Background
The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is undertaking a Schedule “C” Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for improvements to the Bleams Road (Regional Road 56) corridor from Strasburg Road to Fischer-Hallman Road in the City of Kitchener. Improvements along Bleams Road (Regional Road 56) are being considered to improve active transportation facilities, as well as traffic capacity and operations to meet projected growth, along the corridor.
The 2011 Regional Transportation Master Plan (RTMP) and 2018 RTMP Update have identified this section of Bleams Road for widening from 2 to 4 lanes. In addition, the Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) has identified this road section for the installation of a boulevard Multi-Use Trail (MUT).
The Process
The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (Last Amended 2010).
This is the First Public Consultation Centre and the Project Team will be presenting the needs and opportunities for improvements on Bleams Road, as well as alternative solutions, to the public and will be seeking input. This Public Consultation Centre is designed to provide interested members of the public, local businesses, community, and agencies the opportunity to meet the project team, get an update on the project work completed to date, and discuss project issues.
