TOWN OF LASALLE <br />NOTICE OF PROJECT INITIATION <br />MALDEN ROAD <br />Transportation, Public Safety, & Urban Design Improvement Project <br />The Town of LaSalle and the County of Essex have initiated a <br />Transportation, Public Safety, and Urban Design Improvement <br />Project for the Malden Road corridor, which will establish <br />sustainable integrated strategies that consider all modes of <br />travel (automobiles, transit, cycling, walking), while continuing to <br />develop the Town’s vision of “Liveable Neighbourhoods and <br />Healthy Communities”. Dillon Consulting Limited has been <br />retained to assist the Town & the County in this undertaking. <br />The problem and opportunities that are identified must <br />incorporate and apply the community design principles as set <br />forth in the Town’s “LaSalle Greenway” initiative, and must <br />ensure that the preferred design properly balances and <br />promotes the needs of pedestrian, cyclist, transit and vehicular <br />traffic along the Malden Road Corridor. The goal of the study is <br />to establish: <br /> a comprehensive and effective set of preferred public safety, <br />traffic and public realm improvements that need to be made <br />within the Malden Road transportation corridor, including the <br />Malden Town Centre, in order to meet the evolving needs of <br />existing and future LaSalle residents for a twenty-year <br />planning horizon; and <br /> an implementation strategy for the Malden Road <br />transportation corridor that is fiscally and environmentally <br />responsible; enhances public safety for motorized and non- <br />motorized forms of transportation; promotes and facilitates <br />healthy and active lifestyles; properly addresses on-going <br />municipal servicing requirements; and is capable of <br />retaining/attracting businesses, services and residents as <br />part of a vibrant, attractive and safe Malden Town Centre. <br />This study is being conducted in accordance with the <br />requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment <br />(October 2000, as amended 2007), which is a public process for <br />municipal infrastructure projects under the Environmental <br />Assessment Act. The project is being planned as a Schedule ‘C’ <br />project and will include assessing alternatives to road <br />improvements, identification and evaluation of alternative <br />improvement concepts, preliminary design of the preferred <br />solution, and completion and filing of an Environmental Study <br />Report. <br />A key component of the study is consultation with interested <br />stakeholders including the public, interest groups and regulatory agencies through two Public <br />Information Centres (PICs). The PICs, which will be publicly advertised and held at key points during <br />the study, will provide opportunities for public input and presentation of study findings to date. <br />If you require additional information related to the study or wish to be added to the study mailing list, <br />please contact either of the following: <br />Mr. L.
