About the Project

The Environmental Assessment will compare design options for infrastructure improvements in the study area. It will consider costs, potential disruption and technical challenges to identify a preferred approach.

The study will be completed in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process, satisfying Phases 1 and 2.

Following completion of the study, the City will move forward with the design of improvements to storm sewers, sanitary sewers, watermains, sidewalks, curbs, and roadways. 

Project Updates

The City and its consultant are working through the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. This includes consultation with residents, utilities, Indigenous groups, and federal, provincial and regional agencies.

Get Involved

Residents, businesses and other interested parties are encouraged to provide feedback throughout the study. Questions, comments and concerns can be directed to Customer Service.

One Public Information Centre is planned. Details will be posted on this page when available.

Additional notices will be posted on the City’s website, advertised in local newspapers, and mailed or emailed to potentially affected residents, businesses and other stakeholders.
