Environmental Assessment for the Livingston Ave. Extension
All Niagara Region projects
About the Project
Niagara Region has completed a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the Livingston Ave. Extension between Main St. W. to Livingston Ave. (west of Emily St.) in Grimsby.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study was to assess the need for additional east-west transportation system capacity and identify alternative solutions in the west portion of Grimsby. The alternatives considered included:
- Improvements to Main St. W. (Regional Rd. 81)
- Improvements to the South Service Rd. (Regional Rd. 40)
- The extension of Livingston Ave. (Regional Rd. 512)
- Intersection improvements
- New infrastructure to facilitate walking and cycling
The environmental assessment was to address concerns with the east-west roadway capacity identified in the Transportation Master Plan as a result of the planned growth in Grimsby.
