Edmonton's Transportatiotl Master Plan

...implementation status 1.0 Introduction The Transportation Master Plan establishes the framework for how the City of Edmonton will address current and future transportation needs. The Plan sets out policies, strategies and priorities to guide transportation related decisions and actions on behalf of Edmontonians.

The Transportation Master Plan reflects a balanced and multi-faceted approach to addressing Edmonton's transportation needs. In keeping with this approach, the Plan is being implemented along a number of different fronts, in conformance with a set of ten-year priorities outlined in the Plan.

Exhibit 1 outlines the Transportation Master Plan Concept.

One of the key recommendations of the Transportation Master Plan was that a progress report be generated every three years to outline the status of proposals adopted for implementation. This Implementation Status Report is the first of these progress reports.

Transportation Master Plan responds to Edmonton's future transportation challenges with an approach that strives to: • • • • • •

Manage, rather than eliminate traffic congestion Provide a wider range of travel options Mitigate community impacts of the transportation system Keep the transportation system in good repair Support efforts and behaviours which limit environmental degradation Monitor and adapt to changing conditions

This Implementation Status Report describes major accomplishments in implementing the TMP since its approval. The report focuses particularly on the Plan's ten year priorities as listed on page 3. Where appropriate, the report also identifies ongoing or committed initiatives aimed at further implementing the Transportation Master Plan.

Exhibit 2 outlines key measures implemented in 1999 to 2001, while Exhibit 3 outlines measures proposed for implementation between 2002 and 2006.

The balance of initiatives to achieve the 10 year priorities are shown in Exhibit 4.

Edmonton's Transportation Master Plan

...implementation status 2.0 Major Roadway Intiatives 2.1 High Standard Major Arterial Corridors The Transportation Master Plan calls for the development of a system of high standard roadway corridors to address the substantial increase in cross-town travel expected to occur in Edmonton in future. The proposed system consists of Anthony Henday Drive, an Inner Ring Loop, and Highway Connector routes.

Anthony Henday Drive is expected to play a key role in the conveyance of people and goods within and through the greater Edmonton region.

Ultimately the roadway will be developed to a free-flowing standard with all intersections being grade-separated. Initial stages of the roadway will include some at-grade, signal controlled intersections.

Anthony Henday Drive Ten Year Priority Complete the southwest portion of Anthony Henday Drive, from Calgary Trail to Whitemud Drive.

Accomplishments •

The City of Edmonton signed a memorandum of agreement with the Province of Alberta wherein the Province has agreed to construct the southwest portion of Anthony Henday Drive by the fall of 2005 or earlier.

•

In 2000, a revised concept plan for Anthony Henday from 87 Avenue to Calgary Trail, was completed.

•

In 2000, Anthony Henday Drive was extended from Whitemud Drive to 62 Avenue. In conjunction with this work, 62 Avenue was extended from 189 Street to 199 Street. Construction of Anthony Henday Drive will continue over the next three to four years to complete the southwest extension.

•

In fall, 2000, the Alberta Capital Region Alliance submitted a request to the Government of Alberta for completion of Anthony Henday Drive around Edmonton by 2011.

Edmonton's Transportation Master Plan

...implementation status The second component of the major arterial corridor proposals is the Inner Ring Loop. The Inner Ring Loop consists of Yellowhead Trail, 170 Street, Whitemud Drive and 75 Street. The Transportation Master Plan calls for the enhancement of roadways forming the Inner Ring Loop to a more freeflowing standard. The objective is to reduce the number of at-grade signal controlled intersections, to reduce direct accesses wherever practical, and to operate these facilities at a minimum posted speed of at least 70 km/hr.

Inner Ring Loop (Yellowhead Trail, 75 Street, Whitemud Drive, 170 Street) Ten Year Priority Provide the first stage of the Inner Ring Loop; a six-lane facility with interchanges at selected locations.

Accomplishments •

The Yellowhead Trail Operational Review was approved in 1999. Improvements aimed at enhancing the standard of operation along Yellowhead Trail, between 82 Street and 156 Street include reductions in direct access, removal of some signal controlled intersections and re-routing of certain turn movements. Improvements are slated for construction beginning in 2002.

•

Bridge rehabilitation programs are addressing major structures across the North Saskatchewan River (Beverly Bridge — 1999), Ravines (Ellerslie/Whitemud Creek — 2000) and roadway over passes (Whitemud Drive at 86 Street and 75 Street — 2001).

Clover Bar Bridge

Edmonton's Transportation Master Plan

...implementation status 6.0 Implementing the Plan Securing the necessary funds is a key variable in the implementation of the Transportation Master Plan. At the time of the Plan's approval, it was recognized that traditional sources of funding would cover about two thirds of the cost of the Plan, and that other sources of funding would need to be pursued to cover the remaining costs.

Progress in securing additional funding for transportation infrastructure has been achieved since the Plan's approval in 1999. Up until 1999, the City received a capital grant of $25 per capita for eligible transportation capital projects from the Province of Alberta. This translated to a capital grant of approximately $16 Million in 1999. As of April, 2000, the Government of Alberta has amended its capital grant program to Alberta cities. The new grant is a Fuel Tax Rebate program that returns 5 cents of the 9 cents/litre provincial fuel tax to Alberta cities for transportation capital projects. The net effect of this change is an increase in provincial grant contribution to Edmonton from the $16 Million received in 1999, to approximately $65 million in 2000. This funding change has also reduced the requirement for matching City funds, allowing more flexibility for the City to address overall corporate priorities.

In addition to the change in grant program, the Province has agreed to fully fund the design and construction of the southwest extension of Anthony Henday Drive. Upon completion of construction, the Province will take over jurisdiction of the roadway and assume ongoing operating costs.

In addition to changes in provincial grant assistance, the City has been successful in securing $10 Million from the Government of Alberta and $10 Million from the Government of Canada as part of the Canada-Alberta Infrastructure Program, to be allocated to the South LRT extension.

Over the 2000 to 2005 time period, total funding from all governments and partners allocated to capital improvements to the transportation system in Edmonton will total $1 Billion, with funding evenly split between rehabilitation/replacement and supporting growth.

On the operating budget side, securing necessary funds for the expansion of transit services has proved to be an ongoing challenge. It is expected that securing sufficient operations funds for extension of transit service to new areas will prove to be an ongoing future challenge.

\ly

Edmonton's Transportation Master Plan

...implementation status Other challenges on the operating budget include the funding of roadway maintenance and rehabilitation, and accommodating growth in inventory.

The Transportation Master Plan outlined required funding over the next 20 years for both operating and Capital needs. This required funding, divided almost evenly between that required for roadways and that required for public transit. The 2001 budget closely matches this even allocation between roads and transit. The plan also identified a significant increase in the share of funding allocated to growth projects. This share has been increasing over the last two years, but addressing funding needs for growth projects will be an ongoing challenge.
