The Study

The Study: The Regional Municipality of Peel, along with the County of Wellington and Town of Halton Hills is carrying out a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study of Winston Churchill Boulevard from 1200m south of Ballinafad Road/32nd Sideroad to Olde Base Line Road. The Study is required to address potential improvements to Winston Churchill Boulevard.

The Process

The Study is being carried out in accordance with Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000). Upon completion of the Study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be filed and placed on public record. Notification regarding the completion and availability of the ESR will be provided at a later date.

At the first Public Information Centre (PIC) for the original limit held in September 2006, the needs and justification for the possible improvements to the existing corridor of the original Study limits were presented along with an evaluation of potential impacts on the natural and social environment. The second PIC was held in June 2007 when the Study team prepared alternative design solutions, which presented the preferred design alternative for public review and comment. Following PIC #2, the design was re-examined based on comments provided. A final PIC will be held to inform the public of the design changes to further mitigate impacts and to review the northerly extension. These improvements would not be for the purpose of accommodating truck traffic and, in any event, Winston Churchill is not part of the haul route being proposed as part of the Rockfort Quarry application.
