Council Meeting Minutes — Wednesday, April 27, 2022. And Whereas pits and quarries have negative social impacts on host communities in terms of noise, air pollution, and truck traffic on haul routes; And Whereas despite being heavy industry, mines are assessed at a reduced agricultural rate; And Whereas the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to combat climate change has brought awareness to the very high carbon footprint associated with the production of concrete and asphalt which are major end-users of aggregates; Now Therefore Be it resolved that the Province of Ontario be requested to impose an immediate temporary moratorium on all new gravel applications, including expansions to existing licensed sites, pending a broad consultation process that would include First Nations, Township of Oro-Medonte, other affected Municipalities, independent experts and scientists, to chart a new path forward for the extraction and processing of aggregates in Ontario which: i. Establishes criteria and processes for determining the need for new aggregate licences (including the expansion to existing licenses); ii. Establishes updated policies and restrictions for aggregate extraction below the water table to reflect current groundwater sciences; iii. Assesses the cumulative impacts of aggregate operations in terms of off-site impacts to environmental systems; the groundwater regime and base flow contributions to area watercourses and wetlands; area habitat including corridors; traffic along haul routes; and, dust and noise emissions; iv. Develops new guidelines for reprocessing and recycling of concrete and asphalt products in order to ensure sustainable aggregate supplies; v. Recommends a fair levy for aggregate extraction that includes environmental and infrastructure maintenance costs to the local community of extraction and distribution of aggregate; vi. Recommends a property assessment category reflecting the heavy industrial use of licenced lands; vii. Provides greater weight to the input by local municipalities to lessen the social impacts from aggregate extraction and truck haul routes through their communities; viii. Provides clarity on the role of host municipalities under the Planning Act in decision making on ARA licence site plan amendments; Page 8 of 14 Page 13 of 227 5.a) Minutes of Council meeting held on Wednesday, April 27, 2022.

Executive Summary This Item provides a preliminary conceptual design and estimated costing (not a firm quotation) on the proposed development of an accessible trail at the Simcoe County Museum. Staff is seeking feedback from the AAC in order to finalize the design. Background/Analysis/Options A multi-stakeholder project was completed in 2020 to restore over 100 acres of the former `Midhurst Ballast Pit' on the Simcoe County Museum (Museum) property. The project has created a unique forest habitat which is anticipated to eventually provide nesting habitat for the endangered Kirtland's Warbler. Broader objectives included forest restoration, habitat creation and the provision of educational opportunities. Access to the area has been enhanced with the establishment of a 2.6 kilometre multi-use loop trail called `Warbler Way', which links to the Simcoe County Loop Trail and the Trans- Page 36 of 227 Page 17 of 102 5.b) Minutes of Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting held on T... April 21, 2022 Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee - AAC 2022-058 Page 2 Canada Trail. Use of the existing trail has grown quickly and is enjoyed by walkers and cyclists alike. The Museum welcomes 30,000 visitors annually. The demographic includes people of all ages and abilities, and the Museum strives to provide barrier free access on-site whenever possible. Adding an accessible trail loop will provide additional opportunities for increased visitation to the outdoor spaces and provide a barrier free outdoor experience. It will provide a space for guided tours, museum programs, and activities that would benefit residents and visitors of all ages and abilities. An accessible trail at the Museum site aligns well with other County initiatives including Age-Friendly Simcoe County and the Simcoe County Trails Strategy. The Simcoe County Museum, Forestry, Planning and Tourism Simcoe County procured to engage a consultant for construction of an Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliant trail section. Staff is seeking feedback on the preliminary conceptual design completed by Planmac Engineering for the proposed one-kilometre Simcoe County Museum accessible trail. Financial and Resource Implications The Trails Connecting Communities Program (TCCP) funded $25,000 in 2021 to complete the draft detailed design plan by Planmac Engineering. Relationship to Corporate Strategic Plan To preserve, conserve, and safeguard our environment and natural resources, while recognizing opportunity, innovation, and the needs of our community.

