Great Northern Road and Second Line East
Public Information Centre #2
Presentation Materials
The City of Sault Ste. Marie (“City”) has experienced growth around the Great Northern Road/Second Line intersection creating a need to develop a secondary road system to reduce congestion, improve operational issues within the primary road network, and connect the commercial/industrial areas between Sackville Road, Second Line, Old Garden River Road, Northern Avenue and Great Northern Road.
Addressing this problem of road discontinuity presents the opportunity to establish a network of collector roads and associated infrastructure within the Great Northern Road and Second Line area. This includes infrastructure and facility improvements to intersections, transit facilities and alternative transportation modes.
Potential improvements may include, but are not limited to, extending Industrial Park Crescent southerly to Second Line, one or more connections between Sackville Road and Industrial Park, a connection from Great Northern Road easterly through the commercial development to Old Garden River Road, a northerly Pine Street extension, intersection improvements at Great Northern Road and Second Line and an additional connection south of Second Line.
The Corporation of the City of Sault Ste. Marie is planning this project under a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to determine the location of a network of collector roads and associated infrastructure within the Great Northern Road and Second Line area.
