The primary purpose of the Environmental Study Deport vas to examine all the at-grade road~,~~ay crossings of the Stamford Subdivision rail line and to investigate possible solutions to address the problems raised, ~i1w-2flo7-'9 ~1 The Municipal Glass EA process requires Project Stakeholder {general public, property owners, community representatives, interest groups, and review agencies) consultation to provide input and feedback on the development and analysis of potential alternative solutions. public Information Centres were held on June ~ 6th, and December ~ ~`h, X00;3 at which time the project team presented information and findings to date, and received valuable input and feedback from those who attended. In addition, the project team conducted two focus group meetings with representative of Emergency Services to solicit and receive input and feedback. This vvas deemed particularly important; as impacts to ~ :, . t . e ~~, ~ ~ s{~: ~;U03";~L111g T®gSt~2B3' #O ,~G'1"V~ ®llt" ~'Olytl3ilt~2Z~ Community Services Department Municipal Works November 26, ?007 -2- 4ItiU-?007-131 Emergency services access and response times is a key consideration in evaluating alternative solutions. Through consultation and investigation, it was determined that the proposed solution should include the implementation of at least one or more grade separations {roadyvay overpass or underpass) at existing at-grade railway crossings within the City. Seven alternative roadway crossings were short-listed and analyzed to determining the preferred alternative(s). The ranking process involved the recommended advancement of two preferred alternatives, that being the implementation of a grade separation (overpass structure) at the existing Morrison Street and Portage Road railway crossings, This would provide Moth an east-west and north-south traffic movement and emergency services access corridor over the Stamford Subdivision rail line, The preferred solutions were presented at the second Public Information Centre for review, comment and feedback. flf the two preferred alternatives, the Morrison Street Grade Separation is deemed to provide the greatest overall benefit in terms of overall transportation network efficiency and emergency ser~iices response time improvements. It is therefore recommended that the Morrison Street overpass be implemented first, the schedule subject to budgetary considerations. The schedule to bring the project to the point yvhere a final report could be presented has been extended somewhat due to staffing and workload issues from both the Consultant's and City's side. Matrix Innovations was disbanded for a period of tune, but has recently been acquired and merged with Dillon Consulting Limited, well positioning them to successfully complete this assignment, Staff is seeking authorization from City Council to file the Environmental Study Report and advertise the i~lotice of Study completion which will initiate a thirty (3g) day final revie~,+i period. Should there be no appeals to the ~ilinistry of Environment, staff can proceed to the detailed design stage ~,vhich v+~ill in~rolve further consultation and approvals from the various revie+~v agencies as ~,vell as discussions ~vit}~ impacted property o~,yners, A copy of the Executive Summary from the Environmentel Study Report is attached, and e copy of the full Erniironmental Study Report document can be made available upon request. Tl~e estimated cast of the preferred design (Ulorrison Street Overpass) is $~ 1,gg0,~)0 +,vhich uvill be financed from Development Charges end from Debentures Linder Account #~ 2-3-310g38-03000. It is .anticipated that detailed design of the preferred alternative ~,vill be undertaken in 2008, ~,vit)~ construction taking place in 2000 or later, subject to budgetar~~ considerations, ~ ~ , '~,.

