Transit Garage and Offices
Relocation of Sault Transit Garage and Administration Offices
The Study
The City of Sault Ste Marie has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the feasibility of relocating the Sault Transit maintenance garage and administrative offices from the current location at 111 Huron Street to the Public Works Centre at 128 Sackville Road. The relocation would not affect existing transit routes or parabus operations.
The Process
The project is being planned as a Schedule C project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.
A key component of the study will be consultation with interested stakeholders (public and review agencies). A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held this fall, at a date to be announced, to present the alternatives and to consult with interested parties on the project, the environmental impacts of the potential relocation and the identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any adverse impacts.
Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report will be prepared for public review and comment.
How to Get Involved
