The Town of Collingwood has initiated a Schedule B Municipal Class Assessment (the Study) to develop alternative solutions to address drainage deficiencies related to surface water flooding of municipal roads surrounding the Highway 26 corridor between Princeton Shores Boulevard and Silver Creek Drive (see Study Area below). The existing drainage features in the assessment study area include watercourses, ditches, bridges and road crossing culverts. Please note that additional property may be required to implement some drainage solutions. The Town has retained the consulting firm Tatham Engineering Limited to complete the Study.
Study Process
The Study is being completed in accordance with the process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (February 2024). This Study is being undertaken to develop alternative solutions to address drainage deficiencies and identify the solutions for implementation which best address the drainage concerns while minimizing natural, physical, social, cultural and economic impacts. Subject to the successful completion of this study, the Town of Collingwood plans to implement the recommended drainage solutions subject to future Council budget approvals.
Consultation
A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be scheduled in the future to provide an opportunity for the public and stakeholders to provide input and comments regarding the Study. Additional notices indicating the date and location of the PIC will be published in future. Public, Indigenous Community and Agency consultation is a key component of this study. It provides an opportunity for affected or interested stakeholders to exchange information and influence decision making.
