VISION & GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The Milton Mobility Hub will be an innovative transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly and
memorable destination. As the Town’s main urban centre, it will provide a mix of uses and
universally accessible public spaces that complement historic Downtown Milton, feature design
excellence, and frame views to the Niagara Escarpment. The focus will be a livable, walkable and
sustainable neighbourhood for people of all ages and abilities, with a range of opportunities to
live, work, play and connect.
The Guiding Principles have been developed based on public and agency input.

TRANSPORTATION FINDINGS
WALKING AND CYCLING
The envisioned future cycle
infrastructure map is illustrated to the
right. All streets will have sidewalks
on both sides of the street and
walking and cycling facilities will
be greatly improved from existing
conditions with new connections and
more facilities.
Infrastructure will consist of parallel-
to-street cycle tracks, multi-use paths,
bicycle lanes and off-street paths and
connections.
It is anticipated that the Milton GO
Station tunnel will become a non-fare
paid area to connect the north and
south sides of the rail corridor.
An off-street path adjacent to the Sample facility treatments
rail corridor will provide views of the Rail Corridor/ Separated Sample Integrated

TRANSPORTATION FINDINGS
PUBLIC TRANSIT
The envisioned transit route map for
the future is illustrated to the right
and includes both Milton Transit and
Regional services.
It is anticipated that buses will run on
frequencies between 5 to 15 minutes
on each route (many more buses
than today). GO Rail is envisioned to
provide two-way all-day service.
Local surface transit (bus routes) are
anticipated to receive priority (lanes
and signals) at key intersections:
• Main Street and Thompson Road
• Main Street and Ontario Street
• Main Street and Wilson Drive Potential transit priority treatments

TRANSPORTATION FINDINGS
VEHICLE TRAFFIC
Vehicle traffic will be busier in the
future, especially at key intersections
on Main Street, Thompson Road and
Ontario Street. Operations at key
intersections are shown for existing
and future conditions.
It is anticipated that some or most
vehicle traffic demand for GO Transit
will be diverted to another station.
The introduction of increased transit
service, more walking and cycling Existing Traffic
facilities, transportation demand
measures and new streets are key to
managing future traffic volumes.
Roadway widths will vary from 2 to 4
lanes wide.

UTILITIES
WATERMAIN NETWORK
Proposed watermain network in the
Primary Study Area – new mains
added along proposed street and
upgrades proposed along existing
streets.
• Thompson Rd. N.: Replace the
300mm main with a 400mm main
(extending the existing 400mm stub
south approximately 500 m);
• Main St. E.: Replace the 300mm
main with a 400mm main
(extending the existing 400mm stub
east approximately 700m);
• Upsize the 150mm Pine St. main
to a 200mm main – approximately
450m;
• Upsize the 150mm Pearl St. main
to a 200mm watermain from
Ontario St. N. to Court St. S. and
the 150mm Court St. S. main to a
200mm main from Pearl St. to Main
The results presented above reflect the network pressures with all of the existing infrastructure – no new mains or upgrades have been considered.
St. E. – approximately 350m.
The results presented above do no consider the system upgrades presented in bullets 1 through 4. They only consider new mains along new streets. When the system
upgrades are considered pressures are slightly higher, but headloss in mains is considerably better.

The existing 300mm sewer upsized to 380mm and the existing 380mm sewer upsized to 450mm. • Ontario St.: Approximately 420m of sewers are recommended as upgrades. The existing sewer is 250mm. • Evergreen Cemetery to Fulton SPS: The sewers would need both slope improvement and size increase for a total length of 175m. The existing sewer is 250mm. • Thompson Rd. S.: A small stretch of sewers would need re-sloping and upsizing for an approximate length of 115m. The existing sewer is 300mm. • Sewers between Fulton St. and Ontario St. N.: Approximately 700m of sewers are recommended as upgrades The existing 675mm sewers upsized to 750mm. • Childs Dr. upstream of Fulton St.: Approximately 525m of sewers are recommended as upgrades. Sewers would need upsizing from the existing 450mm to 500mm and 600mm diameter sewers. R.E. Millward and Associates / Sajecki Planning DTAH / WSP / LURA 21
