Notice of Study Commencement: Municipal Class Environmental Assessment For Trunk Road Flooding Mitigation

The Study
The City of Sault Ste Marie has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to identify and evaluate future alternatives to mitigate flooding within the general vicinity of the Trunk Road and Fournier Road intersection in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The subject watercourse extends southerly to the east of Queensgate Boulevard, crossing Queen Street and River Road, where it ultimately discharges to the St. Marys River. Improvements may include additional culverts or increased culvert sizing, the cleanout and reshaping of ditches and channels, the establishment of a flood control channel, and/or the establishment of stormwater management features. An opportunity exists to improve stormwater conveyance and incorporate stormwater management for future infill development projects in the area.
