The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (the proponent) is proposing to construct an easterly extension of the 407 Transportation Corridor (highway/transitway). The project would consist of a highway and transitway, including the extension of mainline 407 from its current terminus at Brock Road to Highway 35/115 and two north-south links connecting Highway 401 to the proposed extension of Highway 407. The project is assessed as a comprehensive study, under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency administers the federal environmental assessment process, which identifies the environmental effects of proposed projects and measures to address those effects, in support of sustainable development.
