1.5. Scope of Work The scope of work has included tasks and activities, which have led to: The recommendation of physical improvements (new roads, widenings, operational upgrades) to the road network. The Prioritization of the recommended physical improvements in terms of short-term (less than 5 years), mid-term (5 to 10 years), and long-term (beyond 10 years). The estimated costs of the recommended physical improvements and identification of potential sources of funding. As a key component of the Official Plan, a roadway hierarchy and classification system has been developed to help define the role and function of the roads within the existing network, and guide the application of planning, design, and operational policies. A rationale for classifying and re-classifying roads has been developed. This includes the identification of typical cross-sections for each road classification and policies for access control, sidewalk construction, intersection spacing, parking, trucking, and provision of bicycle facilities. While the primary focus of the study is the automobile mode, other modes of transportation such as transit, cycling, and trucking have been reviewed to varying degrees, and appropriate policy recommendations have been formulated. The Study reflects the changing economic, social, and environmental conditions, and addresses emerging issues. Given that the Study has been undertaken at a macro-level, it has not addressed localized or operational issues in great detail. If however, during the course of the study, general conclusions are obvious, recommendations have been made. Much has changed in Greater Sudbury since the development of the existing transportation model in 1992. In order to update the model, new base travel data was collected for the entire Greater Sudbury area through a household survey. Data on trip making characteristics (trip generation), origin-destination (O-D) patterns, trip purpose, travel time, and travel modes were collected to provide a base for the development and calibration of the new transportation model. As indicated earlier, the Study has been conducted in accordance with the Class EA process and the Official Planning process. Accordingly, the public, stakeholders and government agencies have been consulted at key points during completion of the study. 1.6. Consultation Process The Class EA process requires a minimum of three points of contact with the public, stakeholders and government agencies during completion of the Study. The first point of contact is simply a notification of study commencement that introduces the study, supplies contact information and provides the opportunity for the public, stakeholders and government agencies to provide input or ask to be included on a future contact list.
