May 19 - 2023 - Notice of EA Public Consultation Centre

Public Consultation Information
Date: Thursday June 15, 2023
Time: 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Location: Optimist Hall, 1535 Du Parc Avenue, Rockland, ON K4K 1C3

The City of Clarence-Rockland is continuing its work on the environmental assessment needed to address the future requirements of the St-Jean Street/Poupart Road corridor. The corridor presently serves as a primary route that accommodates both local and regional community traffic.

The Public Consultation Centre will present the various alternatives being considered to upgrade the corridor that include corridor widening, roundabout and traffic signal-controlled intersections, roadway alignment and adjacent pedestrian and multi-use pathways. The alternative solutions would then be subject to further review by various technical, environmental, land use and constructability experts.

The study is intended to:

  • conform with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process identified under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act requirements for a Schedule “C” project.
  • address Phase 3 [design alternatives leading to a preferred design option(s)] and Phase 4 (Production of the Environmental Study Report (ESR) document, notification of results and review) of the MCEA process.

The Public Consultation Centre event is intended to generate an exchange of ideas that will broaden the information base leading to better decision making. The public review will be used to further evaluate and refine the alternatives and assist in the selection of the preferred design for a chosen solution. Comments are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project and will be received until Friday July 7th, 2023.

The environmental assessment (EA) process will determine the long-term mobility requirements along the St-Jean Street/Poupart Road corridor.

Your input is important to the success of our study!

We look forward to engaging with you to develop design plans that would be tailored to the requirements of the City of Clarence-Rockland. 

March 10, 2023 - Notice of an Environment Assessment Commencement

The City of Clarence-Rockland is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to address the future requirements of the St. Jean Street-Poupart Road corridor. The corridor presently serves as a primary route that accommodates both local and regional traffic.

The study will:

  • conform with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process identified under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act for a Schedule “C” project.
  • address Phase 3 [design alternatives leading to a preferred design option(s)] and Phase 4 [Production of the Environmental Study Report (ESR) document, notification of results and review] of the MCEA process.

The City of Clarence-Rockland’s Multi-Modal Transportation Master Plan (MMTMP) that was completed in March 2020 has addressed Phase 1 and 2 of the MCEA process, hence, the need and justification for this infrastructure project have been addressed.

The environmental assessment will determine the long-term mobility requirements along the St. Jean Street-Poupart Road corridor. The proposed infrastructure improvement is to include:

  • Widening of the corridor to accommodate 4 travel lanes;
  • Upgrade and/or addition of 4 roundabouts or traffic signal-controlled intersections; and
  • Addition of pedestrian and cycling lanes along the corridor.

The EA will examine a range of alternative solutions and identify and address the various technical, environmental, land use and constructability challenges.

Your input is important to the success of the study. 

We look forward to engaging with you to develop plans tailored to the requirements of the City of Clarence-Rockland. This environmental assessment is an opportunity for public input and consultation; it will include a public open house and several meetings.
