Newmarket has completed a Master Plan Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study for improvements for water, wastewater, storm drainage and road infrastructure needed to support the Town’s policies in the Old Main Street Tertiary Plan. The study area is shown in the figure below. This Master Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Municipal Engineers Association, October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This process included indigenous, public and review agency consultation, evaluation of alternatives, assessment of potential environmental impacts of the proposed improvements and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any adverse impacts. The EA identified a new urban road cross section, improvements to the existing wastewater and water systems and improvements to the storm drainage system. Further details are provided within the Master Plan. The Final Master Plan that documents the planning and decision-making process for this study is now available for public review from Feburary 2 to March 6, 2023.
