NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT
| THE PROJECT: The City of Sarnia is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process to extend Wellington Street from 1569 Wellington Street to Blackwell Side Road. It was determined through the Secondary Plan process that an Arterial Road extension to the east of Wellington Street is required to provide access to vacant lands designated for future residential and mixed-use developments. A number of design alternatives will be investigated for the extension of Wellington Street. The design alternatives include multi-modal transportation considerations with options on where the extension would connect to Wellington Street to the west, cross Porter Creek and intersect with Blackwell Side Road. | |
| THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING PROCESS: The planning for this project is following the environmental planning process set out for Schedule C activities under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. The purpose of this process is to identify potential environmental impacts associated with the project and to plan for the appropriate mitigation of any impacts. This process includes consultation with the public, stakeholders, First Nation and Métis communities, and government review agencies. |
