Modal Elements <br />There are currently few modal conflicts along County Road 116. Presently there are no railroad, <br />light rail, or major trucking facilities located in or adjacent to the corridor. The only transit <br />service in the study area is provided along CSAH 7 (7th Avenue). This route intersects with <br />County Road 116, but does not provide service along County Road 116. However, County Road <br />116 may be studied in a future transit plan as a potential transit route. <br />Although there are limited modal options on County Road 116, there is an off-street bituminous <br />trail running alongside County Road 116 for a large portion of the study area. Separating the <br />trail from the roadway reduces potential conflicts between modes (walking, biking, etc.). The <br />location of the trail also reinforces the need to limit access along the corridor in order to <br />minimize potential conflicts between trail users and vehicles using access points. The trail <br />serves primarily as a recreational corridor; however, it is an option for home to work trips. The <br />trail alternates from one side of County Road 116 to the other at different points along the <br />corridor thereby introducing the need for several crossings. This increases the exposure/conflicts <br />between pedestrians and vehicles. <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. - 22 - February 2004 <br />
