Key Considerations
Environmental
- Built Heritage (two listed Cultural Heritage Landscapes, one potential Cultural Heritage Landscape).
- Contamination (area of high potential contamination).
- Fish and Fish Habitat.
- Groundwater (Wellhead Protection Area, domestic water wells).
- Land Use (Greenbelt, Whitebelt, Protected Countryside, Greenlands, Holland Marsh Specialty Area, Urban Settlement Area).
- Surface Water (drainage, multiple warm water watercourses).
- Terrestrial Ecosystems (Species at Risk, Provincially Significant Wetland, woodlots).
Transportation & Engineering
Engineering
- Traffic weaving analysis between the freeways and adjacent interchanges (Queensville Sideroad).
- Traffic operations based on demand and level of service.
- Complexities in traffic staging and constructability.
- Structural / grading considerations.
Property Impacts
- Lands required may extend beyond the 2002 Approved EA Right-of-Way
