County Road 4: CR 89 to Barrie City Limits

PROJECT

Following completion of the County of Simcoe’s Transportation Master Plan Update, the County has identified the need to widen County Road 4, between County Road 89 (Shore Acres Drive) and Barrie city limits (Lockhart Road). The County is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to consider options for the widening of County Road 4 to address increasing traffic demands and to support the growth and development in the County (​​. The addition of a multi-use trail along will be considered as part of the planning and design of the project.​

The process will include the evaluation of alternative design concepts with consideration for the natural, cultural, technical and economic environment.  A preferred design will be recommended in consultation with agencies, stakeholders, Indigenous communities and the public.  The process will be documented in an Environmental Study Report (ESR), prepared for public review.

Public Information Centre

The County likes to ensure that anyone interested in this project has the opportunity to provide input into the planning and design. 

The County provided virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) to describe the process, the proposed alternative design concepts, identify next steps and gather public comments.