Hiking Trail Itti- Fmtac+ml public ®NTARIQ L entities Trailabi I itTRAILS COUNCIL Guidelines A trail user can minimize most of the risks encountered on a trail with effective pre-planning. Therefore, it is imperative that trail stewards inform potential trail users of what to expect on the trail, what provisions they will need and provide that information in a format that is consistent across the province.Doing so will assist the trail user in making an informed decision as to whether this trail is within their abilities to use the trail thereby improving the users trail experience. Trailability focuses on the individuals own level of trail-use readiness. Recreational trails, in Ontario, are provided from the perspective of"users assume all risks'.The Ontario Trails Council's idea of trailability is a series best practices that allow users to self assess their level of preparedness insofar as their physical ability to use the trail.Along with the characteristics of the trail,the trail steward can provide information to users as to what provisions the user should bring to the trail. Use of this tool will be optional. If a trail organization chooses to adopt the methodology included in this document,the trail steward must comply with the provisions of this document. Trailability of the trail Trail Permitted Trail Other Trail Length Accessibility Classification Users Difficulty Amenities Wiest Area—Yes Washroom—Yes 7,253rn Cellsenrice—Na Class 2 �lhhours The colours of the circles are provided as a visual clue as to the level of preparedness for the trail,where Green — lowest level of preparedness and user effort (for a physically fit individual), Blue — low to moderate, Black—moderate to high and Red—highest or restricted level of preparedness. Page 1 of 9 Page 98 of 227 Page 79 of 102 5.b) Minutes of Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting held on T.. The words must,should and may are used throughout this document,where:Must indicates a mandatory condition;Should indicates an advisory condition;May indicates a permissive condition. Use of this Trailability tool combined with the OTC Trail Classification, which identifies such things as surface conditions of the trail and frequency of maintenance, should: 1) minimize the number of users becoming overwhelmed by an unexpected trail environment requiring emergency assistance; and 2) improve the users trail experience. The columns shown in the above table are defined as follows. Column 1—Trail Classification The Ontario Trails Council(OTC)has developed a Trail Classification that describes the trail:the tread type (asphalt or concrete,compacted granular,natural)and width of the tread,the environment within which the trail is located(urban,natural,wilderness)and the level of maintenance among other things.The trail steward must include which OTC Classification their trail falls within at the kiosk or standalone sign and/or website and provide a description as to how their trail fits into the classification. Column 2—Permitted Uses Permitted uses prepares users for the alternate modes of travel that may be on the trail. The coloured circle emphasizes the type of users, where a hiking only trail has a green circle, a non-motorized- multi use trail is blue, black is used for a motorized multi-use trail and red for a motorized only trail.The blue, black and red circle must include all permitted users.As an option, if there are seasonal variations in trail uses,consider swapping out the seasonal changes at the beginning and end of the winter season thereby reducing the number of symbols within the circle. (i) (DE) e Column 3—Trail Length There are 4 categories for trail length,a trail that is less than 5 kilometers in length is green, blue is a trail <10km, black is<20km and red is>20km.At the kiosk the trail steward must post the appropriate colour and within that circle identify the actual length of the trail to the nearest meter,see the example on page 1. <_5km <_10km <_20km >20km Page 2 of 9 Page 99 of 227 Page 80 of 102 5.b) Minutes of Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting held on T.. In addition to the actual length of the trail,the trail steward may add below the length the time it would take for an able body person to hike the trail, see table page 1. For linear trails,the trail length must be the total of the distance in and out. Column 4—Trail Difficulty To determine how difficult it is for a user to hike a trail, is tenuous.For one person a hike of a trail may be an easy task,for another person on the same trail the effort required may be significant.Whether a trail has a constructed or natural tread,minimal change in longitudinal grade,firm walking surface or a walking surface strewn with boulders all these elements have a role in how difficult a trail will be to navigate.To assist a trail user in determining their ability to use the trail the 4 colours green, blue, black and red are used to provide a visual clue as to the level of physical effort that will be required.Added to the coloured circle will be the maximum longitudinal grade that will be encountered on the trail expressed as"Rise over Run"where for example a "Max 1:8" means a rise in elevation of 1m in an 8m length of trail. NOTE:the trail steward may choose to add percent grade to the icon along with the rise over run information. Max 1:20 Max 1:15 To assign a trail to a specific colour the following guideline is provided: Green—to be assigned to the Green circle the longitudinal (running) grade must be relatively level (flat), smooth and even over the length of the trail. Longitudinal grade will be 1:20 or flatter.The trail would be considered an easy walk for a physically