Hello Ward 8 Neighbours,
The City of Hamilton has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to address transportation challenges along Upper Wellington Street (Limeridge Road to Stone Church Road). A virtual Public Information Centre will take place June 8th at 6pm.
For more details, please continue reading below…
As we informed you back in February, an Environmental Assessment was undertaken over the past few months looking for improvements between Limeridge Road West & Stone Church Road East along Upper Wellington.
The current Environmental Assessment study is building on the recommendations of the South Mountain Area Transportation Master Plan (2000; reviewed in 2006) and City of Hamilton Transportation Master Plan (2007; reviewed and updated in 2018), which identified the need for road widening improvements within the study area. These previously completed planning studies satisfied the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for these improvements.
The current study will confirm the problem/opportunity statement, and confirm the road cross-section, number and location of travel and turning lanes, traffic control requirements, intersection design elements and improvements, and active transportation requirements. Later stages of the study will include identification and evaluation of alternative designs, and identification of a recommended design. More information can be accessed here.
While the City continues assessing the area, they are inviting residents to take part in their Virtual Information Centre on June 8th. Pre-registration is required. More details on the June 8th meeting can be found here.
The City is also inviting residents to review the material anytime through its project website, available here.
