Town of Kingsville, Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study
The Town of Kingsville (Town) has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to meet long-term transportation needs within the community. This study involved the extension of Heritage Road to Road 2 West, two local road connecting links, and intersection improvements (see map). The improvements align with the Town of Kingsville Transportation Master Plan recommendations, to provide a safe and accessible multi-modal transportation network that will accommodate future growth and development within the Town.
The study was completed in accordance with the requirements of Schedule ‘C’ projects as outlined in the Municipal Class EA document (2000, as amended), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
An Environmental Study Report (ESR) summarizing the study process and recommendations will be made available for public review for 30 calendar days from April 18, 2024 to May 18, 2024 on the Town of Kingsville’s West Side Collector Road project on HaveYourSayKingsville.ca.

Requests on other grounds will not be considered. Requests should include the requester contact information and full name for the ministry.
