Introduction
F.2 Alignment of Lisgar Avenue Surface Parking Lot Driveway Entrances Key Urban Design Issue and Ideas: The realignment of the surface parking lot bounded by Bridge Street to the north, Lisgar Avenue to the east, and Harvey Street to the west to allow for an a driveway entrance off of Lisgar Avenue, in alignment with Elgin Street. This reconfiguration would result in a more desirable intersection condition, and would improve the connection between Lisgar Avenue and the pedestrian entrance to the adjacent Shoppers Drug Mart. Transportation Recommendation: The realignment is possible with appropriate regard to the grades of the realigned driveway. However, as the driveway is located within the former landfill area, and as the realignment will require removal of material west of the existing driveway, there will likely be waste management issues to deal with. Because of the location of the methane collection trenches, it would make sense to keep the internal driveway connection to the aisle that links the two parking lots in the same location.
As a component of the Tillsonburg Central Area Design Study, a comprehensive analysis was undertaken to address key transportation issues. The following paragraphs summarize these issues, as well as the resulting transportation planning considerations and recommendations.
