Project Update
North Bay, ON – December 10, 2024 – The City of North Bay is proceeding with the detailed design
recommended in the Schedule C, Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) completed in December
2012 as follows:
• Widen road to three lanes (eastbound, westbound and center turn lane).
• Travel lanes will be 3.75m wide and the center turn lane will be 3.25m wide.
• The center turn Lane will transition to dedicated eastbound and westbound left turn lanes at the
   Seymour/Commerce/Venture intersection.
• The Seymour/Commerce/Venture intersection will be widened and large curb radius used to accommodate
   truck turning movements.
• Traffic lights including pedestrian crossing at the Seymour/Commerce/Venture intersection.
• 120m of reinforced retaining wall including handrail will be installed on the north side of Seymour Street
   from Commerce westerly to provide support to widened road, boulevard and sidewalk.
• Paved shoulders on the North and South sides of Seymour Street from Station Street to Wallace Road.
• Continuation of the concrete sidewalk on the north side of Seymour Street from west of Station Street to
   connect to a future sidewalk planned for Commerce Cresent.
• Realignment of ditches and culverts along both sides of Seymour Street.
• Installation of a 600mm trunk Watermain from Cholette Street to Wallace Road including new hydrants and
   watermain looping to improve water flow.

The City of North Bay has issued an Addendum to the completed MCEA (see attached notice) due to the period
of start of the project construction being longer than ten years from the time the original MCEA was finalized.
The anticipated start for construction is this Spring 2025 with completion scheduled for December 2026. During
this period one lane of traffic in both directions will be provided for access to local businesses and to provide safe
travel through the construction zone. Additionally, a Contractor Liaison will be provided to assist with property
owner concerns and requirements for access through the construction zone (more information will be provided
prior to construction)

To ensure all property owners receive information in a timely manner and directly from the City and Contractor
(once construction contract awarded through the tendering process) the City is requesting an email contact be
provided to the address below for mass emailing out information. All emails will remain private and confidential
and will only be used during this construction project.
