This study is following the approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ project under the MTO Class EA for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Group B projects involve major improvements to provincial transportation facilities. Two Public Information Centres (PIC) are planned at key milestones during this process. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared at the close of Preliminary Design to document the study process including the evaluation of alternatives, the Preferred Plan, and a summary of commitments to future work. Upon completion of this study, the TESR will be placed on the public record for a 30-day public review period. Notifications advising of the PICs and the availability of the TESR during the 30-day comment period will be advertised in local newspapers and sent to the project mailing list.
There is an opportunity at any time during the study for interested persons to provide input to the Project Team including comments and information regarding the study. If you have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact a member of the Project Team through the “Contact Us” section of the website.
