Study Goal The objective of this study was to define a Recommended Plan to: • Meet the County’s long term transportation needs as identified in the

County’s Transportation Master Plan, Airport Master Plan, the Fraserville Secondary Plan, and associated planning/EA studies (i.e. County Road 28 (Fraserville));

• Facilitate future development adjacent to the roadway (define right-of-way protection and road profile) and within the airport; and

• Receive environmental clearance for the proposed roadway network within the Study Area.

Background The County of Peterborough has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and Transportation Study for the County Transportation Network in the general area of the Peterborough Airport. Airport Road (County Road 11) has been closed in the vicinity of the airport in order to facilitate expansion of the airport infrastructure (runway extension). A detailed transportation study will be completed to integrate the County’s future transportation requirements with the Airport Master Plan, proposed improvements to County Road 28 as a result of the Fraserville Secondary Plan, and the Township of Cavan Monaghan Official Plan Amendment 3 (i.e. Airport EA impact on delineation of Special Study Areas). This study will be completed as a Schedule “C” project under the Municipal Class EA. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared that will identify all environmental impacts and mitigation associated with the Recommended Plan. The Class EA will take into consideration any concurrent transportation or planning studies underway with local Townships, the City or MTO, and development and infrastructure projects that could influence the direction and/or conclusions of the Study.

5

Problem or Opportunity Statement

The problem, which was defined with community participation, is to provide an efficient and effective transportation plan to meet current and forecasted travel demand. This plan will consider the requirements of all modes of transportation (pedestrian, bicyclists, transit, goods movement and vehicular traffic) and will have a goal of providing the safest facility considering the value of all competing interests. This study will define an improvement plan and receive environmental clearance for the facility that matches the land use plan. The roadway design will be selected using a proactive community involvement program and a traceable evaluation technique to provide a defensible case for the Recommended Plan. The Recommended Plan will provide the County with: • An approved plan that can be constructed in stages if required; • A defined cost which will allow the County to budget staging of

future road improvements; • Harmonize the transportation plan with the Peterborough Airport

Master Plan; and • A sustainable plan that can allow economic development of the

Airport and surrounding community.

6

Key Issues The following is a preliminary list of study area issues for the Airport Road (County Road 11) project limits: Transportation • MTO long range plans for interchanges at County Roads 28 and 11; • Extension of runway 09-27 creates limited opportunities for Airport Road to be

realigned easterly given the constraint of the Otonabee River and wetland; • Runway vertical and horizontal clearance restrictions (beyond the runway) that

may affect lighting and roadway alignments; • Transport Canada guidelines for airport expansion; • MTO access guidelines (controls intersections adjacent to interchanges); • Population and employment within the “service cell” (study area) and whether

this size of geographic area “warrants” an upper tier arterial roadway(i.e. County Road);

• Traffic generation associated with the Fraserville development and airport lands (i.e. demand on the County road network); and

• Context-sensitive roadway design considerations to relate to the land uses that the County Road will serve.

• Needs of all road users (pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles)

Environmental • Habitat assessment as to the potential for aquatic Species at Risk (SAR) within

the Study Area; • Navigability of both Cavan Creek and the Otonabee River; • The sensitivity of Cavan Creek will be considered by any roadway alternatives;

and • Sensitivity of the Provincially Significant Peterborough Airport Wetland Complex

or the Locally Significant Otonabee River Floodplain Swamp Complex.

7

Aims and Objectives of Public Open House No. 2 The goal of this meeting is to present: • Study background and process; • Evaluation of alignment alternatives; • Technically Preferred Alternative (Phase 1); • Long Range Property Protection Plan (Phase 2); • Study Schedule; and • Obtain your comments (Please deposit comment sheets in the box

provided).

8

Environmental Assessment Process This project is being undertaken as a Schedule “C”, Class EA in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study, 2000 (amended 2007), which is available at the Resource Table. A copy of the draft Study Design can be found at the Resource Table. This study will also be harmonized to satisfy the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, if triggered by this project. There is opportunity at any time during the Environmental Assessment process for interested persons to provide comments and review outstanding issues. If after participating in this project, and at the conclusion of the study, you still have serious environmental concerns, you have the right, during a 30-day review period, to request the Minister of the Environment to reclassify the project as a Part II order (or bump-up) to an Individual Environmental Assessment.
