Doug Allingham presented on the 407 East Environmental Ass.essment and answered questions of the committee and audience. :,.-'{:::').'- i:..;.:.'C-}, -';i:";.':'.' Questions/Answers froin TSH: David Duffy offered that the GO and/or VIA Rail would offer a solution.tofhe traffic concerns. Answer. . 2000 'passengers per GO train equates to 1 lane of traffic. . This type of transit works when taking one complete trip from one location to another. A trip from Durham to Vaughan is about 2 hours due to connections. . Connections are the problem with this form of transit. . Would not significantly reduce the traffic on Highway 401. . Almost impossible to put back rail lines or expand them as many right-of-ways are gone. Cl. n ~~ DRAFT MINUTES OF THE CLARINGTON HWY. 407 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Linda Gasser asked for clarification on the Road Pricing Slide: Answer: . Road pricing has a lot of potential, however our current environment is not conducive to having road pricing programs soon enough to make a difference. . Tolling is a possibility - the policy allows for tolling for new facilities only. . Tolling is generally accepted by the public under sqme conditions. . Road pricing can shift traffic from one ro~plto' appt~ef. . A $10.00 toll to enter the downtown Toronto COUldWQrk but would be least accepted. What type of traffic would end up on a tolled highway? . Tolling would be as such to generate revenue. . . No toll forecasting will be done for this study. . No idea at this time how the highway will be constructed. or if it will be tolled. . Tolling does not reduce travel, if moves it from one place to another. AudienCe member stated that many people will not pay a toll. Answer: . "plumes on the 407 are increasing dramatically to a point where expansion is required. . Tolls have increased, but traffic has increased and continues to grow daily. . Truck traffic is present on the 407 and increasing. 7 to 8% of 407 traffic is truck traffic, compared to 15 to 20% truck traffic on the 401. . Saving 40 - 60 minutes in travel time is worth the price. People's time is worth more to them and will pay for the convenience. ~~fJl-fl1gron DRAFT MINUTES OF THE CLARINGTON HWY. 407 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE . Once the 407 is too congested, people will not sit in traffic to pay money. The owners need to find the right point (fee) to generate revenue and not lose too many travellers. Linda Gasser offered information from a Clarington This Week Statistics article: . 70% of cars have only one occupant and will have even if we build all the roads in the Durham Transportation Master Plan and widen other roads. . People are not paying the cost of decidingtc;>)1alie only 1 person in the vehicle. . Alternative 3 is only a temporary solutic;>n.\ ' Linda Gasser asked if the new corridor onlXlNas,l;ogstructed what solution would it deliver (subtrac:t outtheptherel~ments to see what the 407 would deliver orlitsown),', Sre would like to see the numbers on each element of the solution. Answer: MTO h,asincluded alltHe$lerhentsirran effortto be conservative>and tHeresults stillsHowVw'e need a combination of all tHe elements. , MTO does not,controltHe delivery of any other elements otHer tHan lI'le 407 corridor. ,,' ,..,.... ..........., A corridor on its>pwnwould require additional links. MTOhas offer$d incentives to multi passenger vehicles sucH as spe(:ialparj(ing,andcar pool lanes. Society has not been recetive; Lindaqasser stated that there should be something that ties the EA$tudy to the implementation decisions. A graphic is needed showing 16 lanes and multiple links to show the impact on the properties that would be required to accommodate it. Fred Biesenthal asked about road pricing versus transit pricing versus subsidies: Answer: . Toronto transit fares - 80% of the fares cover operating costs. . Durham region transit - 50% of fares cover operating costs. . It is unknown what cost the motorist pays for roads. . 100% of the gas tax does not go to transportation and roads. . Taxes pay for infrastructure. . Gas tax dollars puts only a small dent in the actual costs of road im rovements.

He asked if we have an envirQnmentari~suetoconsider in that if we do nothing the congestionbecome$worst and so does our environment. He asked the question "Do you agree that traffic levels expand to fill in traffic,. I.e. build a road and its full? Answer; Road construction is falling behind the need, when new roads are built people who were traveling in off peak times can now move to peak times - they are not new trips. The MTO is also talking about a separate transitway corridor adjacent to the traffic corridor. It was agreed that connectivity is the big issue. Will the proposed road act as a catalyst for agricultural land loss? Answer: No. The Greenbelt line will move north as lands along the south are being deleted from the Greenbelt. Can health care issues be quantified for each scenario? No. There would be a different answer provided from each ex ert. Clw:il1gton DRAFT MINUTES OF THE CLARINGTON HWY. 407 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Don MacArthur offered that it is a problem of getting people to embrace transit like they do their cars. Our transit system pales in comparison to other countries. It is economics of scale and it would not be feasible in Bowmanville.

