The County of Essex – in partnership with the Municipality of Lakeshore – is doing a corridor planning study for County Road 22 between East Puce Road and Belle River Road.
This is a critical transportation link between the City of Windsor and the municipalities of Tecumseh and Lakeshore. The intent of the study is to evaluate options to improve the corridor to address the current and future traffic needs and demands, and support the previously developed vision of the corridor.
More specifically, the project is being undertaken to achieve the following objectives:
- Build on previous studies such as the County Road 22 Environmental Study, Corridor Transformation Study, the County Wide Active Transportation Study and others;
- Reflect the unique urban and rural needs and surroundings of the corridor;
- Design a corridor that aligns with wider county and municipal objectives, including a more dense, active and environmentally responsible community with commercial opportunity;
- Undertaking a well-documented and responsive project process that addresses municipal class environmental assessment requirements;
- Mitigates challenges and barriers found along the corridor through design;
- Establishes the timeline for implementation of the preferred alternative; and
- Listens to the public and key stakeholders to address concerns and opportunities.
The County of Essex has hired WSP Consultants to investigate alternatives for this section of County Road 22.
