The Study
The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is undertaking a Preliminary Design Study for the reconstruction of King Street East from the Freeport Bridge to Highway 401 and Sportsworld Drive from King Street to Gateway Park Drive in the City of Kitchener. The age and condition of the pavement structure of both roads will require that reconstruction be undertaken within the next five years. The Region’s current Transportation Master Plan does not identify a need to widen either road to provide additional traffic capacity. Improvements being considered also include storm sewer replacement,intersection improvements at the King Street/Sportsworld Drive and King Street/Tu Lane Street intersections, roadway illumination and the construction of cycling facilities. The study is subject to the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.
Public and Stakeholder Comments
The planning of this project will include public and stakeholder consultation to determine potential impacts of the proposed reconstruction of the roadworks. Measures will be implemented to mitigate adverse impacts to the greatest extent possible. Public participation will form an integral part of this study to ensure that the concern’s of the public and affected stakeholders within the study area are identified, documented and assessed. A Public Consultation Centre will be scheduled during the study to solicit input from potentially impacted parties.
Anyone wishing to provide suggestions or comments about this study at this time should do so, preferably in writing, by contacting the Region’s Project Manager. All comments provided during the preparation of this study will become part of the public record.
