Notices are expected to be issued shortly to the public and stakeholders for the Public Information Centre No. 2 which will review the progress made since the Public Information Centre No. 1 and provide an opportunity to review and comment on the identified preferred solution, the associated impacts and mitigation measures as well as anticipated timelines for construction.

Public input and comment are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project. Comments received from the public will be considered in the development of the final detailed design concept.

Niagara Region has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment to evaluate and recommend transportation improvements along King Street (Regional Road 81), from Greenlane to Lincoln Avenue. As part of the study a number of environmental reports were completed.

When the design alternatives being considered were reviewed, the option that made the least changes to the existing road platform width while still addressing drainage, safety and road condition, was chosen as the preferred environmentally and financially feasible solution. As a result, this project will be completed as a Schedule “B” of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, due to the proposed reduced scope of construction and reduced impacts to the environment.
