Friday, March 24, 2017 5 Brooklin Town Crier Brooklin Secondary Plan and Transportation Master Plan Study Notice of Public Information Centre #4 The Study The Town of Whitby is undertaking a comprehensive study to prepare a land use Secondary Plan and Transportation Master Plan to enable the Town to guide and manage growth in the Brooklin area (please refer to the Brooklin Study Map). The purpose of the Secondary Plan is to determine the land use designations for the urban expansion areas north and west of Brooklin, the industrial lands adjacent to the future Highway 407 and the lands in the vicinity of the Conlin Road/Anderson Street intersection, as well as to update the existing Brooklin Community Secondary Plan. The purpose of the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is to determine transportation infrastructure and mobility requirements to support existing and future transportation needs for the Brooklin area. The Brooklin Secondary Plan and Transportation Master Plan are collectively referred to as the "Brooklin Study". Public Information Centre #4 You are invited to attend an afternoon or evening session of the Public Information Centre (PIC) on Wednesday, April 5, 2017. The purpose of this meeting is to present and solicit feedback from the public on the preferred land use plan and draft secondary plan that have been developed. This PIC will provide an opportunity for local residents, land owners and other interested individuals to discuss the Brooklin Study with members of the Study Team. Public input is vital to the success of the study. Date: Wednesday, April 5, 2017 Time: 2:00-5:00 p.m. (afternoon session) 6:00-9:00 p.m. (evening session) Location: Brooklin United Church, 19 Cassels Road East, Brooklin The PIC format will include an open house starting at 2:00 p.m. and again at 6:00 p.m.; at each session there will be a presentation beginning at 3:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 p.m. The preferred land use plan and draft secondary plan are also available on the Town's website at www.whitby.ca/brooklinstudy . A public comment form is on the website for those who wish to provide written comments. The deadline for the submission of comments is April 14, 2017. The Process The Brooklin Study is based on an "integrated approach" as set out in Section A.2.9 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) document, as amended in 2007 & 2011, which combines Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act requirements. As such, this Study will address Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process. The work completed to date as part of the Northwest Brooklin Class EA, the purpose of which was to address concerns regarding Highway 7/12, as well as give consideration to establishing an alternate route for Highway 7/12 so that the Town can gain care and control over Baldwin Street, will be incorporated into the TMP. The Brooklin Study will require extensive public consultation throughout the study process, in accordance with both the Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act, and as directed by Council. The public consultation process includes a Community Advisory Committee, Public Information Centres (PICs) and statutory public meetings. To date, three (3) sets of PICs have been held.
