NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT
THE PROJECT:
The County of Huron is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to investigate improvement options at the intersection of County Road 83 and Airport Line, west of Exeter (see map). This intersection receives significant peak tourism traffic on weekends and holidays and is an important route for local transportation of goods and agricultural equipment. Options for intersection improvements will include, but are not limited to, traffic calming measures, turning lanes, signals and round-abouts.

The purpose of the screening process is to identify potential environmental impacts associated with the project and to plan for appropriate mitigation of any impacts. The process includes consultation with the public, stakeholders, First Nation and Métis communities, and government review agencies.
