Notice of Study PIC - Northwest Municipal Services Expansion EAs

Notice of Study Public Information Centre

Northwest Municipal Services Expansion Environmental Assessments

 Project Information

The City has initiated Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Studies to expand the water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure to north of Highway 403, and ultimately to the City’s Northwest Expansion Lands. The MCEAs identify and consider alternative solutions for the services expansion. Due to the overlapping nature and geographic proximity of the recommended MSP and TMP projects, and their combined need to satisfy an optimized servicing strategy, the individual projects are being completed simultaneously.

Through the Study process, the City has separated the Oak Park Trunk Sewer project into two with the additional Powerline Road Trunk Sewer (Schedule B) project. The Powerline Road Trunk Sewer was separated into its own project in order to facilitate the design and construction of the first phase of trunk water and wastewater infrastructure on Oak Park Road, which is prioritized in support of development needs. Further, the separation of the Powerline Road Trunk Sewer allows for the sewer alignment alternatives to be reviewed and evaluated in coordination with the Powerline Road Trunk Watermain and Powerline Road Widening projects.

Public Involvement

The City invites businesses, residents, agencies, and interested stakeholders to participate in this planning process and learn more about the planning study through attendance at a Public Information Centre (PIC). This PIC is the first of two (2) PICs for the Northwest Municipal Services Expansion Studies to allow the public the opportunity to share comments and concerns.

The objective of this PIC is summarized in the table below:

Members of the project team will be available at the PIC to answer questions and discuss the study progress to date.
