Notice of Study Commencement

Reconstruction of Mallory Beach Road Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

The Study

Planmac Engineering Inc. has been retained by the Town of South Bruce Peninsula to undertake a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and Preliminary Design for the reconstruction of Mallory Beach Road for 3.6 km from County Road 9 to Kathleen Avenue. The location of the site is shown on the attached map. The reconstruction will involve pavement rehabilitation which may consist of surface pulverization and resurfacing of the road surface to ensure an extended life expectancy is achieved.

The Process

The project will be completed in accordance with the approved Schedule ‘A+’ planning process as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Document (October 2000 as amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015), published by the Municipal Engineer’s Association. Topographical and geotechnical survey work is to begin spring/summer 2021.

Public Information Materials will be posted on the Town’s website at a later date to provide an update on the Preliminary Design, Municipal Class EA process and traffic management during construction. A further notice will be sent out to stakeholders and local landowners advising of when the materials will be available and how to provide input and comments. Given the uncertainty with COVID-19, an in-person Public Information Centre will not form part of this study.

Should you have any questions regarding this project or information to aid the design process and/or environmental assessment, please feel free to contact the undersigned. To aid the design and construction, we are also interested in hearing if you have any private water or other utility assets that may be located within the roadway.
