• Banwell Road is a municipal roadway classified by the Official Plan as a Class 2 Arterial with a required right-of-way of 42 metre. The Banwell Road Environmental Assessment has been completed for this section of Banwell, and the recommended design does not require any additional land for infrastructure improvements.

• All new exterior paths of travel must meet the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

• All new accesses shall conform to the TAC Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads and the City of Windsor Standard Engineering Drawings AS-204.

CITY OF WINDSOR - TRANSPORTATION PLANNING – Transportation Impact Study Comments – Jeff Hagan - April 7, 2020

We have reviewed the transportation impact study report for the above-noted application (“3175 Banwell Road Transportation Impact Study” dated February 4, 2020, by Jim Mallett, Rajan Philips, and Maddison Murch of Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited). Our comments are below.

Overall, the report establishes that the traffic impacts of the proposed development can be accommodated by the surrounding road network, but the report does not justify the need for the proposed right-in/right-out access on Banwell Road.

All issues noted with the report deal with specifics of site layout and site access that would be subject to consideration at the site plan application stage and are beyond the scope of the review required for a zoning application.

Detailed comments are as follows:

• Site Accesses: The report does not justify the need for the proposed right-in/right-out on Banwell Road.
  
  a. The justification offered – i.e. that it is desirable to separate resident traffic from staff and delivery traffic – could be addressed if the conceptual site layout shown in Figure 3.1 were modified to allow two connections to Driveway ‘A’.
