Meaningful public and stakeholder consultation is important in shaping the outcome of these studies.
The Project Team has developed a consultation program that will:
Provide stakeholders with access to study information in a timely manner that enables them to provide input and participate in a meaningful way.
Engage the broader community and give consideration to all input and differing points of view.
Promote a cooperative and productive consultation environment that recognizes the value of dialogue and that everyone may not agree with every decision.
The consultation program will be ongoing during the Preliminary Design and Class EA process and will include meetings, as required, with municipal staff and Council, emergency service providers, regulatory agencies, transit operators, Indigenous communities and directly impacted members of the public.
Two Public Information Centres (PIC) are planned for each study (four in total) to provide interested individuals with the opportunity to learn more about the study process and provide feedback directly to the Project Team. The purpose of the first PIC will be to introduce the study, present the challenges and opportunities, the alternatives under consideration, and to generally gather feedback to inform the study process. The purpose of the second PIC will be to present design and study updates since PIC #1 including the short list of interchange alternatives and their evaluation and the preliminary Recommended Plan. Information presented at each PIC will be available for review on the Consultation Page of this website.
The final notification for this undertaking will be to advise of the filing of the Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) for the 30-day public comment period. A TESR will be developed for each study and will document the process completed and provide additional opportunity for interested persons to provide input.
Members of the Project Team are available throughout this process to provide information and receive feedback. This dialogue is key to meeting our study principles of transparency, openness, traceability, timeliness and accountability. You can contact a member of the Project Team through the “Contact Us” section of the website for inquiries or to ask to be added to the study mailing list.
All input will be incorporated into the study findings and recommendations as appropriate.
