McKeown Avenue Reconstruction
Addendum to the Environmental Study Report
Addendum Completion
The City of North Bay has completed an Addendum to the 1999 McKeown Avenue Schedule ‘C’ Class
Environmental Assessment (EA) Environmental Study Report (ESR).
The study area includes McKeown Avenue from Cartier Street to the Gormanville Road roundabout approach as shown in the key plan below. The project was completed in accordance with requirements for Schedule ‘C’ projects within the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011, 2015 & 2023) process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Considering that it has been over 10 years since the original Environmental Study Report was filed, the City completed this EA Addendum to reassess the widening of McKeown Avenue in consideration of the changes that have occurred since 1999, including traffic volumes and patterns, development, and regulations.
