Ninth Line Environmental Assessment Class Study

This Class EA Study considered the City’s planning principle to build a multi-modal city, which will support a successful, vibrant and active community with a reliance on a range of transportation modes including walking, cycling, transit and vehicles.

The study was conducted as a ‘Schedule C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Public participation was an important part of the Class EA process. Throughout the study, the City made contact with various agencies and members of the community, and considered their opinions as part of the recommended preliminary design.