BACKGROUND: The BGCN had requested Council, in February 2005, to provide financial support for a new Centre. The BGCN had estimated this facility would cost $10 million and the financial support requested of the City was $5 million or 50% of the estimated capita{ project costs. Council directed Staff to prepare a report. City Staff had recommended to BGCN that in order to provide a report to Council, the financial request necessitated a fundamental and purposeful review of the project to assess the project viability and due diligence. BGCN and the City agreed to the creation, in August 2006, of the New Facility Project Review Committee to complete a comprehensive review of the proposed new cenfire and undertake a feasibility study. The role of the committee was to assist the consultants in completing the review and to serve as a liaison between the consultants and stakeholders which included, but were not limited to, the BGCN and the City of Niagara Falls. The City cammi#ted and dedicafied the funds to hire consultants to complete the feasibility study. A Request for Proposal was issued by the City on October 2, 2006, and closed on October 23, 2006. Interviews were also conducted by the Committee as a component of the evafuation process in selecting the consulting firm for the project. The purpose of the feasibility study was to compiete a comprehensive and integrated review of the proposal for a new facility with analysis of: i) Needs and community demands analysis; ii) Market feasibility study; iii) Financial analysis and facility operating costs {short and long term); iv) Site review and assessments. The Consultants will present the fine! report and their recommendations to Council on May 2$, 2007. The Consultants, a consulting team, is comprised of the following firms: Monteith Brown Planning Consutants Ltd, Tucker-Reid & Associates, The JF Group, and MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects.

BACKGROUND: On May 28, 2007, the recommendations were outlined in Report 2007-15 based on the Feasibility Study: Proposed New Boys & Girls Club and approved by Council. The site analysis outlined that the site at McLeod Road not be supported. Further review was identified as needed to determine which of the three City parks sites (Ker, Palmer and A.G. Bridge) evaluated would be selected as the location for the new facility. The Boys & Girls Club of Niagara provided confirmation in their July 11, 2007 that the organization supports A.G, Bridge Park as the park site for the new facility. A summary of the discussion from the October 2007 community information meeting will be outlined in the next update report to Council on the project, expected in November 2007.

E~ECDTIVE SDM~r'IARY: In 2005, a request was received that initiated a speed study investigation on Woodbine Street. The results of the speed review indicated that the 85t" percentile speeds along Woodbine Street were recorded as 59km/h. This recorded speed fell within the threshold that qualified for an Environmental Assessment (EA) review for traffic calming devices. A Staff report was prepared for the consideration of Community Services Committee (Report MW-2005-J1 attached) and was subsequently ratified by Council at their meeting July 25, 2005 (minutes attached). Following this approval, the project was scheduled for an Environmental Assessment review in 2006. A qualified traffic consultant (Matrix) was selected to commence with the "'EA" and a traffic calming plan was developed 9n consuitatior~ with the la~biic. Four (4) speed humps were constructed in Autumn 2006 in conjunction with the city asphalt overlay program, and the project was completed in July 2007 with the construction of the remaining traffic calming devices Follow up studies for the review of traffic calming devices are typically carried out after a six (6) month period following the construction of the devices. However, due to public concern, studies were carried out in August 2007 (out of phase) to assess the effectiveness of the traffic calming devices and again in October 2007(out of phase). The reason for a six (6) month waiting period is to allow drivers to adjust their driving habits to the new road configuration. "Traffic Calming Devices alter driver behaviour over the long term." ~ art,: ~::;;~ ~ - Community Services Departmer2 Transportation Services -2- FACTS about the Woodbine Street Traffic Calming Installation The following information identifies the impacts that the traffic calming devices have had on Woodbine Street, as compared to the pre-traffic calming installation. The comparison of study results completed in 2005 and 2007 indicate the following: Fact 1 - 8.5th Percentile Soeed • Speed has decreased between 5 km/h and 9 km/h along Woodbine Street Fact 2 - Speed Limit Compliance • Speed limit compliance has increased, more drivers now adhere to the speed limit Fact 3 - Hia_ hest Speeds • The number of motorists travelling in excess of 75 km/h has decreased by 89% Fact 4 -Lowest Speeds • The number of motorists travelling at or below 30 km/h has increased by 106% Fact 5 -Traffic Volume • There has been a 16.6% decrease in 24-hour traffic volume between Baldwin Avenue and Belfast Avenue Fact 6 - Stoo Sian Compliance (Woodbine Street at Paddock Trail Drivel • Non-stops increased by 250% • Voluntary full stops decreased by 20% (Comparison carried out for data collected in 2006 and 2007) Additional Information Obtained: Fact 7 - Neiahbourhood Survev Questionnaire Results • 12 of 102 questionnaires returned (12%) • Debatable issues generally foster a higher response rate Fact 8 -Fire Services / Transit Services Comments • Concerns regarding transit passenger jostling over vertical deflections • Horizontal deflections preferred • Concerns regarding increased emergency response times need to balance with driver safety concerns -3- BACKGROUND: The following provides additional information for each of the aforementioned subheadings. 85t" Percentile Saeed The results of the speed studies are summarized below by location.

