Study Level: Municipal Class EA – Master Planning Process, Approach #2

Purpose: The Master Plans were updated to identify future water and wastewater servicing needs to accommodate:

• Residential and employment growth;
• Intensification of the City as required by Provincial Policy; and,
• Optimal design and delivery of water and wastewater servicing city-wide.

The study area encompassed the entire city, including the annexation lands.

     List of Schedule B Projects

Notice of Completion was issued in November 2019 for the Tollendal Mill Road Bridge Project.

Purpose: To consider design alternatives and establish the preferred recommended design alternative for drainage improvements throughout the City of Barrie.

Scope:

The study was completed in accordance with Approach #2 of the Master Planning Process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015).  Alternative drainage solutions were developed and evaluated based on their natural, physical, social, cultural, and economic impacts and the opportunities and constraints of the project. A Notice of Completion is being issued for Schedule B projects. The Master Plan will become the basis for, and be used in support of, future investigations for Schedule C projects identified within it.  The Study Area excludes the Sophia Creek watershed and Mulcaster drainage area and the Salem and Hewitt’s Secondary Plan Areas, which were studied under separate projects.

Key Considerations: Impacts on property, municipal road systems, public safety and the natural environment.

The City undertook a Schedule “B” Municipal Class EA to determine drainage improvements within the Sophia Creek Watershed and Mulcaster drainage area. Study was initiated in 2016; the Notice of Study Commencement was published in August 2016. The Notice of Completion was first issued on November 30, 2017.

Consultant:  C.C. Tatham & Associates Limited

Study Level: Municipal Class EA Schedule “B”

Purpose: To consider design alternatives and establish the preferred recommended design alternative for drainage improvements within the Sophia Creek Watershed.

Scope: City of Barrie looked at a number of alternatives associated with implementing drainage improvements. The impact of these improvements on physical, natural, social, cultural and economic environments was also be evaluated during the study.

Key Considerations: Impacts on property, municipal road systems, public safety and natural habitat.

Public Information Centre: A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at City Hall  (Huronia Boardrooms A & B, 2nd floor) from 4–7pm. The public was invited to review and provide comments on the proposed design alternative solutions. Comments and responses received from the PIC were considered in the development of a preferred alternative solution.

Status: Study initiated 2014 and completed January 2017

Study Level: Municipal Class EA Master Plan

Purpose: To consider alternative stormwater management strategies to improve stormwater quality, water balance and erosion control. This study also includes a preliminary assessment of alternative funding sources to operate a financially sustainable stormwater management system.

Scope: This study looked at alternative stormwater management strategies that can be implemented on a City-wide basis as well as specific additional stormwater management opportunities consisting of underground infiltration galleries located within parks/school playing fields, low impact development retrofits as part of road reconstruction projects and the retrofit of direct draining catchments with mechanical water quality devices. This study assessed the impacts of the overall strategies on the physical, natural, social, cultural and economic environments. The City expanded the scope of this project to include areas within the NVCA boundary to allow the development of a consistent, City-wide stormwater management strategy.

Key Considerations: The purpose of the LSPP is to restore aquatic life, improve water quality, maintain water quantity, improve shorelines and natural heritage features and address impacts of invasive species, climate change and recreational activities. The development and implementation of the CSWM-MP is seen as a key vehicle for meeting the vision and objectives of the LSPP. The CSWM-MP provided direction to the City of Barrie on how the LSPP objectives will be achieved through the effective management of stormwater within existing and expanding settlement areas.

Public Information Centre #1 was held on June 25, 2015 at the Dorian Parker Centre. The public was invited to review and provide comments on the alternative stormwater management strategies and additional stormwater management opportunities within the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority boundary.

Public Information Centre #2 was held on December, 15, 2015, at City Hall. The public was invited to review information panels and provide comments on the preliminary preferred alternative solution, additional stormwater management opportunities and funding considerations. Project team members were available to answer questions and discuss issues with members of the public. Comments and responses received from the PIC will be considered in fine tuning of the preliminary preferred alternative solution that will be presented to City Council.

Consultant: R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited

Study Level: Municipal Class EA Schedule B

Purpose: To consider options for sanitary servicing and stormwater management for the Foster Drive area including Foster Drive, MacLaren Ave, Garson Street, Yeates Avenue and Merrett Drive.

Scope: City of Barrie will look at a number of alternatives associated with sanitary servicing and stormwater management and assess the impacts of these improvements on the physical, natural, social, cultural and economic environments.

Key Considerations: This neighbourhood is currently serviced by private septic systems.  As these systems are reaching the end of their expected service life, the City is studying alternatives to address sanitary servicing needs in this area. 

This neighbourhood was constructed prior to stormwater management regulations, and as such, stormwater runoff generated from this area flows uncontrolled to both Whiskey Creek and Lovers Creek.  The City is studying alternatives to provide stormwater management to this area to reduce nutrient loading to Lake Simcoe, reduce erosion impacts to the receiving watercourses, improve water balance and mitigate downstream flood risk.

Public Information Centre: A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on April 29, 2015, (4–7pm) at the Painswick Public Library. The public was invited to review and provide comments on the alternative solutions. Comments and responses received from the PIC will be considered in the development of the preferred alternative. 

Preferred Alternative: The following alternatives were selected as the preferred alternative for sanitary servicing and stormwater management.

Sanitary Servicing: Alternative 2 – Deep Sewer Alignment.  This alternative consists of open-cut gravity sewers intended to provide basement gravity servicing to the majority of homes.  Sewers will be installed at standard depths where possible.

Stormwater Management: Alternative 3 – Low Impact Development.  This alternative consists of low impact development (LID) practices installed within the municipal right-of-way.  The recommended LID practice is based on a storm sewer exfiltration system that includes perforated sewer pipes that allow stormwater to soak into the ground; thus allowing natural processes to filter stormwater.

Purpose: To examine options to improve the pedestrian environment by studying alternative streetscape configurations with the goal of creating more pedestrian space through wider sidewalks on Dunlop Street between Toronto Street and Mulcaster Street.

Scope: City of Barrie will analyze a number of streetscape configurations to increase pedestrian space including consideration of pedestrian promenades, one-way street and a reconfigurable street (for Dunlop Street).  The study will assess the impact on the physical, natural, social, cultural and economic environments.

Key Recommendations: The implementation of a reconfigurable streetscape that maintains two-way traffic and includes reconfigurable parking areas that can be used for either pedestrian space or parking depending on time of year and demand.

Public Information Centre: A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on Wednesday June 18, 2014 (4–7:00pm) at City Hall.
