Class Environmental Assessment

This Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study is following the approved environmental planning process for Group “B” projects under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). There will be opportunity for public input throughout the project.

The study will include two rounds of Public Information Centres (PICs). The purpose of the PICs is to provide opportunities for two-way communication about the existing conditions, generation of alternatives and next steps (PIC # 1); and at PIC # 2 the evaluation of the alternatives and the selection of the technically preferred alternative will be presented. Notices providing the information about the PICs will be published in local newspapers (Peterborough This Week and Kawartha Lakes This Week), mailed to stakeholders on the study mailing list, and posted on this website.

Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared to document the existing conditions, study process and consultation conducted. The TESR will be made available for a public review, and a copy will be posted on the Reports section of this website.

A flow chart describing the process. Steps: 1) Study Commencement (Fall 2020) 2) Review existing conditions 3) Identify Needs and Justification 4) Generate and Evaluate Different Ways to Address the Issues (Planning Alternatives) 5) Generate and Evaluate Different Intersections Alternatives (Public Information Centre #1 - January 2021) 6) Examine Intersection Alternatives 7) Develop Preferred Intersection Alternative (Public Information Centre #2 - Date to be determined) 8) Identify Environmental Impacts and Proposed Mitigation Measures 9) Prepare and File the Transportation Environmental Study report (TESR) (30-day Review of TESR)
