MOTION
Moved by Councillor T. Tierney
Seconded by Councillor L. Dudas
WHEREAS Blair Road between Meadowbrook
Road and Innes Road is currently a congested two-lane roadway and is a major
north-south arterial road in the east end;
WHEREAS approximately 430 buses destined to/from the Blair LRT
Station heading south along Blair Road currently travel in mixed traffic, which
causes delays for transit users;
WHEREAS widening Blair Road to establish transit priority lanes
supports the City’s strategic objective to deliver sustainable transportation
investments, improve transit service, and increase transit ridership;
WHEREAS the planning for the Blair Road widening is included in the
ongoing Brian Coburn/Cumberland Transitway (Navan Road to Blair Station)
Environmental (EA) Assessment Study;
WHEREAS the City is committed to completing the Brian
Coburn/Cumberland Transitway EA Study to resolve the urgent commuting needs of
residents of the growing east urban community;
WHEREAS the Brian Coburn/Cumberland Transitway project is more
complex than the relatively straightforward Blair Road widening project.
WHEREAS a completed EA is required prior to the implementation of
any major transportation project; and
WHEREAS separating the two studies would position the Blair Road
transit priority project to be ready for implementation sooner and would not
constitute piece-mealing in accordance with the Environmental Assessment Act
of Ontario;
WHEREAS carrying out the Blair Road widening project as a separate
EA study requires approval from Transportation Committee;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to separate the
Blair Road Widening for Transit Priority EA Study from the Brian Coburn/Cumberland
Transitway EA Study, so that the Blair Road portion becomes a standalone
project and EA study;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Blair Road Widening EA Study assess
the option of combined transit-HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes and address
pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and connectivity to the Blair LRT
Station.