A similar exercise was carried out to determine the percentage of motorists travelling 40 km/h and below. Before traffic calming, this figure was 12.8%; now 30.6% are now proceeding through Woodbine Street at 40 km/h or less. The data identifies that there has been a significant shift in the majority of motorist habits on Woodbine Street. To complement the previously mentioned studies, speed data was also acquired manually through a handheld device, revealing the following results: Woodbine Street betv`reen:' „.. „, ,^Ntaniaal Speed Resufits ~ October 2EtOZ"; _ _ 1 Baldwin Avenue and Lee Avenue Baldwin Avenue and Belfast Avenue East of Paddock Trail Drive Paddock Trail Drive and Kalar Road 85~' Number of Number Highest .... ,Lowest .

This is a decrease of 5 - 9 km/h from the "before" results. From these figures, it is evident that the traffic calming devices have been successful in reducing the overall speed profile on Woodbine Street to a tolerable threshold given that the legal speed limit on Woodbine Street is 50 km/h. Refer to Appendices A for a graph illustrating the breakdown in operating speed amongst the studied locations. Appendix B compares the before and after speed profiles on Woodbine Street between Baldwin Avenue and Belfast Avenue. Sneed Limit Compliance The speed limit compliance rate was also assessed to determine the effectiveness of the traffic calming project. The initial studies in June 2005 identified that 51 % of all drivers obeyed the 50-km/h speed limit. The October 2007 data identified that the average compliance rate has been increased to 78%. In other words, four out of every five motorists are travelling at the speed limit or lower. ~tloodt}ine street :between: Baldwin Avenue and Lee Avenue Baldwin Avenue and Belfast Avenue West of Belfast Avenue West of Paddock Trail Drive East of Kalar Road JurEe August Ocfober I 2005..

Highest Saeeds In 2005, 58 motorists of 6,554 motorists (0.88%) over athree-day period were recorded travelling above 75 km/h. This accounts for an average of 19 occurrences per day. In October 2007, a total of 12 motorists of 15,474 (0.08%) were recorded over aseven- day period where a driver exceeded 75 km/h. This accounts for an average of 2 occurrences per day. Lowest Saeeds In 2005, 3.10% of all motorists were recorded travelling 30 km/h or below, or about 68 vehicles daily. In October 2007, this figure more than doubled to 6.40% and 142 vehicles daily. Traffic Volumes Another benefit that traffic calming provides is that there may be a decrease in traffic as motorists tend to avoid using roads where traffic calming has been implemented as shortcut routes. The 2005 average daily volume was recorded to be 2412 vehicles -5- between Baldwin Avenue and Belfast Avenue. Comparing that figure to the same days of the week in October 2007 identified that the volumes has decreased by 16.6%, to slightly more than 2000 vehicles per day. This is illustrated in Appendix D. Woodbine Street still maintains a collector road status, thus the traffic calming plan was designed to accommodate transit vehicles, school buses, and emergency vehicles. This type of road filters motorists from the major roads (Montrose Road and Kalar Road) and distributes them to local roads within the subdivision, and vice versa. Stop Sian Comaliance Studv A compliance study of the existing all-way at Woodbine Street and Paddock Trail Drive was completed and compared with previous results. In April 2006, 67% of drivers observed practically stopped (i.e., rolling stop), while 6% did not complete a full legal stop at the intersection. A follow up study in November 2007 identifies that 21 % of drivers at the intersection did not stop while another 61 % practically stopped. Only 8% of drivers stopped voluntarily. Appendix E provides comparison graphs. Compliance results obtained at this intersection are reflective of results obtained at other all-way stop locations throughout the city. In general the respect for the control devices is diminishing, and have not proven to be effective in reducing speeds on the mid-block. Thus, enforcement is expected to target not only speeding but also stop sign compliance. Two new all-way stop locations on Woodbine Street have been approved for installation. As typical with other intersections with a volume imbalance that have been converted to all-way stops as a sole means of controlling speeds, the trend of high noncompliance normally becomes evident following a brief introductory period. Drivers become frustrated with encountering too many stop signs with infrequent conflicting traffic to yield to and normally decide not to complete full stops and potentially increase speeds between the signs to compensate for perceived lost time. This creates an even more dangerous situation for motorists and pedestrians who