THE STUDY
The Regional Official Plan No.14 (ROPA 14) and Official Plan Amendment No. 99 (OPA 99) as amended by Ontario Municipal Board designated lands for the Stoney Creek Urban Boundary Expansion (SCUBE) to allow urban development in Lower Stoney Creek.
Accordingly, the City of Hamilton has initiated the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) study for the SCUBE area. The objective of this study is to assess the transportation needs to support the projected growth by the year 2021. The study area is located between Highway 8 on the south, South Service Rd on the north, Fruitland Road on the west and the City boundary on the east as shown in the map below.

THE PROCESS
The Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Master Plan approach is being undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007). The Master Plan will, at a minimum, address Phase 1 (Problem or Opportunity) and Phase 2 (Alternative Solutions) of the Municipal Class EA process. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report will be prepared and made available for public review and comment. Another advertisement will be published at that time.
