Project Summary

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 February 2023. Subject to Capital Budget approval, construction is expected to begin in 2023 and be phased over four 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 Consultant then developed design options for implementing Council's direction as part of Phase 3 of the MCEA process.

A second online PIC was held from August 25, 2022 to September 26, 2022 to obtain public comments on the design options. The Consultant and City staff reviewed the comments received at PIC #2 and arrived at the following recommendation for Council's consideration:

THAT the Environmental Study Report for the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the Laclie Street Reconstruction project be published based on:

  • Constructing/reconstructing City transit bus laybys on Laclie Street between Neywash Street and North Street East only where there is an existing City transit bus stop location.
  • Leaving the angle at which St. Jean Street meets Laclie Street unchanged.
  • Implementing the following for the section of Laclie Street between North Street East and St. Jean Street.
    • A left turn lane for southbound vehicles on Laclie Street approaching North Street East
    • One through lane in each direction 
    • Bike lanes for each direction
  • Implementing Low Impact Development measures on the west side of Laclie Street along the golf course frontage.

On December 7, 2022, City Council adopted the above recommendation. The Environmental Study Report is a document that outlines the process that was followed to arrive at the recommendation. 

The Environmental Study Report is now available for public comments. Comments will be accepted until February 27, 2023. The public notice advising of the report's availability for comment is here: Notice of Completion of MCEA

Comments on the following Environmental Study Report will be accepted until February 27, 2023.
