The City of Burlington has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to reconstruct the intersection of Appleby Line and Harvester Road. The study will address the impacts of the expected increase in traffic volumes over the upcoming years on the intersection operations and surrounding road network. The study area covers a distance of about 1.2 kilometres along Harvester Road, from Zelco Drive to Century Drive, and approximately 300 metres north and south of the intersection on Appleby Line.
This study will be conducted as a Schedule C project, following the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011), which will address phases one through four of the Class EA process. A problem statement will be documented and a number of alternative solutions will be identified, evaluated and presented for public review and comment. The study will result in a preferred solution that minimizes impacts on the natural, social, cultural and economic environments.
Public Consultation
Consultation with the public is a key component of this study. Two Public Information Centres (PIC) were held for the public and interested stakeholders (land owners and regulatory agencies) to review and discuss issues related to the study. Information regarding those sessions is attached in the documents section below.
We welcome any comments or input you may have about this study. Comments and information regarding the study are collected to assist the City of Burlington and Region of Halton in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. This material will be maintained on file for use during the study and may be included in study documentation. Attend a PIC or get in touch with one of the project contacts.