legitimately obey the traffic laws and expect other drivers to do the same. Excerpts from two respected Canadian sources are provided with respect to stop controls: "The purpose of the STOP sign is to clearly assign right-of-way between vehicles approaching an intersection from different directions when traffic signals are not warranted or not yet installed and it has been determined that a YIELD sign is inadequate" Ontario Traffic Manual, March 2000, Book 5 pg. 17 But stop signs are wrongly used to slow traffic in many Canadian cities. Rolling "stops" have become common practice for many drivers in these cities. Worse, many drive right through without heeding the signs at all ... Safety experts and educators fear so much harm has been done, that respect for the stop sign as a traffic control device is disappearing" Canada Safety Council, Traffic Calming Versus Safety, January Zoos -6- Questionnaire Results A questionnaire was prepared and distributed in September 2007 to each property owner that has a frontage on Woodbine Street to solicit their opinion of the effectiveness of the traffic calming devices on motorists' speeds. A total of 102 questionnaires were delivered, of which twelve (12) responses were received, representing a 12% response rate. The majority of respondents identified that they perceive the devices have not been effective in reducing the speed on Woodbine Street. Of the 12 responses, two identified that the traffic calming devices were unwarranted as a problem did not exist, and the remaining 10 noted that additional traffic calming devices, and/or enforcement is still needed. Also, the majority of respondents resided next to or verv close to one of the devices where the traffic speeds would generally be lower as drivers pass beside or over them. Numerous options are provided to homeowners for responding to questionnaires (by phone, return mail, a-mail, facsimile, City web page) and all personal information remains confidential. The low response rate does not indicate a neighbourhood consensus. Typically a return rate in the range of 30 - 50% can be expected for issues where there is significant interest and a strong neighbourhood agreement to a controversial issue. Fire Services & Transit Services Comments Transit Services officials were solicited for comment on the Woodbine Street traffic calming plan with respect to the impact on their services. Transit officials expressed concerns for the safety of their occupants who stand when drivers traverse a device. Additionally, it was identified that there has been an Increase in vehicle maintenance due to the side of tires rubbing against curb extensions and damage to side mirrors when buses approach a truck travelling in the opposite direction. Fire Services provided the following comments. As our city grows and the number of vehicles travelling its roadways multiplies, there is an increased onus on the municipality to impose roadway and intersection controls. These efforts are employed to ensure vehicular and pedestrian safety on roadways but the degree to which they are used must be balanced against maintaining traffic flow for emergency responses. Fire, police and EMS vehicles rely on minimized response times in order to provide timely intervention, often in life threatening situations. Fire apparatus routinely respond from fire stations and encounter main arterial intersection controls, due to increased activity within the city. Traffic calming measures are becoming more prevalent as development continues. The Fire Department has routinely voiced objections to traffic calming measures and unwarranted stop signs because they are viewed as obstacles to efficient emergency response times. Most of the routes that are considered candidates for traffic calming are secondary routes that expedite vehicular travel throughout the City. These same routes are relied upon for emergency vehicles to access emergency scenes, thus creating the dilemma. The Highway Traffic Act allows operators of emergency vehicles to exceed the speed limit while responding to an emergency but they cannot proceed through a red light intersection or stop street until they have ensured it is safe to do so. A municipal fire -~- department is required to follow standards of response that dictate, among other criteria, acceptable response times. As response times increase, the need for additional resources or new fire stations becomes one step closer to being required. If emergency vehicles are slowed by additional stop signs and speed humps, wear and tear increases and response times go up. Decisions to install traffic calming measures and unwarranted stop signs need to take these things into consideration when debating the merits of their use. Project Cost The overall cost for the Woodbine Street project is approximately $170,000. Consulting service fees was $17,000 and the estimated cost to construct the traffic calming plan was $153,000. Beaverdams Road "Before/After Traffic Calming" Comparison A comparison was carried out to the traffic calming plan that was completed for Beaverdams Road. A series of "before" speed studies identified that the 85th percentile speed in various segments was between 61 km/h and 72 km/h. The speed limit on Beaverdams Road is 50 km/h. The average compliance rate was 13%. Upon the construction of the approved traffic calming plan, the operating speeds reduced by an average of 8 km/h. The compliance rate has been improved to 41 %. Staff will continue evaluations in 2008 to determine how the speeds can be further reduced. Summary The intent of traffic calming is to "calm" traffic as drivers proceed along the selected street. There are a variety of traffic calming devices, however, "speed humps are becoming the preferred traffic calming slowing device in many jurisdictions because they are inexpensive to install and very effective ... "Transportation Planning Handbook, 2nd Edition pg. 663 "... whereas the speeds on the streets that have traffic calming devices are much more constant and are only slightly higher than the posted speed limit" All-Way Stops versus Speed Humps: Which is more effective at slowing traffic speeds? David E. Clark, P.E., Abstract The results from our before and after study are consistent with the expected outcomes based on traffic engineering experience. "A factor in overall speed reduction is how closely or far apart the devices are placed. As is probably obvious, the closer together, the greater the overall speed reduction: and the further apart, less overall speed reduction will take place." Transportation Planning Handbook, 2~ Edition pg. 663. The spacing between the traffic calming devices on Woodbine Street is on average 80 metres for a targeted speed of 50 km/h. A lower target speed would require devices to be spaced closer together. Speeding was the issue that precipitated the traffic calming project; the devices have reduced the operating speed as intended. It should be noted that the 20-km/h tab posted underneath the speed hump signs is an advisory speed over the speed hump and not the legal speed limit for the street. It is intended to give motorists an indication that it is the most comfortable speed traversing the humps to avoid incurring _g_ unnecessary vehicle maintenance costs. Based on the studies carried out to date, there is sufficient evidence to indicate that the traffic calming devices on Woodbine Street are effective in achieving the desired goal to reduce motorists speed to within an acceptable threshold, Traffic calming cannot eliminate ail instances of poor driving habits. There remain a small proportion of drivers that Uvill choose to drive at unacceptable speeds without regard to the surrounding neighbourhood, In these instances, neighbourhood residents need to be proactive and record details ofi these events, and forward the information onto the police service for follow-up. Conclusion Although the studies do indicate a reduction in speed on Woodbine Street, it is still desirable to carry out further assessments at least six (8) months following construction. At that time, traffic patterns are expected to be consistent and the maximum benefit realized, Therefore, in early spring additional studies will be scheduled and the results reported back to the Committee. The installation of too manv traffic devices (ie. new proposed stop signs) may have a negative impact on the surrounding local streets, Driver expectations ofi Woodbine Street, is that, it is a collector road, designed to distribute traffic to the adjacent arterial roads (ie. Kaiar Road), from the local connecting road system.. Ifi it becomes too cumbersome for drivers to use Woodbine Street to access the local road system, they yvill choose the path of least resistance and start to infiiltrate the local streets, When looking at solutions to traffic problems, one must consider solutions that are reasonable and acceptable to the driving public, It is a balance b~e#ween safiety and driver exoectati~ons. 1=urther installation of new devices may negatively impact local road system and may be deemed by area drivers to be unreasonable, The study results show that traffic is driving at speeds consistent with the road classification, lower than before the installation of traffic calming devices and that, the traffic calming devices are having a positive impact on driver behaviour. Therefore, Staff is suggesting that the installation of the proposed new stop signs at Woodbine Street and Baldwin Avenue, and at Woodbine Street and Belfast Avenue, be delayed until the final assessment ofi the traffic calming devices has been completed, recommended by: Kar!