fit person. Blue—is a trail with small hills that gently rise and fall.The rolling nature of the terrain may not extend over the entire length of the trail.The trail may transition from flat to rolling. Isolated areas of flat terrain must not be taken into consideration when assigning the trail to the blue level of difficulty. If the longitudinal grade of the trail is greater than 1:20, to remain AODA compliant, the trail must have rest areas as per the requirements of AODA. The trail would be considered minimal to modest effort for a physically fit person to hike this trail. Black— is a trail that transitions from rolling hills to a more robust, rugged terrain where the tread and surrounding land is uneven,there are fewer than 25 five-meter(5m)ground contours per kilometer with a maximum longitudinal grade, rise or fall, of less than or equal to 1:8. Isolated areas of flat or rolling terrain must not be taken into consideration when assigning the trail to the black level of difficulty. If a person with a mobility issue cannot traverse the trail with assistance the trailability symbol for accessibility must be red. The effort required for a physically fit person to hike this trail is increasing over a blue or green trail. Red—represents a trail with the highest degree of physical effort for a physically fit person and is a trail that has rugged terrain where the tread and surrounding land is uneven,there are greater than 25 five- meter(5m)ground contours per kilometer and the maximum longitudinal grade rise orfall is>1:8.Isolated Page 3 of 9 Page 100 of 227 Page 81 of 102 5.b) Minutes of Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting held on T.. areas of flat or rolling terrain must not be taken into consideration when assigning the trail to the red level of difficulty. Column 5—Accessibility 0 ) E) E) & E To assign a level of preparedness,for a person with a disability,a green circle means the trail is fully AODA complaint. A trail with a blue circle represents a trail where a person with a disability may require an able-bodied person to assist them as they traverse the trail,as the trail is not fully AODA complaint.The trail steward must describe on their website what elements of the trail do not comply with AODA and why assistance is required. A trail with a black circle represents a trail where a person with a disability must have an able-bodied person with them to assist them as they traverse the trail, as the trail is not AODA complaint.The trail steward must describe on their website what elements of the trail do not comply with AODA and why assistance is required. A red circle with a red slash through the symbols identifies a trail where a person with a disability must not use the trail even with an able-bodied person to assist them. Column 6—Other Amenities This column is optional but provides an opportunity for the trail steward to describe the amenities that are located along the trail such as rest areas, washroom facilities and whether the washroom is fully accessible,cell service availability and so on. Posting the Trailability Table At the trailhead on the kiosk sign, the Trailability table as shown on page 1 along with all provisions required by the user must be displayed in a prominent location. If there is no kiosk,the Trailability table and the provisions required must be posted as a standalone sign.At secondary entrances,the Trailability table and the provisions required should be posted as a standalone sign. To save real estate on the kiosk or standalone sign, the trail steward could place a QR code on the sign, linked to the trail's website.The web page must include the Trailability table as shown on page 1 and all provisions required to ensure the trail user is prepared to embark on this trail. Page 4 of 9 Page 101 of 227 Page 82 of 102 5.b) Minutes of Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting held on T..

While most of these people have been either displaced within Ukraine or have fled to neighbouring countries, Canadian government agencies and grassroots organizations alike are planning for significant numbers of displaced Ukrainian families to migrate to Canada. The UNF, a national organization established 95 years ago by Ukrainian settlers in Canada,has a rich history of supporting Ukrainian families in Canada and advocating for the Sovereignty of Ukraine. The vast majority of its 600+ current members are either immigrants to Canada, or descendants of earlier waves of immigration from Ukraine to Canada. With a robust network of community connections and volunteers, established organizational infrastructure, and mature cultural and youth programming initiatives, that are already in place; UNF is well positioned to quickly modify existing programmes, as well as develop new ones; in order to further support families coming to Canada. Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver are expected to be the main arrival hubs for Displaced Ukrainians arriving in Canada. Past trends suggest that Toronto (GTA)is likely to see the greatest influx of displaced families. It is not yet clear whether the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal efforts at resettlement will be sufficient, and we anticipate there will be many gaps to fill, especially in the GTA and broader Ontario region. Fortunately, Toronto has a robust volunteer base, existing infrastructure, and programmes, which can be developed and further modified to meet the needs of incoming Ukrainian families. We also need to ensure that the programmes we develop and deliver are appropriately sensitive to the unique needs of these families. In our haste to `help', we must ensure we do not further `harm'. We therefore propose to `pilot' the programmes within the GTA; with the aim of expanding and rolling out the fully developed programmes and services to other locations and organizations as needed. In response to this humanitarian crisis, UNF is delivering programmes for displaced Ukrainian Families resettling in Canada starting in the Spring/ Summer of 2022. Five programmes organized under three streams are proposed: • Integration and Trauma Support; • Summer Day Camps and Retreats; and • Ongoing Accessible Programming. In anticipation of some of the gaps in services potentially being offered by government and resettlement agencies; UNF has prioritized these programmes with a view to providing migrant families with a safety net while they integrate and adjust to their new lives in Canada. Specifically,we anticipate that participants in the proposed programmes will benefit from the following: • A sense of belonging to a community-an extended family of sorts; • Guidance in navigating a sometimes very complex system of services offered by government and settlement agencies; • Support in navigating social services, employment, healthcare, public transportation, banking, schooling, other professional services, language classes, tutoring for children, extracurricular activities, tips on daily living in Canada, etc.; • Social support for parents and children to make new friendships and connections; Page 146 of 227 8.b) Deputation by Marta ChDgF gram Advisor; and Malanka Nazarowic... UNF YHO • Trauma and social support; and where needed, referral to professional help; • An environment that is welcoming and offers some familiarity in terms heritage, customs, language, religion, and culture; • A safe environment in which they can gradually acclimatize and integrate into Canadian life; • Availability of staff and volunteers who have received sensitivity training in dealing with recent and intergenerational trauma; • A Summer Day Camp filled with educational and fun activities; through which children can safely integrate with Canadian children in a familiar and closely supervised environment (prior to enrolling in school); and parents will have time to attend to chores of setting up life in Canada; • A Lakeside Summer Retreat with daily programming that offers a reprieve from hectic city life, and further helps them safely acclimatize to new Canadian norms and values within a culturally familiar environment; • Ongoing integration and support through regularly scheduled events and activities; geared at children, youth, and adults (together and separately); which include various extracurricular activities (sports, arts, crafts, dancing, choir, tutoring, cultural events) UNF Camp Sokil Summer Retreat Program For over 60 years, UNF Camp Sokil on the shores of Lake Simcoe, has offered extraordinary experiences for generations of members. In lieu of the annual summer children's/youth camp, UNF Toronto plans to host Displaced Families arriving from Ukraine in the camp facilities. When Displaced Families arrive in Canada, in addition to the trauma they have already experienced, they will be faced with the stress of needing to adapt to a new place and language, and with uncertain futures. Re-establishing shelter and identity, while trying to juggle the tasks of daily living, is yet another significant challenge these families must undertake. Research shows that post-migration stress significantly influences the emotional well-being of displaced persons, and often provides a risk similar to or greater than the trauma they have already experienced (refugeehealthta.org). They are also likely to face isolation and loss of a sense of purpose in life. An emphasis on re-creating connections with families and communities is likely to be an important factor in ensuring successful integration of individuals and families (globalizationandhealth.biomedcentral.com). The Families arriving from Ukraine are very likely to be single parent families (mother only), which poses yet another stress on their process of adaptation. As Canada welcomes thousands of Displaced Families from Ukraine, the opportunity exists to not only help those that need it, but also to enrich our communities and country. Page 147 of 227 8.b) Deputation by Marta ChDgFfg, gram Advisor; and Malanka Nazarowic... UNF YHO In our efforts to help Displaced Families adapt to their new circumstances, in addition to support services being offered in major city centres, we plan to offer some reprieve and respite, which is away from the hustle and bustle of setting up a new life. The mini hiatus will take place in cabins (and/or tents) surrounded by forests and fields on the shores of a beautiful fresh water lake. Additionally, and most importantly, it will be in an environment that celebrates our multicultural heritage. They will find a 'home away from home' in which they learn to uphold new Canadian norms and values, while also being entrenched in their own familiar heritage, customs, language, religion, and culture. Visiting families will be sheltered and fed in the existing camp facilities. They will have the opportunity to participate in organized programs (exercise, arts and crafts, games, sports, bonfires, singing, and other activities) that are targeted for the entire family; as well as some children/youth oriented activities that will give parents (mother) some breathing space. Current members who are on-site during the season are invited to join in the activities and make fresh connections with new members of our community. Overall, there will be opportunities to rest, relax, mingle, network, gain new skills, enjoy nature, make new friends, and become part of an extended family.

