Tenth Line and Mountain Road EA Addendum
In 2019, the Town of Collingwood filed a Notice of Completion for the Tenth Line and Mountain Road Improvements Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA). The purpose of the Class EA was to examine road and intersection improvements along the Tenth Line, from Sixth Street to Mountain Road (approximately 1.2 km) and along Mountain Road from Cambridge Street to the Tenth Line (approximately 1.3 km) in an effort to address capacity and operational deficiencies and to accommodate future growth. The project study area is depicted in the figure below.
The Preferred Design Option that was selected through the Class EA included the addition of vehicular lanes as well as on-road bicycle facilities for both roads.
Since the Class EA was completed, there have been changes to the guidance and standards for the design of bicycle facilities, which has caused the Town to re-examine and modify the Preferred Design Option.
By way of the Notice of Filing of Addendum, the Town is advising that the Preferred Design Option has been revised to remove the on-road bicycle facilities and, instead, proposes to accommodate active transportation through the incorporation of sidewalks and multi-use paths for both roads.
An Addendum Report has been prepared and contains details of the proposed modifications to the Preferred Design Option. The Addendum Report is being placed on the public record for a 30-day review and comment period. Please note that only the changes proposed by the Addendum are open for review.
