North Halton Coordinated Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study, Town of Milton/ Town of Halton Hills PR-3430, PR3390, PR3381

Study

Halton Region’s Transportation Master Plan – The Road to Change identified the need for additional capacity in North Halton to improve network connectivity and address forecasted travel demand to 2031. Halton Region is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study to consider a range of options for corridor improvements on:

• James Snow Parkway from Britannia Road to Highway 401 (Milton)
• Steeles Avenue from Regional Road 25 to Trafalgar Road (Milton/Halton Hills)
• Regional Road 25 from 5 Side Road 10 Side Road (Halton Hills)

A wide range of multi-modal transportation improvements will be considered for the corridors including roadway widening, cross-sectional requirements, active transportation, transit supportive infrastructure, intersection improvements, over-all traffic operations, as well as the impact of such improvements on the social, cultural and natural environments.

Process

The study will be carried out in accordance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA), (October 2000, as amended 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2023), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Public and review agency consultation is a key element of the MCEA process and input will be sought at key milestones throughout this study. Details regarding upcoming Public Information Centres (PIC) will be advertised as the study progresses. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and placed on the public record for a minimum 30-day review period. The document will detail the planning and consultation process and the preferred alternative for each corridor.

Comments

Comments received through the course of the study will be considered and documented in the MCEA Study Report. For more information on the study and consultation process, please visit the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Studies page on halton.ca.