File #: Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. Report No. OCS 2022-13 be received and adopted; 2. That staff proceed with the implementation of traffic calming measures on Line 15N between Bass Lake Side Road and Hwy 12; 3. That Council approve an allocation of $5,000 from the Police Services Reserve Fund to provide for targeted traffic enforcement as a pilot project; 4. That the traffic calming measures be monitored and reviewed for their effectiveness and results shared with Council and the community; 5. That the community and public service providers be notified of Council's decision. Background: At its meeting of March 23, 2022 Council received staff report OCS2022-10 which reviewed options and considerations to reduce traffic volumes, travel speeds and traffic safety risks on Line 15 N between Highway 12 and Bass Lake Side Road. A northbound directional closure of Line 15N at Bass Lake Side Road was identified as the preferred option for consideration subject to additional community consultation and input from public service providers prior to rendering a decision. Analysis: Information on the proposed directional closure of Line 15N and requests for input was posted on the Township's website and mailed directly to property owners on Line 15N between Highway 12 and Bass Lake Sideroad and side streets accessed from this road segment. Communication was also shared via the Bass Lake Ratepayers Association Line 15 group.

The residents who attended the sessions were largely supportive of the proposal with several residents supportive of the objectives but wanting to see less intrusive measures reviewed and trialed before proceeding with a directional closure. From the virtual session, there was approximately 8 additional households supportive of the proposed directional closure that had not submitted written communication. Key aspects of public feedback • Public safety is a concern; • Growth in Orillia will further impact traffic, not only Line 15N but Bass Lake Side Road and Atlantis Drive; Impacts of directional closure on other areas streets should be considered/monitored; • Active transportation — considerations to improve pedestrian use of roadways — connections to Orillia; • Traffic calming should be considered beyond the beach i.e. closer to Bass Lake Sideroad and Hwy 12; • Concerns regarding use by heavy trucks; • Potential for driver confusion with one-way restriction and chicanes; • Directional closure may create challenges to climb hill in winter months; • Directional closure will result in significant inconveniences for day to day movement, mailbox access etc.; Operations and Community Services May 11, 2022 Report No. OCS 2022-13 Page 2 of 9 Page 154 of 227 10.b) OCS2022-13, Shawn Binns, Director, Operations and Community Servic... • There is a need for additional traffic enforcement — speed and heavy trucks; • Those opposed have suggested additional traffic calming and enforcement be implemented prior to the implementation of more restrictive measures; • In addition to targeted feedback received to date, a directional closure will likely not be well received by residents and motorists who use this segment as rerouting may cause some inconvenience. Comments from public services providers Emergency Services While emergency services would be permitted to travel in both directions to provide service a number of concerns were expressed, specifically: • Directional closure may lead to confusion with motorists as well as service providers which could negatively impact response times. • Spacing of traffic calming should ensure there is no interference with fire apparatus. • Ensure provisions for Fire and Emergency Services access to beach area to draw water and launch water response. • Paramedic Services would like to review directional closure in more detail prior to decision on implementation. City of Orillia No concerns Canada Post No comments received although several residents from Hwy.12 access communal mailboxes on Line 15N. Waste Services Expressed some concern regarding access and travelling northbound for servicing during peak times (peak times overlap with collection time) as collection vehicles are single occupant and can only collect from the right-hand side. Recommendation to trial and address any issues as they arise. School Bussing School bus lines were not directly consulted; however, route adjustments would be required to accommodate a potential directional closure. Operations and Community Services May 11, 2022 Report No. OCS 2022-13 Page 3 of 9 Page 155 of 227 10.b) OCS2022-13, Shawn Binns, Director, Operations and Community Servic... Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) No comments were received prior to the report submission. MTO jurisdiction would be limited to Hwy 12. Bass Lake Provincial Park The park has a seasonal entrance which provides access for day use from October — May. The entrance location is at the base of the hill south of Bass Lake Sideroad. A north bound closure would force vehicles leaving the park to travel south and enter the road at an incline where traction could be limited based on weather conditions. The park has reported issues with vehicles leaving the park in winter months not being able to climb the hill. Recommended approach In considering the mixed feedback received from the community and input received from public service agencies along with the review of options for traffic safety improvements in Report OCS2022-10, it is recommended that enhanced traffic calming measures be implemented in 2022 prior to considering one-way restrictions. The traffic calming configuration objective would be to both reduce traffic volume and travel speeds. This would be achieved through the installation of chicanes along the beach area, road narrowing through the application of flex stakes close to north and south limits of the road segment and the application of dynamic radar signs (Attachment 2). These interventions would be limited to seasonal application, although staff are reviewing options that could be carried through to winter. To augment compliance measures, it is recommended that the community safety zone designation be extended from the current May 1 to October 1 to full year application due to the recreational uses now taking place throughout the year. Further it is recommended that Council consider providing an allocation of $5,000 from the Police Services Reserve Fund to augment police resources to provide focused traffic enforcement along this segment further bolstering driver compliance. This would also provide a pilot to assess to the effectiveness of this intervention for potential expansion across the Township's road network. The proposed approach is responsive to the feedback received from the community and public service providers and will provide noticeable improvements to traffic safety. The staged approach of the proposed direction will allow for assessment of the effectiveness of the new traffic calming measures and further inform the potential impacts/considerations for public service providers prior to advancing more restrictive measures while providing motorists with an adjustment period on the new measures. Operations and Community Services May 11, 2022 Report No. OCS 2022-13 Page 4 of 9 Page 156 of 227 10.b) OCS2022-13, Shawn Binns, Director, Operations and Community Servic... Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: The proposed recommended direction will provide tangible improvements for traffic safety. A project budget of $30,000 has been identified for Line 15 North Traffic Calming in the revised 2022 Roads Capital Program endorsed by Council on January 12, 2022. The recommended direction allows for a continued phased approach which will be monitored to review effectiveness and for potential implications on other roadways with adjustments considered accordingly. The investment in traffic calming measures would be required to achieve objectives if future directional closure is considered. Should there be a need to consider future directional closure there will be a minimal investment required for barricades, signage and line painting. The Police Services Reserve Fund was established to smooth the rising cost impacts associated with Municipal Policing. The $5,000 for targeted traffic enforcement from this reserve will not materially impact this objective and is expected to have a cost recovery component through the generation of additional Provincial Offences revenue.

File #: Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. Report No. OCS 2022-10 be received; 2. That Council consider Option 2a — Directional closure of Line 15N from Hwy 12 to Bass Lake Sideroad subject to additional community consultation; 3. That staff report back to Council for further direction/decision following the consultation program. Background: As identified in the 2019 Oro-Medonte Road Network Plan — Road Systems & Operations Report, travel speeds and traffic volumes along Line 15 North between Bass Lake Sideroad to Highway 12 are becoming an increasing concern. This section of road is intended to serve a local function, providing direct access to several homes and side streets as well as the Bass Lake beach area. The beach area experiences relatively high recreational demand during the summer months which generates pedestrian traffic and on-street parking pressures through the immediate area further compounding traffic safety concerns. Despite the intended function of the road, daily traffic volumes are more reflective of a high use collector road (2019 daily volumes were in the order of 4300 vehicles per day). The traffic volumes are expected to increase with the continued development of the West Orillia area as a number of direct access points to Line 15 North will be provided between Bass Lake Sideroad and Old Barrie Road. Furthermore, as volumes on Highway 12 increase, motorists divert to Line 15 North to avoid Highway congestion. Given the intended local function of Line 15 North between Bass Lake Sideroad and Highway 12, a traffic calming pilot project was introduced to address the travel speed and traffic volume concerns, with the ultimate goal of returning Line 15 North to its intended use as a local road. The pilot program, consisting of temporary speed cushions, narrowed travel lanes (through pavement markings) and supplemental pavement markings (dragon Operations and Community Services March 23, 2022 Report No. OCS 2022-10 Pagel of 9 Page 162 of 227 10.b) OCS2022-13, Shawn Binns, Director, Operations and Community Servic... teeth) through the beach area along with the use of dynamic radar signs and targeted traffic enforcement did not deliver the results that had been hoped for (namely reduced traffic volumes and travel speeds). In light of this, more restrictive measures have been reviewed in order to properly address the existing concerns with the objective of reducing traffic volumes and traffic safety risks. Analysis: Tatham Engineering was engaged in late 2021 to conduct a review of options and considerations to reduce traffic volumes, travel speeds and improve traffic safety on Line 15N. The review identified and outlined considerations for three potential options with varying orientations. A summary is provided below: Option 1- Full Closure A full closure involves wholly preventing vehicles from continuing along a road in both directions through implementation of a physical barrier. Full closures can be implemented at intersections or mid-block (provided a convenient location can be identified). The intent of a full closure is to eliminate through traffic entirely, returning a road to a local function. The primary advantage of a full closure is that it is 100% effective in reducing traffic volumes through complete elimination of through traffic. The disadvantages include restricted access to local residents along Line 15 North, impacts to emergency vehicle response times (unless the closures are designed so as to allow emergency vehicle access — i.e. gates, collapsible bollards, etc.), and disruption of snow clearing, bussing and garbage routes. A full closure would also require land acquisition to facilitate appropriate turn arounds and would require cooperation for land from Ontario Parks (Bass Lake Provincial Park) for full closure at Bass Lake Side Road, the North, or South Park Gate, or private property north of Ruttledge Road approximately 50m south of Highway 12. Approval from the Ministry of Transportation would also be required for closure at Highway 12. Option 2 — Directional Closure A directional closure involves limiting traffic flow to a single direction (i.e. one-way travel) through the implementation of a barrier extended to the centreline of the road at the road segment limits. Applied to Line 15 North, directional closures could be implemented at either the intersection of Line 15 North at Bass Lake Sideroad (Option 2a) or at Highway 12 (Option 2b) (although MTO approval would be required for