The update of the Transportation Master Plan for the Township of Russell is nearing completion . This is an important document, guiding the strategic directions of the transportation network as the Township accommodates mobility for future growth while ensuring a sustainable, accessible, and highly liveable community.
A Public Information Session (PIS) no 2 is being held to present the project and results of activities completed to-date and to solicit public and stakeholder’s feedback on the information presented. The PIS 02 will follow a drop-in format. Project team representatives will be available to answer questions and discuss final steps.
The Process
The Master Plan is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (last amended in February2024), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Master Plan will complete Phases 1 and 2 of the Class EA Process. Projects recommended by the Master Plan requiring additional studies will require project specific Class EA studies outside of the scope of this Master Plan.
The Master Plan process includes public, indigenous and external agency consultation, an evaluation of alternative solutions, an assessment of potential impacts associated with the proposed improvements and development of measures to mitigate identified impacts.
Public Consultation
Public consultation is an integral component of the Class EA process, and we value your input during the planning process. Notices are published in local newspapers, on the Township’s website (www.russell.ca) and distributed to all individuals and agencies who express an interest in this project.
