Powerline Road Transportation Capacity Environmental Assessment Notice of PIC 1
Project Information
The City of Brantford (City) has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment study (Study) for improvements to Powerline Road, from Paris Road to the east municipal boundary.
Powerline Road is forecast to experience significant growth in traffic volumes over the coming years that will result in the majority of Powerline Road approaching or exceeding capacity during the future 2051 planning horizon. This Study will identify and evaluate alternative solutions and design concepts to address transportation capacity constraints along Powerline Road to accommodate future growth to 2051.
The Study will investigate opportunities to enhance traffic safety, improve multi-modal transportation infrastructure (including active transportation), assess intersection configuration and specifications (including potential roundabouts), improve City and inter-regional traffic operations, and support new growth in the expansion lands.
Study Area
Public Involvement
The City invites the public, governing agencies, stakeholders, businesses, and First Nations to participate in this planning process and learn more about this study by attending a Public Information Centre (PIC). This will be the first of two PICs for this study. The objective of this PIC will be to present the planning process, summary of existing site conditions, proposed alternative solutions, identify the recommended technically preferred alternative solution(s) and provide an opportunity for attendees to share comments and concerns pertaining to the study. Members of the project team will be available at the PIC to answer questions and discuss the study.
