Study Completion for Binbrook Rd, Trinity Church Rd & White Church Rd Intersection Improvements EA

The road improvements have been planned as a Schedule C Project under Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment, (October 2000, last amended 2024). Phases 1 through 4 of the process have been completed.

The preferred solution for Binbrook Road, Trinity Church Road and White Church Road is to construct two roundabouts with road realignment. The proposed design improves safety and traffic operations for all road users, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. The solution addresses existing operational deficiencies, enhances intersection performance, and supports future transportation needs within the study area.
