Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study
About this project
Oxford County has completed a harmonized Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the Oxford Roads 4 and 15 (Parkinson Road) intersection for improvements to the intersection configuration, traffic operations, and safety.
The Oxford County Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Study (2024) previously recommended upgrades and improvements to the intersection to accommodate anticipated traffic growth over the next 25 years.
The purpose of this study was to:
- Identify and evaluate alternatives to improve the Oxford Road 4 and Oxford Road 15 intersection;
- Select a preferred solution and evaluate a preferred design concept;
- Complete and document the Class EA Study in accordance with the Municipal and Ministry of Transportation provincial documents;
- Engage interested parties and the public; and,
- Meet the County’s vision “to provide a safe, efficient and sustainable multi-model transportation network.”
Study process
The project was completed as a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2024) and a Group “C” MTO Class Environmental Assessment (2024), approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The study addressed the requirements of Phases 1 to 4 of the Municipal Class EA process.
