Background

York Region is responsible for monitoring growth in its transportation network and implementing required infrastructure in a timely manner. As such, the Region’s transportation and roadway management strategies have identified future road network needs in the area of the 16^th Avenue corridor, between Yonge Street and York-Durham Line. The Region’s latest approved 10-year Roads Construction Program has scheduled the implementation of works on 16^th Avenue staged over different construction years, which are subject to change.

To further assess network needs within the 16^th Avenue corridor, York Region retained iTRANS Consulting Inc. in July 2005 to carry out the 16^th Avenue Class Environmental Assessment. The iTRANS team consists of a team of multi-discipline leading specialists. These include natural environment, heritage and archaeology, socio-economic, noise, hydrogeology and storm water management, structural engineering, geotechnical, illumination, and surveys. The study will allow for a comprehensive assessment of the potential impacts of alternatives.

Completion of this Class Environmental Assessment is part of the process to enable the Region to address both the short-term and long-term infrastructure needs for the 16^th Avenue corridor.
