11.2

NEW/ OTHER BUSINESS - GTA WEST CORRIDOR (413 HIGHWAY) (5.10)

Note: At the December 6, 2021 Development Services Committee meeting, this matter was referred to Council.

The original notice of this motion was given to Development Services Committee at its meeting held on April 19, 2021. The motion has since been revised.

CONTEXT AND HISTORY

1. Whereas the Province of Ontario initiated an Environment Assessment process in 2007 for the planning and construction of the proposed Highway 413; and,
2. Whereas the final recommendation of the Stage 1 Provincial Environmental Assessment (2012) was to first put in place the transportation system management components, rapid transit, freight rail improvements and expansion of existing highways prior to construction of a new expressway; and,
3. Whereas the Stage 2 Environmental Assessment (new expressway) undertaken by the previous provincial government was shelved because of strong objections by an Expert Panel in the fields of rural development, renewable cities, agriculture, environment, and efficient transportation who sounded alarms over predicted irreversible ecological harm caused by the uncontrolled, low density urban sprawl enabled by the Corridor; and,
4. Whereas the current Provincial Government revived the $6+ billion Highway 413 proposal in 2018, saying it could relieve congestion issues in the fast-growing Toronto suburbs and boost Ontario’s economy; and,
5. Whereas concerned citizens of Markham and a significant number of reputable organizations have demanded cancellation of the Highway 413 project, including: Environmental Defense, the David Suzuki Foundation, the Federation of Urban Neighborhoods, Gravel Watch, Halton Environmental Network, National Farmers’ Union-Ontario, Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition, Sustainable Vaughan, Concerned Citizens of King Township (CCKT), Transport Action Ontario, Greenbelt Council, the Wilderness Committee and Sustainable Mississauga; as well as formal opposition of Councils from the municipalities of Halton Hills, Caledon, Orangeville, Vaughan, Brampton, Mississauga, King and the City of Toronto; and,
6. Whereas the Federal Government has decided to conduct an Impact Assessment study for the proposed Highway 413; and,

AGRICULTURE

7. Whereas Ontario farming and food processing together employ one million persons and generate over $35 billion economic benefits annually: and,
8. Whereas the Greater Golden Horseshoe is the third largest agricultural producer in North America after California and Chicago; and,
9. Whereas the Province of Ontario is proposing to develop the Highway 413 by razing 809 hectares of pristine farmlands, some of which are Class A and Class B farmlands and many of which will immediately cease to be farmed and other lands which over time will be developed for non-agricultural uses; and,
10. Whereas the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has not completed an Agricultural Impact Assessment for the proposed Highway 413; and,

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

11. Whereas the proposed Highway 413 will cut across 85 waterways, and destroy protected Greenbelt lands including 7 entire woodlots, 220 important wetlands and valley land features, 10 different species-at-risk and hundreds of acres of vulnerable wildlife habitat; and,
12. Whereas the Greenbelt Plan’s permission for new infrastructure which negatively impacts key natural heritage features, key hydrologic features or key hydrologic areas requires determination that there is “no reasonable alternative” and that this has not been established through a planning process; and,
13. Whereas the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), which is the regulatory authority for developments in flood plains, wetlands, and valley lands, has also raised concerns about the potential impact of the proposed Highway 413 as well as the streamlined Environmental Assessment process; and,

GREENHOUSE GASES

14. Whereas the City of Markham has taken reasonable measures to mitigate against climate change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs); and,
15. Whereas responding to the climate emergency requires immediate re-evaluation of all transportation plans as GHGs from transportation is the highest single source of emissions; and,
16. Whereas the Province must take immediate measures to decrease GHGs through alternatives such as increasing public transit, including the necessary local public transit networks, to enable broad access to the higher order transit including high-speed electric trains; and,

INDUCED DEMAND AND ROAD ALTERNATIVES

17. Whereas the Highway 407 was created as a truck by-pass in order to relieve congestion on Highway 401, but the Highway 407 was tolled, thereby limiting the amount of relief provided by the Highway 407; and,
18. Whereas it is well known that, as new road capacity (lane-km) is constructed, traffic demand grows to fill this capacity by the phenomenon known as “induced demand”, resulting in roads that are as congested as they were prior to the expansion of the road; and,
19. Whereas several reasonable highway network management alternatives to the proposed Highway 413 exist and were recommended by the Expert Panel, including possible subsidies or congestion pricing that would shift truck traffic to the under-utilized Highway 407; and,