BACKGROUND: Staff has been requested to investigate Woodbine Street between K.alar Road and Mo~ttrose Road to determine whether motorists traveling vn Woodbine Street are traveling at speeds in excess of the legal speed limit. Police enforcement of the roadway has also been requested previously. The study section of Woodbine Street extends in the easdwest directions between Kalar Road and Montrose Road. Woodbine Street is a collector roadway and is residential in nature. Woodbine Street consists of one sidewalk only, which is located on the south side of the roadway. The width of Woodbine Street is 8 metres throughout its length between Kalar Road and Montrose Road. The alignment of the roadway is straight and the vertical alignment is level, hence there are no visibility obstructions on the roadway. The legal speed limit of the roadway is 50 km/hr. Li addition, staff observed an all-way stop control to be present at the intersection of Woodbine Street and Paddock Trait Drive which allocates the right-of--way to motorists utilizing this intersection. In order to determine whether there is a speeding problem on this section of roadway staff has conducted a speed study using an Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) which was installed on Woodbine Street between Belfast Avenue and Baldwin Avenue, midway between Katar Road H'orking Together to Serve Our Community Municipei Works • Fire Services • Parks, Recreation & Culture • easiness Development • Building & By-Law Services July 25, 2005 -3- MW-2005-51 and Montrose Road. Through. the ATR staff recorded the total number of vehicles traveling this portion of roadway, as well as the speed of each vehicle. The ATR study was conducted for a period of three days commencing Tuesday, June 7, 2045 until Friday, Tune l0, 2005. The data collected from the study reveals that a total of 6,554 vehicles was recorded to travel on Woodbine Street. Of these 6,554 vehicles, 3,487 were counted traveling in the eastbound direction, and 3,067 were counted traveling in the westbound direction. The data collected also reveals that the 85~' percentile speed, or the speed which the majority of motorists travel at or below, is slightly over 59 km/hr. A review of collision files for the previous three-year period reveals that a collision problem on the study section of Woodbine Street does not exist. Several collisions have been reported throughout the study section of Woodbine Street. One collision per mid-block occurred on Woodbine Street between Kolar Road and Montrose Road, with the exception of Woodbine Street between Baldwin Avenue and Belfast Avenue where no collisions have occurred. Following analysis of the reported collisions, none of the collisions can be attributed to speeding motorists. Typically a speeding problem is evident when the majority of motorists travel at speeds 10 km/h over the legal speed limit. As the 85~' percentile speed of traveling motorists is slightly over S9 kmlh, a speeding problem on Woodbine Street is evident. Motorist speeds maybe attributed to several factors which include: 1. convenience of utilizing Woodbine Street as acut-through route to quickly traverse between arterial roadways, which is evident based on number of vehicles counted during the three-day study; 2. the lack of vehicles parking on-street, as parking typically aids in reducing speeds on roadways; 3. lack of curves or hills in the roadway providing motorists with greater stopping sight distance, and; 4. excellent lateral clearance is available due to wide boulevards Based on the results obtained it is recommended that staff proceed with an environmental assessment for traffic calming devices on Woodbine Street in 2006. Traffic calming measures potentially reduce the speed of vehicles traveling through the area through the installation of physical devices. In the meantime, information regarding the speed of vehicles will be forwarded to the Niagara Regional Police far their evaluation, and to request enforcement.
