Council will consider initiation of an Alternative Approval Process (“AAP”) Monday, Feb. 5, as required to authorize the proposed funding agreement associated with the accelerated construction of South Perimeter Road
Johannes Saufferer, Real Estate Services Manager says “It is an important connection that will provide a third link in and out of the upper Mission.” "The existing communites that are fairly well established are The Ponds in The Upper Mission and Crawford, those are the two ending points." "It'll help ease traffic congestion...not everyone will have to take Lakeshore and Gordon."
Should Council approve the initiation of the AAP, the public would be given between February 14th and March 16th to submit opposition. The AAP will pass if fewer than 10 per cent of elector’s object by 4 p.m. Friday March 16.
The 20-year Servicing Plan, Road Network Plan and Financing Strategy would be revised to prioritize South Perimeter Road, Gordon Drive extension and Stewart Road West improvements over other previously planned transportation improvements such as Lakeshore Road between Vintage Terrace to Dehart Road, upgrading the bridges over Bellevue creek at Lakeshore Drive and Gordon Drive and the extension of Frost Road to Chute Lake Road.
The project cost is $9.26 million
