Great Northern Road and Second Line East Traffic Study

Thursday, January 26, 2023

The City of Sault Ste. Marie has experienced growth at the Great Northern Road/Second Line intersection creating a need to develop a secondary road system to reduce congestion, improve operations, and connect the commercial/industrial areas between Sackville Road, Second Line, Old Garden River Road, Northern Avenue and Great Northern Road.
 
Addressing the road discontinuity presents an opportunity to establish a network of collector roads and associated infrastructure within the area. Potential improvements may include 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.
 
This project is being planned under Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. A key component of the study includes public input into the planning and design of this project. An information session will be held on:

Wednesday, February 1, 2023
Superior Heights Collegiate and Vocational School Cafeteria
750 North Street
4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. (come and go format)
 
Consultants and municipal staff will be available to discuss the Great Northern Road/ Second Line Traffic Network, review alternative solutions and gain input from the public.

For further information on the project contact John McDonald, Project Manager, Principal TULLOCH at 705-949-1457 or email GNRTrafficNetworkEA@tulloch.ca. As the study progresses, future opportunities for public input will be publicized and forwarded to key stakeholders and other interested parties.
