George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 Executive Summary Content Wastell Homes retained Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited (Paradigm) to conduct this Transportation Impact Study for a proposed residential development located on George in Port Stanley, Ontario This Transportation Impact Study (TIS) includes an analysis of existing traffic conditions, a description of the proposed development, traffic forecasts for a horizon of five years from full build-out (226) and recommendations to improve future traffic conditions. Development Concept A residential development is proposed for the lands across from Boltville Place on George in Port Stanley, Ontario. The 24.3-hectares (6-acre) development includes: 12 Singe Family Dwellings; 25 Medium Density (Apartment and Townhouse) Units; and 5.7 hectare (14 acre) Hospitality Park with 125 Campsites. The development will be constructed in a single phase and is expected to be completed by 221. The development will include two (2) stop-controlled street connections to George ( A and B which aligned with Boltville Place). Conclusions Based on the investigations carried out, it is concluded that: currently, all intersections within the study area operate at acceptable levels of service during the AM and PM peak hours, with no individual problem movements; at full build-out, the development is forecast to generate 294 and 368 new trips during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively; under 226 Background Traffic conditions all intersections within the study area are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service, with no individual problem movements; under 226 Total Traffic conditions, all intersections within the study area are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service, with no individual problem movements; under 226 Summer Total Traffic conditions, all intersections within the study area are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service, with no individual problem movements; and Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page i

George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 no remedial measures warranted to mitigate the proposed traffic increases resulting from the site development. Recommendations Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that the development be approved with no conditions related to off-site improvements. It is further recommended that the Municipality review the intersection operation at George and William and consider a converting the intersection to two-way stop controlled, with right-of-way assigned to George.

George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 2.3 Traffic Operations Intersection level of service (LOS) is a recognized method of quantifying the average delay experienced by drivers at intersections. It is based on the delay experienced by individual vehicles executing the various movements. The delay is related to the number of vehicles desiring to make a particular movement, compared to the estimated capacity for that movement. The capacity is based on a number of criteria related to the opposing traffic flows and intersection geometry. The highest possible rating is LOS A, under which the average total delay is equal or less than 1. seconds per vehicle. When the average delay exceeds 8 seconds for signalized intersections, 5 seconds for unsignalized intersections or when the volume to capacity ratio is greater than 1., the movement is classed as LOS F and remedial measures are usually implemented, if they are feasible. LOS E is usually used as a guideline for the determination of road improvement needs on through lanes, while LOS F may be acceptable for left-turn movements at peak times, depending on delays. The operations of intersections in the study area were evaluated with the existing turning movement volumes using Synchro 9. The current signal timings were provided by the City. The intersection analysis considered two separate measures of performance: LOS for each movement and the entire intersection; the volume to capacity (v/c) ratio for each movement and the entire intersection; and the estimated 95 th percentile queue length for each movement. The intersection of George and William operates as a stopcontrolled intersection with free-flow conditions on the westbound movement. This configuration is not supported by HCM for analysis in Synchro. The intersection was analyzed as a two-way stop controlled intersection and an all-way stop controlled intersection in Synchro. The results were combined to present a more accurate display of the measures of performance for all movements than modelling as a two-way or all-way stop only. The existing intersection operations are summarized in Table 2.1 indicating the existing levels of service (LOS), volume to capacity ratios (V/C) and 95th percentile queues experienced within the study area, for the AM and PM peak hours. Appendix A contains the supporting detailed Synchro 9 reports. The analyses indicate that all movements and intersections within the study area currently operate at acceptable levels of delay and V/C ratios. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 7

George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 3 Development Concept 3.1 Development Description A residential development is proposed for the lands across from Boltville Place on George in Port Stanley, Ontario. The 24.3-hectare (6-acre) development includes: 12 Singe Family Dwellings; 25 Medium Density (Apartment and Townhouse) Units; and 5.7 hectare (14 acre) Hospitality Park with 125 Campsites. The development will be constructed in a single phase and is expected to be completed by 221. The development will include two (2) stop-controlled street connections to George ( A and B which isaligned with Boltville Place). Figure 3.1 illustrates the proposed site plan. 3.2 Development Trip Generation Peak hour trips forecast to be generated by the single family and medium density (apartment and townhouse) components of this development are based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 1 for the following Land Use Code (LUC): LUC 21 (Single-Family Detached Housing): Includes all singlefamily detached homes on individual lots. The Land Use Code (LUC) 21 Single-Family Detached House was used in this study for a conservative estimate for the trip generation. LUC 23 Residential Condominium/Townhouse was not used for the study as it is not a high-density development with access to major transit routes and may result in underestimating the trip generation. The peak hour trips for the hospitality park campsites were determined using trip generation counts from the Lantern Bay Resort 2 as a proxy site. Lantern Bay Resort is located in Gravenhurst, Ontario, consisting of 145 sites with pre-fabricated cottages. The traffic counts were collected over the Canada Day weekend in July 215. The results of the counts determined that the peak hour of traffic arriving at Lantern Bay Resort was from 2: PM to 3: PM on Friday and leaving Lantern Bay Resort from 1: PM to 2: PM on Sunday. 1 Trip Generation Manual, 9 th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers, 212. 2 Lantern Bay Resort, Gravenhurst, Transportation Impact Study, Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited, December 215 Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 9

