The Town of Gravenhurst is proposing to expand the existing North Morrison Lake Road Parking Lot and a study’s been started to consider the impacts it may have.
The proposed improvements include increasing the available parking by increasing the existing parking lot area, plus associated improvements to stormwater drainage.
The Town is proceeding with a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to consider the impacts associated with the proposed improvements.
The Class EA process will include the following:
- Identify the problem and alternative solutions;
- For each alternative, consider potential impacts to the noted environments and possible mitigating measures;
- Public and agency consultation and participation;
- Evaluate the alternatives based on the project objectives, environmental impacts and comments provided; and,
- Identify a preferred solution, document the process in a Project File and make available for public review and comment.
The purpose of this notice is to invite public and agency input and comment early in the study such that they can be incorporated into the planning and overall study design. Comments should be directed to the Consultant as noted below.
A further opportunity for public input and comment will be provided at an upcoming Public Information Centre (PIC) during which time the various alternative solutions and assessment of each will be presented.
