Richview Memorial Cemetery

-located in the cloverleaf intersection of highways 401 and 427-exposed to all weather conditions-significant noise pollution-runoff, particulates and air pollution from surrounding roadways-unappealing visual aesthetics-not easily accessible

What NOT to do…

Avoidances Wetlands, water courses and water

bodies Forested regions Steep slopes Major roadways Densely urbanized area Excessive noise Excessive Pollution Undesirable visual aesthetics

Physical Contraints

Waterbodies, water courses, wet lands, and underground resevoirs

Conclusions In general the final decisions for

choosing these three suitable cemetery locations were determined by their:1. Parcel size: The bigger the Better2. Proximity to the road network: They

have to be accessible. 3. Proximity to various constraints and
