The Town of Caledon has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to look into improvements to Winston Churchill Boulevard between Beechgrove Sideroad and Caledon East Garafraxa Townline.
The purpose of the study is to identify a recommended design for Winston Churchill Boulevard that addresses the increasing wear and tear associated with population growth while enhancing road safety, improving traffic operations and connectivity for all users.
In developing a recommended design, the study will consider a range of options for the road including but not limited to:
- Road rehabilitation
- Road and intersection improvements
- Active transportation (pedestrian and cyclist) amenities
- Drainage improvements
Within the study limits, Winston Churchill Boulevard will retain the two general-purpose lanes, however various options will be evaluated to enhance safety, improve traffic operations and to better accommodate all road users.
The study is being completed as a Schedule “B” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015).
