NCR Eastern Bridge Public Engagement Process begins
Summary of technical studies
https://ncc-website-2.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/Eastern-bridge-technical-studies.pdf
Transportation highlights:- Increased traffic on Montée Paiement and the Aviation Parkway estimated to be between 700 and 1,960 vehicles in the morning peak hour. [Can we assume the same in the afternoon?]
- A single STO transit route operating at 15-minute intervals is proposed for the new crossing. The proposed route would connect the Blair O-Train station via Ogilvie Road to the Rapibus’s La Cité station near Maloney Boulevard.
- It is estimated that the new corridor would attract between 14% to 28% of the interprovincial truck traffic.
- The Aviation Parkway, Montée Paiement and the bridge may be reduced in cross-section from from the six lanes proposed in earlier studies to four.