any changes to the intersection with Highway 12). By implementing access restrictions at one of the noted intersections, access to the road is prohibited at that location, effectively prohibiting through traffic in one direction for the entire length of road. While a directional closure could be Operations and Community Services March 23, 2022 Report No. OCS 2022-10 Page 2 of 9 Page 163 of 227 10.b) OCS2022-13, Shawn Binns, Director, Operations and Community Servic... implemented mid-block (i.e. in the vicinity of the beach), the circumvention of such would be more likely as motorists would resist backtracking along Line 15 North. The advantages of directional closure include the reduction of through traffic in one direction by 100% and reduced travel speeds (Transportation Association of Canada - TAC) research indicates reduction in 85th percentile speed by up to 11 km/h). Emergency vehicles are able to circumvent the one-way restriction as necessary during emergency operations. As the emphasis is to restrict access to the road from one location rather than egress, residents along Line 15 North are still able to access Highway 12 and Bass Lake Sideroad, which offers better service than a full closure. The disadvantages are that directional closures only reduce traffic in one direction (i.e. one direction would continue to experience high volumes), restricts access for local residents to one location and can impact waste collection, snow removal and bus routes. In addition, motorists may deliberately disobey the one-way restriction, particularly during off peak hours. Option 2a. Directional Closure at Bass Lake Sideroad Option 2a would be to close northbound access to Line 15 North at Bass Lake Sideroad. The closure point would be located at the intersection of Line 15 North with Bass Lake Sideroad, with the northbound receiving lanes on the north leg of the intersection closed through the placement of a barrier configured so as to create a channel or throat to further discourage circumvention of the closure. In addition to the barrier, no-entry/wrong-way signage would be required to alert motorists to the directional closure. Option 2b. Directional Closure at Highway 12 Under Option 2b, southbound access to Line 15 North would be closed at Highway 12 (approximately 50 metres south of Highway 12 so as not to restrict access to the existing commercial property on the southeast corner of the Highway 12/Line 15 North intersection). The directional closure would be enforced through the placement of a barrier in the southbound lane. In addition to the barrier, no-entry/wrong-way signage would be required to alert southbound drivers to the closure. This closure would require MTO approval which may be difficult to attain as there would be concern of impacts to the highway system (particularly during the early stages of implementation). Under both Option 2 orientations additional warning signage would be required along Bass Lake Sideroad to indicate turning movement prohibitions. Option 3 — Traffic Calming Measures As previously highlighted recently implemented traffic calming measures including speed cushions, line painting and targeted traffic enforcement have not yielded considerable benefit. Additional traffic calming considerations were reviewed but do present a number of limitations such as seasonality (removed for snow removal), damage to devices and Operations and Community Services March 23, 2022 Report No. OCS 2022-10 Page 3 of 9 Page 164 of 227 10.b) OCS2022-13, Shawn Binns, Director, Operations and Community Servic... roadways, limited effectiveness to location of installation and high cost considerations (lifecycle and operating). Moreover, the measures would likely have limited impact on traffic volumes. The main benefit is they would continue to permit two-way traffic while potentially providing minor improvements to traffic volumes and speed (during installed period). Additional traffic calming measures such as the use of chicanes could be applied with a directional closure and would assist with speed reduction and improve safety and access for pedestrians and public use of the existing beach area. Recommended option and direction Option 2a, a directional closure at Bass Lake Sideroad, is recommended as it can be implemented at the intersection (rather than mid-block, as is required in Option 2b), would not have potential implications to Highway 12 traffic and would not require MTO approval. Directional closure at Bass Lake Sideroad, if properly obeyed by motorists, would result in improved operations at the intersection of Highway 12 with Line 15 North. While southbound volumes would not be reduced on Line 15 North, northbound through traffic would theoretically be reduced to zero. The implementation of this option would also reflect a continued staged approach to traffic calming in the area by introducing an added level of traffic flow restriction to be assessed prior to consideration of a full closure. It is further recommended that additional traffic calming through the use of temporary chicanes be implemented at the north and south limits Line 15 North Bass Lake beach area to enhance safety and recreational access. Stakeholder considerations As previously referenced considering a directional closure will limit residents on this segment to one point of access which may be seen as an inconvenience to some. In addition, residents around the area and motorists who currently use this segment as a by-pass to Hwy 12 may also be inconvenienced with alternate travel routes. While this is understood, there are no other feasible options to address the traffic volume and safety issues which continue to be compounded with the growth of West Orillia. Staff have reviewed options and the recommended direction with the Township's Traffic Safety Task Force and the Line 15 North Bass Lake Ratepayers Association group who were generally supportive of the proposed direction. However, prior to rendering a decision it is recommended that further consultation occur with residents along this segment of Line 15N, as well as emergency and public service providers (Waste collection, School Bussing). In addition, information on the proposed direction and an opportunity for the general public to provide comment will be made available through the Township's communication channels. Following the consultation program an updated report and final recommended direction for 2022 implementation will be provided for Council's consideration.

Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: The proposed recommended direction will provide tangible improvements for traffic safety. A project budget of $30,000 has been identified for Line 15 North Traffic Calming in the revised 2022 Roads Capital Program endorsed by Council on January 12, 2022. The recommended direction allows for a continued phased approach which will be monitored to review effectiveness and for potential implications on other roadways with adjustments considered accordingly.

The review completed by Tatham Engineering has identified potential options with respect to full closure, directional closure of Line 15 North and additional traffic calming.

Notice of Open House Official Plan Review for the Township of (!1ir+ 1/c� t�r�.rr• Oro-Medonte The Township of Oro-Medonte has initiated the process to update its Official Plan pursuant to Sections 17 and 26 of the Planning Act, as amended. What is an Official Plan? An Official Plan is a municipal policy document that guides decisions on land use and development. It sets out the vision, goals, and objectives for the municipality, provides broad direction on matters such as growth management, infrastructure, protecting natural resources, employment lands, housing, natural hazards, parks, and the public realm, and maps out land use designations across the Township. The Township's Official Plan must be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the County of Simcoe Official Plan, and other provincial plans and strategies, such as the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan. Council's decisions on planning applications must conform to the Official Plan. Purpose: The purpose of the new Official Plan is to address the requirements of the Planning Act.This Act requires municipalities to conduct an Official Plan Review every five years and to address Provincial plans, policies and matters of Provincial interest. The Official Plan Review is a Township-wide initiative affecting all lands within the Townsihp of Oro-Medonte. The Township's current Official Plan was originally approved in 1997 and revised in 2007. The new Official Plan will replace the current Official Plan. Since the Township's current Official Plan was adopted in 1997 (and amended several times since then), there have been significant changes to planning policy at the Provincial and County levels including: release of two (2) new Growth Plans (July 1, 2017 and May 16, 2019), Amendment 1 to the Growth Plan (August 28, 2020), a new Provincial Policy Statement (May 1, 2020), South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Source Protection Plan, the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan and the County of Simcoe adopted its most recent Official Plan in December 2016. The Township's current Official Plan needs to be reviewed to ensure conformity to Provincial and County policies, and it also needs to reflect local community objectives, growth and demographic change, and up-to-date principles of good planning. What will the new Official Plan include? The scope of Oro-Medonte's current Official Plan Review (OPR) process will consist of a conformity exercise to update the current Official Plan policies to address Provincial and County policies. More details regarding the scope of this conformity exercise and how the Township's Review will integrate with the County of Simcoe's Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR)will be discussed at the Open House. A further review of Oro-Medonte's Official Plan will be completed after the County of Simcoe has completed the Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) of the County of Simcoe Official Plan. A Zoning By-law Review will be initiated by Township staff immediately following Council's adoption of the Official Plan. The new Zoning By-law must conform to the new Official Plan. These updated review documents may impact the zoning of your property and you will have the opportunity to have your say in the Zoning By-law Review once initiated. Open House: May 18th, 2022 from 5:30 — 7:30 p.m. (There is a Presentation scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and informal Question & Answer sessions will be held prior to and following the Presentation) Page 175 of 227 14.a)Announcements of Interest to the Public: Township of Oro-Medonte, ...
