Table 7.2.1 - Evaluation Factors and Indicators Factor Indicator Potential Impact on Traffic Safety Transportation Total Network Travel Time Level of Service Social/Cultural Environment Potential Impact on the “Existing Character” of a Neighbourhood Potential to Reduce Residential Through Traffic Potential Impact on Terrestrial Ecosystems Natural Environment Potential Impact on Aquatic Ecosystems Potential Impact on Existing Environmentally Sensitive Areas Potential Impact on Air Quality Economic Environment Land Use Planning Construction Cost Ease of Implementation Potential Impact on Community Accessibility Capability to Influence Desirable Development Patterns Potential Impact on Existing Residences, Businesses, Institutions or Community Facilities Estimated Capital Cost 7.3. Comparative Analysis To evaluate network alternatives, a comparative analysis was performed using the existing road network (existing plus committed roads improvements) as the base. The comparative analysis was undertaken using a non-numerical approach. A five point symbolic rating was used to rank the alternatives relative to the factors. A full black circle indicated that the alternative was given a high rating, or was the most favorable option; a circle which was three quarters black indicated a moderately high rating; a circle which was half black indicated a medium rating or neutral condition; a circle which was one quarter black indicated a moderately low rating; and, an open (white) circle indicated a low rating or the least favorable option. The purpose of this comparative analysis was to highlight the major attributes of each alternative in a manner that allowed the alternatives to be readily compared to one another. The analysis also enabled evaluation of the impact of changing the relative importance (weightings) of the various factors. Using the following table as an example (Table 7.3.1), if transportation, economic environment and capital costs are the most important factors, then Alternative #1 is the most favorable. However, if natural environment and land use planning are considered the most important factors, then Alternative #3 is the most favorable.
