PLEssis ROadUnderpass Project Background

» The City`s 2012 capital budget identified $77-million for the Plessis Road twinning and grade separation at the CN Rail Redditt subdivision, including cost-sharing between the Federal (Building Canada Fund; $25-million), Provincial ($25-million) and City ($27-million) governments.

» The project will involve twinning Plessis Road between Dugald Road and Pandora Avenue W. and constructing an underpass at the CN Rail Redditt subdivision.

» Plessis Road, within the project area, is the highest volume two-lane street in the city and a priority for widening.

» The combination of limited street capacity and train movements results in congestion in the area.

» The City of Winnipeg is coordinating the design and construction of the project in conjunction with local engineering firms and contractors:

• AECOM / Dillon is responsible for the design of the project

• MMM Group is facilitating the public engagement process

PLEssis ROadUnderpass Project Benefits

The project, once complete, will provide for the safe and efficient movement of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists in the area. Following completion, benefits of the project will include:

» Elimination of delays at the rail crossing

» Improved response times for emergency vehicles

» Improvements to the Active Transportation sidewalk and bike path network

» Improved traffic flow by twinning Plessis Road between Pandora Avenue W. and Dugald Road and adding additional lanes at the Dugald Road intersection

PLEssis ROadUnderpass Open House No. 1

» Following the Open House, all story boards were posted on the project website with a digital version of the feedback form available for completion. In total, 158 responses were submitted online.

» On February 28, 2013 an Open House was held for the Plessis Road Underpass Project. The Open House provided the public with an opportunity to meet with the project team, review the underpass design and provide feedback.

» The Open House was attended by 307 registered guests and feedback forms were available for all attendees. Feedback forms were completed by 181 attendees at the Open House.

PLEssis ROadUnderpass What We Heard

The following themes were most frequently discussed in the feedback form responses:

In the past, drainage in the area has been an issue.

Therefore the new underpass should be designed to

accommodate spring melt and heavy rainfall.

It is recognized the underpass construction will take time and

there may be temporary impacts to local businesses and residents. However, the project will benefit

the area in the long-term.

It was recommended that pedestrian safety, especially in the vicinity of Bernie Wolfe School, be considered during

the implementation of temporary alternate routes.

With the CN line currently slowing traffic movement along Plessis Road, the

project is welcome as it will reduce traffic congestion.

The landscaping and design of the underpass should be

visually appealing to travellers along Plessis Road.

Paths and sidewalks are a welcome addition, as they will provide linkages to the existing network of pedestrian and bike

paths in the area.

To Existing Drainage

» During heavy precipitation events, all discharge from the underpass will be stored in the dry pond. The dry pond will be sized to store the 100-year storm event as a minimum.

» Discharge from the dry pond drainage system to the receiving drainage systems will be restricted to preconstruction flows during a heavy precipitation event.

» Pumped discharge from the dry pond to the receiving drainage systems will only occur after levels in the receiving system have subsided to normal levels, after a major storm event, so that there will be no increase of peak water levels in those systems.

PLEssis ROadUnderpass Construction activities

» In order to complete construction by the end of 2014, a full closure of Plessis Road from Dugald Road to Kernaghan Avenue will be required during construction from July 2013 to the end of 2014 (local access to Mission Gardens will be maintained).

» Traffic flow will be monitored on an ongoing basis during construction.

» Ongoing discussions with Bernie Wolfe Community School are taking place with respect to traffic flow around the school grounds during construction.

PLEssis ROadUnderpass alternative Routes

» Plessis Road will be temporarily closed from July 2013 until completion in 2014.

» The closing of Plessis Road during construction is expected to increase traffic volumes on adjacent streets. The City`s intent is to maximize the use of regional street alternatives (e.g., Regent Avenue W.) and minimize traffic increases on non-regional streets (e.g., Bournais Drive) without restricting access for local residents.

» Advance signage, at nearby major regional street intersections, will advise drivers of the road closure on Plessis Road and direct them to alternate regional street routes.

» Intersections on Plessis Road directly affected by the closure (Regent Avenue W., Pandora Avenue W. and Dugald Road) will have their traffic signals retimed. These changes will improve the flow of traffic and encourage drivers to stay on the regional street system.

PLEssis ROadUnderpass Bournais Drive Traffic Management Plan

The Concern » Many people are concerned that the closing of Plessis Road during construction will increase traffic on Bournais Drive.

» Bernie Wolfe School is located on Bournais Drive and the crossing already receives large volumes of traffic, especially during school hours (buses, parent’s dropping off kids, etc.)

The approach » The City will not be promoting or encouraging use of Bournais Drive as a detour route during construction. Regional information

signage will promote the use of Lagimodiere Boulevard and Ravenhurst Street as north-south detour routes.

» Bournais Drive will remain open during construction in order to continue to accommodate movements in and out of the neighbourhood and provide access to Bernie Wolfe Community School.

» The intent of the construction traffic management plan is to move traffic as efficiently as possible on streets such as Regent Avenue and Dugald Road in order to minimize the incentive to shortcut through the neighbourhood.

» The City continues to meet with Bernie Wolfe Community School and the River East Transcona School Division to plan for and address potential issues around the school. At this time, provision has been made for additional adult crossing guards and a request has been made for enforcement of traffic regulations by the Winnipeg Police Services around the school in September 2013.

» Traffic will be monitored prior to and during construction to determine if traffic movements during construction are consistent with expectations.
