Courtice roads being extended to ready for GO train station

The Municipality of Clarington planning extensions of Meadowglade Road to Courtice Road (Regional Road 34) and Farmington Drive to the future Townline Road extension to accommodate the traffic, transit, and active transportation demands anticipated from the planned developments in the area.

Both road extensions were identified in the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan Study and the ongoing Courtice Transit-Oriented Community and GO Station Secondary Plan Study, said a municipal statement.

The municipality, in partnership with the Southeast Courtice Landowner’s Group, is initiating a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for the extensions.

The municipality said the EA study will identify and evaluate alternative alignments and develop a preferred conceptual design for the two road extensions in consultation with adjacent property owners, regulatory agencies, indigenous communities, members of the local business community and the public.

“Community consultation is essential to this study. We encourage you to attend the in-person Public Information Centre (PIC) to learn more about the study and review and comment on the study findings, alternative alignments and their evaluation and recommendations,” the statement said.

The meet will be held on June 22 from 6:30 to 8 pm at South Courtice Arena, 1595 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, ON L1E 2P1.

Residents are asked to provide comments and questions by July 7. Once the study is complete, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and made available for public review and comment, the municipality said.