TRANSIT ALTERNATIVES AND TRANSIT ORIENTED COMMUNITIES

20. Whereas the proposed Highway 413 will allocate limited Provincial funds to the movement of vehicular traffic instead of much needed transit investments for complete transit-oriented communities; and,
21. Whereas transit investments and good land use planning decisions are vital to creating complete transit-oriented communities which are economically vibrant, where people and goods are moved seamlessly, and where multiple modes of transportation support the community including a focus on active transportation; and,
22. Whereas the proposed Highway 413 will lead to greater demand for development with more than 13,350 hectares of Whitebelt lands in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Caledon and Vaughan) being impacted, leading to greater urban sprawl and development that is not supportive of transit investment; and,
23. Whereas analysis has shown (https://ontario.transportaction.ca) that investment in various unfunded rapid transit projects, including GO Transit, 407 Transitway and LRT/BRT projects which can move 4-10 times the number of people as the proposed Highway 413, for the same invested dollars; and,
24. Whereas the 407 Transitway has been planned for decades but has no approved funding for its construction; and,
25. Whereas the City of Markham has consistently supported development of the transit-oriented communities,’ to support long term inter-regional transportation solutions and to enhance integration of our existing communities and supported rail integrated communities along both the GO Transit rail lines and the 407 rail transitway; and,
26. Whereas Uncontrolled urban growth threatens these resources and is widely seen to embed unsustainable infrastructure maintenance costs, deepen traffic congestion problems, increase transportation-related emissions of greenhouse gases and smog precursors, and reinforce social divisions; and,
27. Whereas planning and infrastructure decisions affect the shape of communities for decades, even centuries to come; and,
28. Whereas Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) positively contribute toward a more environmentally friendly and economically sustainable communities, reduce the reliance on car-dependent trips for all members of the community, therefore reducing Vehicle Kilometers Travelled (VKT) and reducing the high costs of auto ownership thus contributing to achieving affordable housing outcomes; and,
29. Whereas strategic land-use planning requires public policy that communicates TOCs as integral to a community’s long-term vision with supportive official plan and zoning provisions that facilitate density and mixed land use; and,

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

1. That the Council of the City of Markham does not support the proposed Highway 413 at this time; and,
2. That the Council of the City of Markham continues to support an integrated GTHA rail transit network which includes high speed rapid rail transit running beside the Highway 407 (407 Transitway); and,
3. That the Council of the City of Markham fully supports a complete Federal Environmental Impact Study pursuant to s.9(1) of the Impact Assessment Act (I.A.A.), prior to any advancement of the proposed Highway 413 project; and,
4. That the Council of the City of Markham requests that the Province undertake an economic evaluation and time travel analysis of Highway 407 versus the proposed Highway 413 including the potential for congestion and non-peak hour pricing or other highway management alternatives; and,
5. That if the proposed Highway 413 does not proceed, that the funding allocated for the proposed Highway 413 should be redirected to provide for rapid transit in the Regions of York and Peel such as investment in the 407 Transitway, improved GO service on the Kitchener and Milton lines, a new GO transit line to Bolton; and,
6. That the Council of the City of Markham recommends that the Province undertake a comprehensive economic benefits analysis of the potential for TOCs along the 407 Transitway, GO Rail Transit Network and new LRT/BRT lines versus the cost of urban sprawl triggered by the proposed Highway 413; and,
7. That the Province undertake an integrated review of the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan to develop a sustainable communities strategy to provide consistent and comprehensive policies for achieving affordable housing near TOC stations including policies to achieve the Province’s goal of 50 percent of all new housing over the next 30 years being within 800-1,000 metres of rapid rail transit station or high frequency (15 minutes or less, peak hour) bus transit; and,
8. That the Province must also update its affordable housing program to recognize the relationship between housing affordability and transit including the positive role of housing near rail transit TOC stations to improve the operational efficiency of the Provincial investment in mass rail transit; and,
9. That Ontarians need serious, transparent, and accountable infrastructure planning processes, based on clear and consistent rules designed to advance the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of their communities; and,
10. That a copy of this resolution be provided to the Regions of York, Peel and Halton, the Cities of Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto and the Towns of Milton, Caledon, and Halton Hills; and further,
11. That this Resolution be forwarded to:
