation Corridor and Peel Region OPA 26 (ROPA 26).

Heritage Heights study area

Study ContextGTA West Corridor Environmental Assessment• The proposed North South Transportation Corridor largely coincides with the

Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) GTA West study area as subject to Official Plan corridor protection policies of provincial and municipal interest.

• The MTO’s Preliminary Route Planning Study Area includes the Heritage Heights Community.

• The Preliminary Route Planning Study Area provides for the consideration of a range of Credit River crossing locations to serve the north-south transportation needs as well as the potential to serve the east-west transportation needs.

• The final alignment of the GTA West, including the location of the Credit River crossing will be determined by the MTO in the subsequent route planning Environmental Assessment. The findings of Heritage Heights Transportation Master Plan Study will be considered, along with other content and analysis, as input to the MTO’s GTA West EA.

• The MTO has finalized the GTA West Transportation Development Strategy Report (November 16, 2012). The completion of the Transportation Development Strategy represents the conclusion of the first stage of the EA study.

• Stage 2 of the GTA West project is actively underway. Route alternatives will be generated within the Route Planning Study Area.

Credit River Valley Crossing • A crossing opportunity has been identified which allows for

suitable flexibility to reasonably address the transportation corridor, interchange configuration options, and protection for a hydro corridor through future Environmental Assessment processes.

• The crossing opportunity was defined by identifying constraints as they relate to the natural environment, existing socio-economic conditions (i.e. settlement areas) and planned context as the basis of establishing criteria upon which to evaluate concepts for the corridor protection area.

16


Alternative Corridors

East of Heritage Road• This corridor option crosses the Credit River west of

Heritage Road, crosses Heritage Road and generally follows a northerly alignment midblock between Heritage Road and Mississauga Road.

Next StepsThe Heritage Heights Transportation Master Plan is a long range plan which integrates transportation infrastructure requirements in support of growth in Heritage Heights.• Recommendations will provide input and basis of

transportation network, strategies and initiatives in support of Heritage Heights secondary planning and the GTA West Transportation Corridor EA Study process.

• Address Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for the City’s transportation improvement needs as part of the preferred network alternatives and broader planning solution.

The next steps for the study are:• Consider all comments and suggestions received from the

public and agencies following PIC #3• Complete Heritage Heights Phase 1 component transportation

study / finalize the Transportation Master Plan and provide notice of information advising of completion in Fall 2014.
