9.   TRAFFIC AND       PARKING STUDY

 

 

 

A      BA Group is working on parking requirements. Indications are positive for over-all parking and traffic as this use will eliminate office potential, however, event traffic needs to be addressed. Solutions may be satellite parking or a third access ramp. The challenge will be dealing with the 407 over/under pass.

 

Further meetings will be held  between staff and Cole Engineering on the Transportation Study. A presentation will be made in January. Staff will meet with GO Transit, MTO, and ORC to integrate GO Station and 407 transit way station. A meeting is scheduled for February 7 regarding the 407 interface and hydro corridor.
