Joint Notice of Study Commencement and Online Public Information Centre (PIC)
Addendum to the Bradley Avenue Extension - Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA)
The new Mobility Transportation Master Plan for London - 2030 Transportation Master Plan: SmartMoves, identified the need for extension of Bradley Avenue, from Bostwick Road east to White Oak Road and the associated improvements to Bradley Avenue from White Oak Road to Jalna Boulevard (West leg), to manage continued growth in the city’s southwest. In 2005, the City completed a MCEA that recommended a preferred alignment for Bradley Avenue from White Oak Road to Bostwick Road. The study did not include the associated improvements of Bradley Avenue from White Oak Road easterly to Jalna Boulevard (West Leg). The associated improvements will allow for continuous vehicle, cyclist, and pedestrian infrastructure along the Bradley Avenue corridor. As the need for these improvements has been confirmed, the City is completing an Addendum to the 2005 MCEA to include Bradley Avenue between White Oak Road and Jalna Boulevard (West Leg) in the project. The previously approved recommendations for Bradley Avenue from White Oak Road to Wharncliffe Road South will not be reconsidered.
This study is being undertaken as an Addendum to the 2005 MCEA in accordance with the process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association’s MCEA document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held on November 19, 2020 in an online format. The PIC material will be available online for two weeks. The Online PIC will present the project, investigations and recommendations for the study area. https://getinvolved.london.ca/bradley-ave
A Notice of Filing of Addendum will be provided upon completion of the study and will be made available for public review for a 30-day period. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the city intends to proceed with detailed design and construction.
Comments or concerns can be directly sent to the project website or feel free to contact Michelle Morris, City of London, Tel: 519-661-2489 ext. 5806, Email: mmorris@london.ca or Felix Wong, Wood, Tel: 905-335-2353, Email: felix.wong@woodplc.com
Arva Pumping Station to Huron Street Transmission Main
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Master Plan
Notice of Public Information Centre
The City of London (City) has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) master plan study to develop short and long-term maintenance and improvement/expansion plans for the Arva Huron transmission main between the Arva Pumping Station and Huron Street. This study includes an assessment of the potential need to maintain and/or widen the existing transmission main easement to continue ongoing monitoring of the condition of the transmission main and/or for potential maintenance, repair or replacement of the existing transmission main. Long term considerations include evaluating alternative options for routing the transmission main between the Arva Pumping Station and Huron Street in total or for specific sections for improvement or expansion purposes. The routing options to be investigated will address long-term transmission capacity needs and provide for water system redundancy. The Class EA process will examine a full range of alternatives and identify a preferred strategy for addressing the project needs. The project will include extensive public and agency consultation and the completion of Master Plan Project File report. 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. In order to comply with social distancing requirements for COVID-19 the City will be holding a Virtual Online Public Information Centre scheduled for November 25, 2020, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. To register for this PIC please send an email to Paul.adams2@aecom.com. The presentation and other materials presented during the PIC will also be made available on the City’s project webpage, https://london.ca/projects/arva-pumping-station-huron-street-water-transmission-main-master-plan. Comments from review agencies and members of the public are encouraged now and throughout the study. To submit a comment, request information or to be added to the study mailing list you can contact:
