Memo undertake other daily trip purposes within the community. 5. Roadway Network to Accommodate Development The available primary roadway grid consisting of the Regional and Provincial facilities is expected to continue to provide capacity and accessibility to serve the travel demands of the projected population. The location of the proposed development areas indicates that most of these grid roads will have to accommodate increased traffic flows. In particular: • Park Road will accommodate increased traffic flows. These increased traffic flows can likely be accommodated by the existing cross-section. In addition, the intersection with Highway 48 appears to have sufficient reserve capacity to satisfactorily meet the increased vehicle demands; • Dalton Road and High Street will also attract increased traffic flows since these are the roads that provide the central access to Highway 48. Consideration will have to be given to intersection treatments including modifications and improvements to provide sufficient vehicle capacities particularly for vehicle turning movements. The intersections that will likely require attention include: • Highway 48 and High Street where signal timing modifications will likely be required; • High Street and Burke Street where consideration must be given to prioritizing north south traffic flows; • Dalton Road and High Street. The configuration of this intersection along with the Baseline Road alignment should be investigated to determine the most optimum configuration to serve the pre-dominant traffic flows. A public school is proposed on Baseline Road which will place increased vehicle demands on the key area regional road intersections; • Black River Road and Dalton Road is expected to accommodate increased traffic flow demands. However it is likely that the existing intersection configuration can satisfactorily accommodate this demand. The increased population will also create additional vehicle demands on the other regional roads providing alternate accessibility to and from the south. These roads include Metro Road North, Baseline Road and Woodbine Avenue. It is likely that these roads have sufficient reserve capacity to satisfactorily accommodate the increased traffic flows. However intersections with Kennedy Road and Woodbine Avenue should be monitored to determine if turning lane additions are necessary along with the introduction of upgraded traffic control devices. It is concluded that the primary roadway focus to accommodate the planned growth in population should be to: • Identify the most optimum roadway / intersection configuration in the Dalton Road / High Street and Baseline Road area; • Initiate intersection improvements and modifications where necessary to accommodate the primary north south traffic flow demand on High Street / Dalton Road between Highway 48 and Black River Road; • Monitor the following regional roads and their intersections to ensure satisfactory operations – Baseline Road, Kennedy Road, Metro Road North and Woodbine Avenue; Traffic studies undertaken when development is contemplated will address the timing and type of improvement and addition necessary to accommodate the traffic flow demands.

Memo 6. Transit GO Transit currently provides a transit service to the Sutton area. The operation is a peak period bus service which provides a direct connection to the East Gwillimbury GO Rail Station and the GO Bus Terminal in the Town of Newmarket. It can be expected that as the population grows that transit will also increase the frequency of service to respond to increases in travel demand.
