21 Click Traffic to Considerations edit Master title style Build Toronto commissioned a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) to examine traffic considerations for the Quarry Lands. The traffic study yielded a recommended context for the development of the Build/City Lands, including: Incorporate the extension of Musgrave Street east of Victoria Park Avenue; Facilitate the future extension of Blantyre Avenue north of Gerrard Street East and make provision for signalizing the Gerrard Street East / Blantyre Avenue intersection; Ensure that the Build/City lands portion of the Quarry Lands provides a convenient connection between Gerrard Street East and internal land uses; Ensure that an internal connection between the Build/City lands and the GCD lands is not precluded by the Build Toronto development program; and, Ensure that pedestrian and cycling infrastructure within the Build/City lands maximizes internal circulation and connections between proposed land uses and adjacent public rights of way and neighbourhoods. 21

22 Click Retail to MarketConsiderations edit Master title style Build Toronto commissioned a Retail Market Demand and Impact Analysis to determine if there would be anyimpactsfromretail retail uses on the QuarryLands. The studyyielded yielded a recommended context for the development of the Build/City Lands, including: The site is well located for retail uses. The market research indicated that local customers are travelling outside of the area to shop. The introduction of new retail space at the site will provide a broader range of services locally.

35 Click Traffic to Considerations edit Master title style The Transportation Impact Study (TIS) has been submitted to the City of Toronto for review. TIS parameters were vetted with City of Toronto Transportation staff and form the basis for existing and future mobility assessments. Parameters include: Study Area, Background Traffic Allowances, capacity analysis methodology and assumptions; Forecast traffic generation associated with the proposed Build/City lands is based upon comparable land uses within the City of Toronto/Scarborough context to ensure locational and built form consistency; Forecast residential & commercial peak hour traffic generation (two way trips) is approximately 250 vehicles during the weekday morning, 450 trips during the weekday afternoon, and 550 vehicles during the Saturday afternoon periods; Ingeneral general, the study area street network can appropriately accommodate the forecast future total traffic conditions without undue impact; Only minor improvements to study area street network operations are recommended to appropriately accommodate forecast future total traffic volumes, including: Optimizing traffic signal timing and phasing at are signalized intersections; Introducing a NB advance phase at Danforth and Victoria Park during weekday afternoon and Saturday afternoon design periods; and, Introducing signalized intersection control at Gerrard Street East and Dengate Road consistent with prior assessments by the City oftoronto. 35

36 Click Traffic to Considerations edit Master title style Key transportation features: (refer to annotated Site Plan to be provided by Tim) Maximized vehicular, cycling, pedestrian connectivity to adjacent major streets/rights of way; Internal street / laneway layout provides flexibility and accessibility to private and public land uses; Provision for future vehicular connections have been allowed for in the street layout e.g., Blantyre connection, GCD connection; The proposed street connections also make appropriate provisions for existing and proposed commercial land uses within The Quarry Lands; The commercial block has been designed to effectively distribute traffic to Victoria Park Avenus and the Musgrave Street extension; dedicated service vehicle facilities minimize the impact of delivery activity on day to day traffic activity. Commercial block parking has been located primarily beneath the commercial building, screening it from view. Vehicular parking has been supplied to accommodate the proposed land uses but balanced so as not to induce added vehicular traffic; and, Bicycle parking is being provided according to the Toronto Green Standards for both the residential land uses and commercial land uses. 36

37 Click Retail to MarketConsiderations edit Master title style Retail market capacity: There is sufficient market demand for up to 110,000 square feet of retail uses. The introduction of this space will not result in closures to existing business due to a lack of market demand. Up to 110,000 square feet of retail development is compatible with surrounding retail uses in terms of size. 37
