Stouffville Sun-Tribune n www.yorkregion.com n Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012, 4 The Regional Municipality of York NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION ADDENDUM TO THE CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Improvements to St. John's Sideroad from Bayview Avenue to Woodbine Avenue Town of Aurora and Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville The Regional Municipality of York has completed an addendum to the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for proposed improvements to St. John's Sideroad between Bayview Avenue and Woodbine Avenue in the Town of Aurora and the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. The study has been conducted in accordance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Subject to the comments received as a result of this notice and the receipt of other approvals, the Region intends to proceed with the detailed design and construction of this project. The St. John's Sideroad Class EA Study completed in 1999 recommended a two-lane roadway with a rural cross-section between Bayview Avenue and Woodbine Avenue. Lands between Bayview Avenue and Highway 404 have been approved for residential and commercial developments (as part of the Town of Aurora, 2C Secondary Plan). As a result, there is a need to confirm the recommendations of the 1999 Environmental Study Report (ESR) and update the corridor requirements based on current traffic projections and development plans. The addendum to the Class EA Study has recommended the following improvements for St. John's Sideroad: · A four-lane urban cross-section with on-street bike lanes from Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street; · Sidewalks along both the north and south sides of St. John's Sideroad from Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street with the provision of a multi-use path on the south side, when required; · Full illumination along the Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street corridor, when required; · Maintain a two-lane rural cross-section from Leslie Street to Woodbine Avenue with the provision of a paved shoulder to accommodate cyclists; · Traffic signals and left turn lanes at Woodbine Avenue, when required. This addendum to the Class EA Study describes the problem, the assessment of alternatives and the recommended improvements, as well as the public and agency consultation programs conducted.
