Mersea Road 1 - Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

Introduction

The Municipality of Leamington has retained BT Engineering Inc. to complete a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) (2024) for improvements to Mersea Road 1 in Leamington, Ontario to ensure the roadway has capacity for future planned population growth.

Study Process

The Study is following the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (February 2024) process by establishing the need and justification for the project, considering all reasonable alternatives with acceptable effects on the natural, social and cultural environments, and proactively consulting with the public, stakeholders and Indigenous communities. Upon completion of the Study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and made available publicly for a minimum 30-day review period. The document will detail the planning and consultation process, and the study recommendations and design.
