Public Information Centre announcement

To support future development in southwest Kitchener, this study includes the extension of Blair Creek Drive from the intersection of Reidel Drive and Blair Creek Drive to the future Strasburg Road, approximately 700 metres (See Figure 1.0 for study area). On behalf of the City of Kitchener, MTE Consultants is undertaking a study to determine a preferred road alignment and preliminary design of the new Blair Creek Drive.

This project is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act by following the Municipal Class EA document (as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023) and it is being planned under Schedule ‘B’ of the Municipal Class EA.

At this stage of the project, several technical studies have been completed or are underway including Ecological, Heritage, Traffic and Geotechnical. MTE has identified a preferred alignment and cross-section for the extension of Blair Creek Drive in the study area shown below.
