| Project Summary |
|
Location: Laclie Street from Neywash Street to Murray Street |
|
Budget: $750,000 |
|
Timeline: The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of 2022. Construction is expected to begin in 2023 and be phased over three years. |
|
Current Status: The Consultant and City staff reviewed the comments received at the April/May 2021 Public Information Centre (PIC) 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 will develop alternative design concepts for implementing Council's direction. For example, alternative design concepts for the addition of bike lanes north of North Street East may involve:
A PIC will be held to obtain public comments on the alternative design concepts. That PIC is expected to be held in the first quarter of 2022. The time and date of the PIC will be advertised in the Orillia Today newspaper and also via a letter to all property owners adjacent to the project and all those who provided comments during the first PIC in April/May of 2021. |
