Location: Laclie Street from Neywash Street to Murray Street |
|
Project Description The City is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to consider options for the reconstruction of Laclie Street from Neywash Street to Murray Street to meet traffic demands including active transportation. Reconstruction will also provide the opportunity to replace deteriorated underground infrastructure and extend it where necessary. |
|
Budget: $750,000 for MCEA and design work. |
|
Timeline: The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) is anticipated to be completed in the Fall/Winter of 2022. Subject to Capital Budget approval, construction is expected to begin in 2023 and be phased over three years. |

Current Status: Alternative solutions were presented at the April/May 2021 online Public Information Centre (PIC) #1. The Consultant and City staff reviewed the comments received at PIC #1 and arrived at the following recommendation for City Council's consideration: That the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Laclie Street proceed based on reconstructing it to a two lane standard with bus laybys but without bike lanes between Neywash Street and North Street East and to a two or three lane standard with bike lanes but without bus laybys from North Street East to a point between North Street East and St. Jean Street as determined through the next phase of the MCEA process and to a three lane standard with bike lanes but without bus laybys between that point and Murray Street. On November 8, 2021, City Council adopted the above recommendation. The project is now in Phase 3 of the MCEA process. The Consultant has developed design options for implementing Council's direction. A second online PIC was held from August 25, 2022 to September 26, 2022 to obtain public comments on the design options. The consultant is now reviewing the comments received to formulate a recommended design option. |
