Director of Transportation Services Subject: QEW Widening Highway 406 to the Garden City Skyway r The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) is in the process of completing the expansion to the last remaining section of the QEW between Toronto and Niagara Falls to asix-lane cross-section. The project is located 1.1 km west of Seventh Street to the Garden City Skyway, in the City of St. Catharines, Regional Municipality of Niagara. The purpose of the proj ect is to provide improvements to this section of the QEW by widening from four to six lanes, constructing a median tall wall barrier and new storm drainage system, reconstructing / re-configuring interchange ramps,. rehabilitating, widening or replacement of structures, and providing full illumination to address safety, operational and capacity concerns. The work is scheduled to be completed in 5 stages starting in the summer of 2007 and completion by summer 2011. Traffic impacts on the QEW will be minimized during construction through the implementation of the following measures: • during construction all 4 lanes of traffic on the QEW will remain open except during specified night-time hours when 1 lane in each direction may be closed during the demolition of the Lake Street and Martindale Road bridges, a lane reduction to lane in each direction and local detours will be permitted for up to 12 hours maximum • throughout the construction period, an alternate route will be signed to allow QEW traffic to bypass St. Catharines. The alternate route is Hwy 406 to Hwy 58, and rejoin the QEW at Thorold Stone Road. The route will be signed in both directions. (Detour route is attached) A web site has been established to provide an overview of the project and construction information at www.gewstcathanes.com /~~o S:ITPSITPS 1.00 Administration1TP51.06 Reports12007 Council107 July 231Council Memorandum QEW widening.wpd X060830 v1 ~; ~ •~ 6E . `: `'.

The purpose of the study is to consider all options to add capacity to the transportation corridor that links Niagara to the GTA. In support of this study, the Ministry will be asking motorists crossing the four international bridges in Niagara to participate voluntarily in an Origin-Destination (0-D} Travel Survey. The Niagara Frontier international Bridge Crossing Survey will be conducted over 8 separate days between July 10 and July 22, 2007. The purpose of the survey is to provide current international travel patterns and characteristics in the corridor. The last Origin-Destination Survey of auto drivers crossing the Niagara international bridges was conducted in Summer 2400. Drivers will be directed by a traffic control crew to a designated location away from the main bridge traffic flow to ensure that the interviews are conducted safely. The interviews will collect information such as trip origin, destination, purpose, duration, and frequency. All survey information collected is confidential and no personal information or license plate numbers will be collected. There will be noway of linking interviews to specific persons or vehicles. A copy of the survey questionnaire and 0-D Survey Fact Sheet are attached. If you have any questions about the Niagara Frontier International Bridge Crossing Survey, please contact John Slobodzian, Project Coordinator at (905} 704-2204.

Building on the success of the last 13 years, Rotary and TV COGECa are now teaming up with The Review to expand our annual fundraising event to include anon-line auction. Some items will be auctioned live on TV COGECO, while others will be auctioned via the Internet. All items donated to the auction will be advertised in a special supplement in The Review. We know that the new addition of an on-line auction will. give added advertising benefit to all businesses that participate, by promoting all items over several days in The Review, as well as promoting the businesses and items on-line. This is a wonderful opportunity for all community-minded businesses to get a double bang for their advertising. dollars....they promote their business or service and support the worthwhile causes supported by Rotary. A Rotarian will be contacting you shortly to explain the new format and to discuss the opportunities available for you to participate. ~1,2~ ! 1 COGECO Sincerely Yours, ~'~. o ~~ , ~ ~ Y ~,rt: ~ W L ~ ~, ~~~ •~i~ ~x ~' ~~~OR{ ~ ~~~.
