The City of Pickering announced that it is currently undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to extend Walnut Lane from the section presently constructed south of Kingston Road, eastward to Liverpool Road (see map below).
The extension is required to service existing, approved and proposed development in the City Centre and Liverpool neighbourhoods and will accommodate all road users (vehicles, public transit, cyclists and pedestrians). Alternatives for crossing Pine Creek are also being considered, said a city statement.
The city said public input is essential to this study. The first Public Information Centre (PIC) was presented in an online format in June 2019 with material available on the city’s Website: www.pickering.ca/walnutlane
There are two ways to participate in PIC #2. All consultations are being held virtually.
1. Join the PIC #2 virtual information meeting (note: registration is required)
There will be a Live Information Meeting held on Thursday, November 19, 2020 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. The project team will provide an overview presentation of the project and will answer your questions. Individuals can participate online or by phone. PIC #2 will present the evaluation of road alignment alternatives and span width options for crossing Pine Creek, including the preliminary recommended design concept and mitigation measures to address potential impacts the project may have.
