Gordon Street and Clair/Laird Road Class Environmental Assessment

As part of this project, we’re studying how to design the roads people will rely on as part of their everyday lives. This includes widening three arterial roads from two to four lanes, as well as enhancing the cross section to support all road users. 

Based on recommendations in the Clair Maltby Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) and the Transportation Master Plan (TMP), this project includes a Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment for the study area of Gordon Street, from Clair Road to Maltby Road; Clair Road, from Victoria Road to Laird Road; and, Laird Road, from Clair Road to Highway 6. The study will follow the processes outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) document, last updated in 2024.

This phase of work included the project initiation as well as the collection of background data in the field and from previous work completed in the area, notably the Clair Maltby Secondary Plan, Master Environmental Servicing Plan, and Comprehensive Environmental Impact Studies.

This project is being completed as a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, 2023 and 2024). In developing recommendations, the study will consider technical, economic, cultural heritage, social and natural environmental factors.
