NOTICES
Notice of Study Restart
Western Road and Sarnia Road/Philip Aziz Avenue Improvements
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
In January 2015, the City of London, through its consultant AECOM, initiated the Western Road and Sarnia Road/Philip Aziz Avenue Improvements Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for improvements to Western Road from Platts Lane to Huron University College and Sarnia Road/Philip Aziz Avenue from Coombs Avenue east to the Thames River. In 2016, the project was put on hold when alternatives for transit routes through the study area were being considered as they related to Rapid Transit (RT). As it is related to this project, the northern routes for RT have been deferred and the City has decided to restart this project.
The City of London wants anyone with an interest in the study to have an opportunity to provide input, which will help the project team in the decision-making process. A PIC will be held in the fall of 2021 to present the updated problem/opportunity statement, a review of the study progress, the evaluation of the alternative solutions and project timeline. Another PIC will be held in the spring of 2022 to present the evaluation of alternative design concepts for the preferred solution, in addition to proposed mitigation measures and next steps.
