The City of Sault Ste. Marie (City) completed a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) in 2012 to address traffic capacity concerns in the Great Northern Road corridor, between Second Line and Third Line. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) was filed in early 2012 documenting the EA process and presenting the preferred recommended solution: construct an extension of Sackville Road to Third Line. Following the completion of the EA, the construction of the extension has been delayed due to budget constraints and the prioritization of other projects within the community.
Since it has been more than 10 years following the completion of the EA, the City has prepared this Addendum to the ESR to ensure that the preferred recommended solution remains valid, and that changes within the study area have not impacted the recommendations of the EA. The Addendum has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA).