Minutes of June 13, 2006 Approval of Minutes MOVED by Brian Reid, seconded by John Stoner. THAT the minutes of June 13,2006 be approved. CARRIED 3. Issues arising from the Minutes None 4. Introduction of Peter Waring, MNR Peter Waring introduced himself as it was his first appearance at a SWNA meeting. Peter is the Area Supervisor for the YorklDurham Region of MNR. He has received our minutes in the past. Peter apologized for not having more regular representation by MNR on the committee since Tim Rance retired. He is aware of the bridge erosion issue that we are hoping to obtain matching funding through MNR to repair. He indicated that our project was discussed but hat it was not approved as a priority for funding under MNR's grant program. He is not optimistic that it would be approved in the future. Peter Windolf inquired if our existing CFWlP grant from MNR could be used for the bridge project instead of the Lake Meadow planting project. Peter Waring will look into it and let us know. 5. Project Updates Kiosk Photo's of a CLOCA kiosk recently constructed at West Beach Road were passed around to the members to show the type of information panels and kiosk design that could be incorporated into the proposed kiosk at the Cobbledick parking lot. It was agreed that our interpretive signage program already provides ample information on the ecology and wildlife habitat of the SWNA and that our kiosk should provide information on upcoming events and possibly a detailed trail map. The Wilmot kiosk could also be designed to include natural stone columns to match the stone cairns. Trail Upgrades The Operations Department has committed to trail repairs once their staff is available. The will arrange for repair of the trail and installation of culverts where required. A request will be made to see if the repairs can be completed for the August 26 Butterfly event. Bridge Repair The Totten Sims Hubicki (TSH) assessment of the bridge's structural stability was discussed. Their assessment determined that the bride is in no danger of being undermined by the current. The concrete abutments are constructed on top of 4m deep piles. While the bridge is structurally sound the trail around the west abutment continues to erode away so TSH has recommended some hard armouring at the abutment to protect the trail. A copy of TSH's proposed design was given to Greg Wells for review by the GRCA. Any work within the creek is not permitted after September 15 unless special permission to divert water is obtained from MNR/GRCA. The project may need to be deferred until spring 2007. Nest Boxes Arthur was unable to contact the Wilmot Creek Woodworking Club because they are on summer break. He was able to get a Marten House built by an acquaintance for $40. We will prepare a cheque requisition to cover his cost. The Marten house now needs to be mounted on a pole high above the ground. Peter will contact Operations to see if they can assist. 6. Sub -Committee Updates Special Events The butterfly event is now confirmed and schedule for Saturday August 26 with tours at II :30 and I :30 PM. James Kamstra, a wildlife biologist, will lead the tours and will discuss bugs, butterflies and birds. The event will also include planting perennials to attract butterflies in the Lake Meadow and the construction of butterfly houses. Councillor MacArthur will bring the materials to construct 6 butterfly houses. T -bars will be requested from Operations to mount the boxes on. James Kamstra will be asked to identify a good location for the butterfly garden along the new section of the Lake Meadow Trail leading to the new shelter. Karin Murphy was given a list of butterfly friendly plants that she will try to source. Once a source is found Peter will arrange for the order and Karin will pick up and deliver to the event. Karin will also arrange for water and drinks to be provided at the lake shelter. Peter will ask Operations to provide 2 picnic tables at the Cobbledick parking lot and one at the viewing shelter by the bluff. Six t-bars to install the butterfly houses will also be requested. Communications Joe advise that a draft of the Newsletter is 50% complete and will be available for mailing later for this later this summer. The newsletter will re-cap Earth Day and our Butterfly event. John Stoner will prepare a flyer to be sent out to all those on the Wilmot mailing list to promote the Aug 26 event. An ad on page 2 of the newspaper will also promote the event. Leanne and Arthur will be notified once the poster is available so that they can distribute them as they see fit. 7. Other Business Karin, Arthur and Jim attended the "Check Your Watershed" day organized by the Ontario Federation of Angler and Hunters. Volunteers were asked to inventory culvert locations and measure stream widths for the Wilmot Creek Reconnaissance Survey. They reported it was a great learning experience. Peter Waring discussed the possibility of MNR relinquishing their ownership of the valley lands to either the Municipality or GRCA. The issue will require further discussion.
