The County of Essex, in partnership with the Municipality of Lakeshore, has completed a corridor planning study for County Rd. 22 between East Puce Rd. and Belle River Rd.
This is a critical transportation link between the City of Windsor and the municipalities of Tecumseh and Lakeshore. The study evaluates the 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 Rd. 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;
- Mitigating challenges and barriers found along the corridor through design;
- Establishing the timeline for implementation of the preferred alternative; and
- Listening to the public and key stakeholders to address concerns and opportunities.
The County Road 22 Corridor Alternatives and Strategies Study is available for public review until April 15 at the following link:
