Alternative Concept A proposes the construction of a frontage road connecting WoodhilfRoad to <br />Fox Street. This frontage road would be located on the north side of the rail trackage that is <br />adjacent to the north side of CSAH 15. This concept would allow for the closure of the Russell <br />Avenue and Woodhill Road connections at CSAH 15. This, of course, would increase the safety <br />along CSAH 15 and for traffic using Russell Avenue and Woodhill Road. This concept succeeds <br />if a signal is installed at Orono Orchard Road and CSAH 15. Negative aspects of the concept <br />include the wetlands that would be affected and the length of the improvement is more costly <br />when considering other alternatives. <br />Alternative Concept B provides a connection from Woodhill Road to Dickenson Street, which in <br />turn connects to Orono Orchard Road. This connection would also allow for the closure of <br />Russell Avenue and Woodhill Road at CSAH 15, thus improving safety. The topography, with <br />regard to the difference in elevation between Dickenson Street and the new frontage road <br />connection, is quite severe and may cause this to be an expensive connection. Dickenson Street <br />would probably have to be improved as the roadway width is very narrow. This concept also <br />requires a signal at CSAH 15 and Orono Orchard Road. <br />Alternative Concept C provides a connection from a private road to Dickenson Street. This <br />private road intersects Woodhill Road north of CSAH 15. This concept would also allow for <br />closure of Russell Avenue and Woodhill Road at CSAH 15. A signal would be required at <br />CSAH 15 and Orono Orchard Road. This concept would require connection to a private road. <br />Alternative Concept D provides a connection from Woodhill Avenue to the golf course <br />circulation area. This connection would not allow for closure of existing access along CSAH 15. <br />This connection may be the least expensive of the alternatives given the distance to construct. <br />This alternative would also benefit greatly from a signal at CSAH 15 and Orono Orchard Road. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.1 <br />* I <br />t i <br />f 1
