This extension of Third Line was identified as part of the North Oakville West Secondary Plan. Philips Engineering Ltd. has been retained by the Town of Oakville to complete the study. The study will consider, evaluate and detail alternatives for the extension of Third Line. The study is being conducted in compliance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. A key component of the study will be consultation with interested stakeholders (public and regulatory agencies) including two Public Information Centres (PICs). The PICs will provide stakeholders with an opportunity to meet with the project team, review the study scope and discuss issues related to the project including alternative solutions, environmental considerations and evaluation criteria. Details regarding the forthcoming PICs will be advertised as the study progresses. We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns that you may have about this study. Comments and information regarding the study are being collected to assist the Town of Oakville in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. This material will be maintained on file for use during the project and may be included in project documentation.
