Study
Purpose The purpose of this study is to complete an individual Environmental Assessment (iEA) to address existing and future anticipated transportation capacity deficiencies within the Region of Durham and to determine the transportation needs from a Provincial perspective. The Province, Region, and local municipalities that comprise the Region have recognized that major deficiencies exist within the transportation system in Durham, negatively affecting the movement of people and goods. As the community grows, traffic conditions will continue to deteriorate unless additional east-west and north-south system capacity is provided. In addition to recognized system constraints in Durham, there are existing and anticipated capacity constraints on key linkages between Durham and communities to the west (GTA) and east, including the City of Kawartha Lakes and the Counties of Northumberland and Peterborough and the City of Peterborough. The work associated with the EA will build upon and include a review of recent transportation planning work undertaken in the Region, including, but not limited to, work associated with the Region of Durham Transportation Master Plan (TMP), approved by Regional Council in 2003. This work will fulfill all the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), as required. |
