This report responds to a request from City Council to provide a summary of the anticipated traffic impacts on Lake Shore Boulevard West related to Ontario Place redevelopment, including the Therme spa, Live Nation renovations, and new Ontario Science Centre.
Based on a review of the submitted data within the Transportation Impact Assessment Update (dated September 13, 2023) by LEA Transportation Consulting Ltd., the proposed infrastructure improvements in the area, and the redevelopment of Ontario Place, traffic is projected to increase between 23 percent - 40 percent during the busiest periods which corresponds with an increase in travel times along Lake Shore Boulevard West of approximately 1-2 minutes and 5-6.5 minutes during the typical weekday/weekend peak hours and special event peak periods, respectively.
