39 ! 10 Adelaide Street East Toronto, Ontario M5C1J3! ^ HERITAGE If y, TRUST Telephone: Fax : An agency of the Government of Ontario SENT BY MAIL AND February 7, 2019 Town of Caledon Accessibility Advisory Committee C/0 Amanda Fusco, Town of Caledon Interim Town Clerk 6311 Old Church Road CaIedon,ONL7C1J6 Dear Committee Members, Re: Update Regarding Accessibility Parking at the Cheltenham Badlands This letter is in response to a request from Amanda Fusco, the Interim Town Clerk for the Town of Caledon, to provide an update regarding accessible parking at the Cheltenham Badlands. As you may know, the Ontario Heritage Trust (Trust) recently completed a Master Planning process for the Cheltenham Badlands property. As part of its consultation efforts, the Trust and Region of Peel met with the Town of Caledon Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) on January 26, 2017 and on January 18, We also met with the Region of Peel Accessibility Advisory Committee on February 16, 2017 and on February 15,2018. During the January 26, 2017 AAC meeting, Region of Peel staff explained that the onstreet accessible parking space within the Region of Peel's right of way was designed in accordance with traffic safety standards. Region staff explained that the steepness of the walkway's slope along Olde Base Line road excluded the addition of accessible parking spaces in the main parking lot, given the fact that the walkway's slope (-13%) is much greater than the 5% gradient needed to be considered accessible. With the safety concerns in mind, in lieu of accessible parking spaces, Trust staff proposed the addition of 2 "priority" parking spaces in the main lot. AAC members present emphasized the interest in including accessible parking spaces in the main lot and did not support the proposal of priority parking spaces as there were concerns with enforceability and darification of who could or should park there. During a subsequent meeting with the Region of Peel AAC (February 16, 2017), Trust staff highlighted the intent of exploring landscape design modifications to allow the addition of regulated accessible parking spaces in the main lot. On April 4, 2017, the Town of Caledon council adopted a resolution requesting the addition of 2 accessible parking spaces in the Olde Base Line parking lot and an internal accessible walkway linking the 1/2

40 Olde Base Line parking lot to the main viewing area. In response, the Trust and its partners investigated the potential of adding an internal recreational trail route to address the AAC's and council's request. During the January 18, 2018 AAC meeting, Trust staff reported that, after detailed research, several site visits and much planning, the accessible trail route and 2 regulated accessible parking spaces were successfully incorporated into the Master Plan for the property as per the AAC's and the Town's request. Trust staff explained that the new accessible trail would provide a safe and accessible route to the main badlands feature and enable the addition of 2 regulated accessible parking spaces in the main parking lot. These works (accessible trail, accessible parking space additions) were identified as priority projects and included in Phase 1 of the Master Plan implementation. Given that the site was reopened in September 2018, this year's priority will be to work with our site management partners at the Credit Valley Conservation and Bruce Trail Conservancy to gather visitor data to inform and direct site management activities including the implementation of the new infrastructure outlined in the Phase 1 of the Master Plan. This data will be integrated into and is vital for Phase 1 implementation, which will involve design, fundraising and development approvals. The addition of the accessible parking spaces at the main parking lot continues to be a priority for the Trust and our partners as we gather data to refine our implementation efforts. The Master Plan and recent infrastructure projects benefited from the input of the Town of Caledon AAC and we look forward to again working with the AAC. We anticipate additional consultation to occur once we reach the design stage of the Phase 1 implementation. At that time, we'll request to present to and seek feedback from the Town of Caledon's AAC as the process unfolds.
