Notice: Municipal Class Environmental Assessment: Grey Road 19

The Study

Following a recent Traffic Study, Grey County (County) has identified the need to widen Grey Road 19 between Grey Road 21/ Mountain Road and Grey Road 119/ Gord Canning Drive to meet the needs of increased traffic demand. The County is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to consider options for improvements, with consideration for active transportation.  The site location and approximate extent of the Study Area are shown on the map.

Alternative solutions for improvements include:

1. Do Nothing
2. Widen to 4 lanes
3. Widen to 4 lanes with active transportation

The Process

The Study will follow Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Municipal Engineers Association, October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, & 2015), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.  The study will evaluate alternative solutions and design alternatives with consideration of the natural, cultural, technical and financial environment and recommend a preferred solution in consultation with the public, Indigenous communities and agencies. At the conclusion of the Study, the process will be documented in an Environmental Study Report (ESR), prepared for public review.
