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.
