Coventry Road Widening (Belfast Road to St-Laurent Boulevard) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study
The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to assess the need to widen and/or improve Coventry Road between Belfast Road and St-Laurent Boulevard. The EA study will investigate options to improve travel environment for all modes (walking, cycling, transit, autos and trucks) as appropriate.
The study area is illustrated in the key map below.
This study will:
- Analyze the need and justification for widening Coventry Road to four (4) lanes and by identifying existing and future travel demand;
- Evaluate alternative alignments and options including lane configuration, improved active transportation (pedestrian and cyclist) facilities and access to St-Laurent Transit Station;
- Assess potential impacts to the social, cultural, and natural environment and identify ways to mitigate impacts;
- Prepare a functional design including Class ‘C’ cost estimates and details for implementation; and
- Consult with the general public and stakeholders.
Study Process
The EA study will follow the planning and design process for a Schedule C project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Two Public Open Houses will be held as part of the study. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared at the completion of the study and will be available for a 30-day public review and comment period.
