The study area is shown on the key plan. The objectives of the study are to assess and identify rehabilitation, operational and safety improvements throughout the study corridor and develop a plan that includes contract staging and sequencing for future construction projects. The recommended plan includes the following: · Proposed widening of Highway 404 to accommodate an additional High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction. The widening will occur within the existing median between the northbound and southbound lanes. · Proposed interchange improvements at 16th Avenue and at Mulock Drive. · Carpool lot and ramp reconfiguration at Major MacKenzie Drive. · Proposed bridge improvements to accommodate widening. · Additional illumination will be provided as required. · Storm water management and drainage improvements. THE PROCESS This study followed the approved environmental planning process for Group `B' projects under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). The Preliminary Design study has been completed and a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) has been prepared. The TESR documents the details of the recommended plan, the anticipated environmental and property impacts, proposed mitigation measures, and a summary of consultation undertaken throughout the study.

The office is one of nine in the brokerage's operations in the GTA. The CIBC moved last year to its west-end location at 5827 Main St. "We see great growth in Stouffville," Giannoukakis said.
