The need for the improvements to Eighth Line has been identified due to the increased population and greater demand on the Town's road network. The Class EA study will evaluate traffic capacity, travel demand management measures, safety issues, natural environment impacts, land use implications, transit and active transportation considerations. To address transportation capacity needs in the study area, alternatives will be examined as part of the study including the impacts of alternatives on the social, cultural and natural environment. The Process This notice signals the commencement of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, a study which will define the problem, identify and evaluate alternative solutions, and develop a preferred design for the corridor in consultation with adjacent property owners, regulatory agencies, indigenous communities, members of the local business community and the public. The study is being carried out in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule C projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Consultation with Stakeholders (public, indigenous communities and agencies) is a key component of the study. Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held to discuss issues related to the Project, including alternative solutions, evaluation criteria, alternative designs, environmental impacts and mitigation measures. PIC dates and details will be advertised as the study progresses. The first PIC is currently planned for Fall 2019. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and made available for public review and comment.
