Status: Notice of Study Completion

Updated November 17, 2023

Purpose

Following completion of Oxford County’s 2019 Transportation Master Plan, the County identified the need to improve Oxford Road 19 to support the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. Accordingly, the County undertook a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to consider improvement options for approximately 16 kilometres of Oxford Road 19 (excluding the Settlements of Springford and Otterville) to suit anticipated transportation demands for the 25-year horizon and beyond.

Scope

The Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study evaluated alternative road corridor improvement solutions and designs with consideration for the natural, cultural, social, economic and technical environments, and recommended a preferred design in consultation with the public, Indigenous communities, and regulatory agencies.

Public consultation

Public engagement and consultation was key to identifying the community’s servicing needs and priorities. Members of the public were invited and encouraged to comment on the project at any time during the study by  subscribing to the study mailing list to receive notices of future consultation opportunities and by attending one of the Public Consultation Centres (PCCs).
