Florence Avenue Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
The Township of Ramara is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to evaluate alternatives and identify a preferred solution for the development of a new municipal cul-de-sac at the southern end of Florence Avenue.
Project Timing and Overview
The study has been initiated in response to deficiencies associated with the existing road configuration, which does not meet current Township or County standards for roadway design, emergency vehicle access, and municipal service operations. Operational concerns have also been identified regarding waste collection services, as the existing turnaround arrangement does not adequately accommodate service vehicles.
Through the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, the Township will evaluate alternative solutions, consider environmental and community impacts, and identify a preferred option to improve safety, accessibility, and municipal service delivery.
Information and Notices
The Township is committed to providing opportunities for public participation throughout the study process. Public consultation will include project notices, opportunities for review and comment, and a Public Information Centre (PIC). Residents, property owners, Indigenous Communities, agencies, and other interested parties are encouraged to participate and provide input as the study progresses.
