Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
Notice of Public Information Centre No. 2
The Study: The Town of New Tecumseth is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment study (MCEA) to evaluate options for improvements to 14th Line from Industrial Parkway / County Road 10 to Sideroad 10, including the Mayberry Bridge (Bridge No. 12001), and improvements to the C.W. Leach Road corridor from 14th Line to Highway 89. Additionally, intersection improvements will be considered for 14th Line / Side Road 10 West and 14th Line Industrial Parkway / County Road 10.
