Existing Conditions

Study Area

Needs Assessment • Barrhaven South is the primary growth area

within Barrhaven, with a projected build-out of over 10,000 residential units prior to the urban boundary expansion (Barrhaven South CDP)

• Monarch Stonebridge, Mattamy Homes Half Moon Bay North and South, Tamarack Half Moon Bay and Meadows and Minto Barrhaven South are current developing communities

• The transportation network crossing the Jock River has been assessed in the Barrhaven South CTS and the infrastructure needs were identified

• The east-west arterial needs were not included and potential solutions for the community need to be explored

Developments Mattamy Minto

- Half Moon Bay N - Barrhaven South

• Automobile:

• Satisfy capacity and geometric requirements for multi-modal service and community trips across to north-south arterial network

Project Need and Justification • Complete Phase 3 and 4 of the Municipal Class EA

process for Cambrian Road

• Explore the form and function of the ultimate design for Cambrian Road and its compliance with: o current City planning documents

o current City design guidelines

• Ensure Cambrian Road meets the needs of the developing community

Next Steps • Consultation Group Meetings – March 12 and 14

• Existing Conditions Report Draft – March 26
