d. Construction of the MR 15 widening. e. Construction of the MR 35 widening. f. Construction of the LaSalle Boulevard widening. g. Construction of the Kingsway widenings. h. Construction of MR 80 widening. i. Conversion of the existing left turn through lanes on Paris Street and Long Lake Road to left turn lanes and the construction of additional through lanes on Paris Street and Long Lake Road at the Four Corners. j. Construction of a northbound right turn channelization at the Paris Street/Ramsey Lake Road intersection. k. Construction of dual eastbound, westbound and southbound left turn lanes and additional northbound and southbound through lanes at the LaSalle Boulevard/Notre Dame Avenue intersection. l. Construction of one additional westbound and one additional northbound left turn lanes at the LaSalle Boulevard/Barrydowne Road intersection as well as one additional northbound through lane. m. Construction of southbound left turn lane improvements and a right turn lane at the LaSalle Boulevard/Falconbridge Highway intersection. 6. Continue to monitor traffic growth and service levels along MR 80. A future Class EA study of the widening of MR 80 should consider the Barrydowne Road extension and the potential by-pass of the McCrea Heights area as viable alternatives. At the time of this future study, updated growth forecasts should be prepared for Valley East, based on observed growth trends and known development activity or planning applications in the area. The Class EA study should reconfirm the need and justification for the improvements and include a detailed evaluation of social, cultural, and environmental impacts, which was beyond the scope of this Transportation Study, to confirm the recommended planning alternative. Greater Sudbury should ensure that any planning applications received in this area do not preclude the option of the Barrydowne Road extension, until such time as a future Class EA and route planning study can be completed. 7. Initiate the remaining road improvements identified in Chapter 11 after the above shortterm improvements have been implemented. 8. Undertake detailed feasibility / operational studies for the following localized improvements that may be required to address area growth or other localized operational deficiencies: CITY OF GREATER SUDBURY OFFICIAL PLAN BACKGROUND REPORT September 2005 Page 111
a. The Hawthorne Drive Connection between Notre Dame Avenue and Barrydowne Road and the Montrose Avenue Extension southerly to the Hawthorne Drive Connection. b. Operational improvements and the westerly extension of Ste. Anne Road under the railway tracks to Pine Street/College Street. c. The extension of Treeview Gateway Drive from Long Lake Road to Regent Street. 9. Recognize and protect for the following long-term road improvement needs that may be required beyond the planning horizon. a. The widening of Falconbridge Highway from Garson-Coniston Road to Radar Road. b. The construction of the Northeast Bypass from Maley Drive to Highway 17. c. The extension of LaSalle Boulevard easterly to the future Northeast Bypass. d. The widening of MR 55 from Highway 17 to Big Nickel Mine Drive. e. Improvement of the Frood Road/Regent Street corridor to create an alternative northsouth arterial route. 10. Communicate with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation the following: a. The need to widen the Southwest Bypass (Provincial facility) to 4 lanes. b. The importance of four-laning Highway 69 from Sudbury southerly to Parry Sound which will promote Greater Sudbury’s economic growth. c. The need to widen sections of Highway 17 east of the Southeast bypass, and Highway 144 west of Chelmsford in the long-term (beyond the planning horizon). d. The need for a Northeast Bypass from Maley Drive to Highway 17 in the long-term (beyond the planning horizon). Funding 11. Seek funding support from the Federal and Provincial Governments for the transportation system through grants and/or additional revenue streams such as a portion of the gasoline tax. 12. Negotiate cost sharing agreements with major industries when these industries will benefit from the transportation improvement being proposed. 13. Explore means to generate new sources of revenues such as applying selective charges (area specific development charges) to new developments in areas where growth is not desirable and expensive to serve. 14. Seek ways to reduce costs for both capital and operating activities through operational efficiencies, technology application, and innovation.
