Niagara Region conducted the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to assess the improvements needed for key transportation routes in the vicinity of the future Grimsby GO Transit station.

The study built on the work done as part of the Grimsby Secondary Plan and Niagara Region's Transportation Master Plan.

The Environmental Study Report identified the following improvements for the Casablanca corridor:

• Casablanca Boulevard at Livingston Avenue
• Casablanca Boulevard at Main Street West