George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 4 Evaluation of Future Traffic Conditions The assessment of future traffic conditions contained in this section includes estimates of future background and total traffic and analyses for the 226 horizons. The future traffic volumes in the vicinity of the development will likely consist of increased non-site traffic volumes (background traffic), and the traffic forecast to be generated by the proposed development. 4.1 226 Background Traffic Growth The non-site traffic increase represents generalized traffic growth in the Port Stanley area. A growth rate of.4% per year was used for traffic in the study area. Historical Ministry of Transportation 3 AADT volume counts on Highway 4 at Highway 3 (Talbot Line) in Talbotville revealed this rate of change. Figure 4.1 shows the 226 background traffic for the AM and PM peak hours. 4.2 226 Background Traffic Operations Based on the forecast 226 background traffic volumes, operational analyses have been conducted using Synchro 9 to determine the peak hour conditions for the intersections within the study area. No changes to the existing signal timings were made in this analysis. Table 4.1 summarizes the 226 background traffic operations for the AM and PM peak hours.

George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 4.4 226 Summer Total Traffic Operations An influx of summer vacationers causes the traffic volumes in Port Stanley are considerably higher during the summer months. The County identified the need to analyze the traffic conditions for a typical summer day. The September traffic counts were increased using the AADT and Summer Annual Daily Traffic (SADT) counts data. Counts available from MTO for Highway 4 at Highway 3 (Talbot Line) in Talbotville have an SADT increase of 6% traffic volumes compared to the AADT. Counts from the City of St.Thomas on Sunset Drive south of the city. The AADT counts on Sunset Drive during the year were 12, vehicles/day versus 15, vehicles/day during the summer months. The SADT displays a 2% increase in traffic volumes compared to the AADT. Therefore, for a conservative analysis, the base year traffic volumes were increased by 2% before applying the growth rate for the background traffic. Figure 4.3 illustrates the total trips (background + development) forecast for 226 for the AM and PM peak hours. Based on the forecast 226 summer total traffic volumes, operations analyses were conducted using Synchro 9 to determine the peak hour conditions for the intersections within the study area. No changes to the existing signal timings were made. Table 4.3 summarizes the forecast LOS conditions for the AM and PM peak hours. Appendix D contains the supporting detailed Synchro reports. Based on the analyses, it is concluded that the intersections are forecast to operate similar to the background conditions. It is important to note that the severity of traffic congestion is based on the influx of vacationers on any given weekend during the summer. Major delays travelling through the main streets of Port Stanley occur mainly on weekends in July and August, specifically long weekends and represent a small fraction of peak times throughout the year. In addition, the lift bridge operates during the summer season and may exacerbate traffic congestion for short periods (5 minutes) while in operation. It is difficult to determine the number and frequency of boats requiring the operation of the swing bridge. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 2

George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 5 Remedial Measures The analyses indicate with the addition of the site traffic, the study area intersections are forecast to continue to operate at acceptable levels of service. The street connections operate well below maximum acceptable levels of service. George is able to accommodate the increase in traffic without auxiliary turning lanes. Within the study area, signalization and auxiliary turning lanes exist and are operating well in the field, therefore no remedial measures are required to accommodate the site traffic. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 23

George Transportation Impact Study 16191 January 217 6 Conclusions and Recommendations 6.1 Conclusions Based on the investigations carried out, it is concluded that: currently, all intersections within the study area operate at acceptable levels of service during the AM and PM peak hours, with no individual problem movements; at full build-out, the development is forecast to generate 294 and 368 new trips during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively; under 226 Background Traffic conditions all intersections within the study area are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service, with no individual problem movements; under 226 Total Traffic conditions, all intersections within the study area are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service, with no individual problem movements; under 226 Summer Total Traffic conditions, all intersections within the study area are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service, with no individual problem movements; and no remedial measures warranted to mitigate the proposed traffic increases resulting from the site development. 6.2 Recommendations Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that the development be approved with no conditions related to off-site improvements. It is further recommended that the Municipality review the intersection operation at George and William and consider a converting the intersection to two-way stop controlled, with right-of-way assigned to George.
