Online Consultation: Regional Road 25 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study


About the project

Study overview

To improve network connectivity and address forecasted travel demand along Regional Road 25 from Speers Road to Derry Road (Regional Road 7), the Region is considering a wide range of improvements, such as:

  •   Widening the roadway
  •   Cross-sectional requirements to accommodate multi-modal travel
  •   Active transportation
  •   Transit supportive infrastructure
  •  Intersection improvements
  •   Overall traffic operations and safety
  •   The impact of such improvements on the social, cultural and natural environments

The study is being conducted in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule C projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (external link) (October 2000, as amended 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, RSO. 1990.

The online consultation for Public Information Centre #1 took place between October 12 and November 9, 2023. The presentation and transcript are available on the MCEA project page.
