Notice of Completion: Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Stevenson Rd. N. Corridor

The Study

The City of Oshawa has completed a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study to determine appropriate upgrades to the Stevenson Road North corridor from Taunton Road West to Conlin Road West to address the identified infrastructure deficiencies, anticipated changes in traffic demand, future needs and projected land use. The road upgrades were originally identified in the 2015 City of Oshawa Integrated Transportation Master Plan (ITMP), and an Environmental Assessment was required to re-confirm the need and identify any potential impacts.

Currently, Stevenson Road North is a two-lane rural north-south road, with no paved shoulders or sidewalks, and no existing municipal services. There is an opportunity to significantly improve the overall function of Stevenson Road North by upgrading the roadway infrastructure and municipal services that contribute to the development of adjacent lands and advance economic and job creation opportunities for the City of Oshawa. See a map of the Study Area below.

Environmental Study Report Review Period

The Study was completed in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2023) as a Schedule ‘C’ project.

An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the MCEA process, the evaluation of alternative design concepts, the recommended preliminary design, and the potential impacts associated with the preliminary design and recommended mitigation measures to reduce these impacts. The ESR also provides a record of consultation undertaken throughout the Study.

This Notice places the ESR on the public record for review and comment for thirty (30) calendar days from April 30, 2025 to May 30, 2025. The report can be reviewed on the City’s website, and has been made available at Oshawa City Hall - Service Oshawa (50 Centre St. S., Oshawa, ON L1H 3Z7) from Monday to Friday during regular hours of operation. If you have any accessibility requirements to review the ESR, please contact one of the Project Team members listed in this notice.
