Notice of Study Completion

Northwest Municipal Services Expansion Environmental Assessments

Oak Park Road Trunk Watermain and Oak Park Road Trunk Sewer

Project Information

The City is undertaking Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Studies to expand the water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure to north of Highway 403, and ultimately to the City’s Northwest Expansion Lands. Due to the overlapping nature and geographic proximity of projects recommended in the Master Serving Plan and Transportation Master Plan, and their combined need to satisfy an optimized servicing strategy, seven (7) individual projects are being completed simultaneously.

The City has completed the Oak Park Road Trunk Watermain and the Oak Park Road Trunk Sewer projects to prioritize the design and construction of the first phase of the water and wastewater infrastructure on Oak Park Road. The City completed these projects as a Schedule B EA under the Municipal Class EA process.
