Background
The Region of Waterloo is undertaking a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for improvements to the Fischer-Hallman Road / Bearinger Road (Regional Road 58) corridor from Columbia Street West to Westmount Road North in the City of Waterloo. Improvements on Fischer-Hallman Road / Bearinger Road (Regional Road 58) are being considered to provide road improvements for traffic growth and active transportation improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit along the corridor.
The 2018 Regional Transportation Master Plan Update has identified the need to widen Fischer-Hallman / Bearinger Road to 4-lanes and add active transportation improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit between Columbia Street West and Westmount Road North.
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 Fischer-Hallman Road / Bearinger 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.
