With reference to the above application, a portion of Hancock Road at the junction with Baseline Road is proposed to be realigned. We have reviewed the proposal and noted that the proposed realignment is close to the freeway- to-freeway interchange of the technically preferred route with Highway 401. At Baseline Road, the crossing would be grade-separated with the link crosses above the at-grade Baseline Road. At this point of the study, we do not see any conflict of the proposed realignment with the technically preferred route, as long as the proposed realignment is outside the envelope of the freeway to freeway interchange. i i I i I i i i I i i McCORMICK RANKIN•2655 NORTH SHERIDAN WAY,MISSISSAUGA,ONTARIO LEK 2P6•1416)823.8500 FAX 623.8503
