Thank you to everyone who participated and provided feedback in our first Public Information Centre on February 22, 2024, and to those who provided feedback on Speak Up Lincoln. Please visit this page for ongoing updates on this project.

Project Background

Greenlane within the urban boundary in Beamsville (Konkle Creek trail to Bartlett Road) is experiencing significant infill development and as a result, this roadway will be upgraded to an urban standard that supports the "complete streets" approach by providing dedicated space for all modes of transportation. Given the anticipated impacts of reconstruction, this project includes completing a Schedule “C” Environmental Assessment in advance of detailed design and contract document preparation.

Project Description

The Town has retained CIMA+ to undertake a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) that will consider potential solutions for reconstructing Greenlane within the Beamsville urban boundary. The study will identify and evaluate alternative solutions and determine a recommended plan to upgrade Greenlane with a complete streets approach to accommodate intensification in the area and the need to provide residents access to the area through all modes of transportation.

This study will follow the MCEA for a Schedule 'C’ project in accordance with the requirements outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association MCEA manual (October 2000, as amended in March 2023), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. As part of this process, two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be planned to occur later in the study. Once the study is complete, a Project File Report will be prepared and filed for a 30-day public review period. A Notice of Completion will be published on this Speak Up Lincoln page and sent to the project mailing list to advise the public of the Project File Report review period.

Solutions to be considered will include:

  • Reconstructing Greenlane with a complete streets approach
  • Reconstructing Greenlane within the existing ROW with a best fit solution
  • Do nothing

All solutions will be evaluated from cultural heritage, natural environment, socio-economic, technical feasibility, and financial perspectives.

The project will align with several of the Town’s existing plans, including:

Next Steps

Public engagement is an important component of the MCEA process, and the Town will engage Indigenous communities, landowners, agencies, interested stakeholders and the public over the course of the study.

The first Public Information Centre (PIC) will take place in November 2023 to introduce the study, provide background information, and context and discussion around the various alternatives. The PIC will be a drop-in style, open house format. Members of the project team will be available to answer your questions and receive your feedback.

Residents will receive an invitation to attend a public consultation through a Public Notice and will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the project. Please continue to check this page for further updates.

  • Share With increased traffic on Greenlane, especially between Bartlett and Ontario, and the street really not quite wide enough as-is for street parking, are there plans to widen it? ..maybe on the north side and perhaps move vehicle parking there? Or keep parking where it is, but widen to north side anyways so traffic can flow easier? However, with speeders a common problem and the stop sign at Garden Gate (that would have been better served at Carriage instead, imho), I'm concerned that if traffic flow is made easier, it may add to speeding, not discourage it. hmm?. Something more has to be done to accommodate the traffic flow on Greenlane, but yet slow the speeders down at the same time. With new buildings and a new school possibly going up in the near future, something very strategic has to be planned to accommodate these concerns.

    Ian W asked 8 months ago

    Thank you for your question and thoughtful comments. Yes, the intention is to widen the road with a complete streets approach and accommodate on-street parking where feasible to do so. Further road section details will be provided at the Town’s next PIC which is tentatively scheduled for late spring. Traffic calming will also be integrated into the street upgrades strategically and the public will have a chance to see these plans prior to implementation.

  • Share As part of this project, will there be consideration for (as a minimum) a signalized crossing of Greenlane at Cedarbrook? With the increased projected volume of traffic along the Greenlane Corridor, it will be key to have facilities inline with our active transportation to facilitate safe crossing of Greenland to provide better access between the new buildings, eventual Go Station and shops to the exiting Cedarbrook neighbourhood and the well used Konkle Creek path. on Facebook Share As part of this project, will there be consideration for (as a minimum) a signalized crossing of Greenlane at Cedarbrook?

    Brent asked about 1 year ago

    Thank you for your question. It is not anticipated that a full traffic signal will be warranted at the intersection of Cedarbrook Lane and Greenlane Road. However, a formalized pedestrian crossover (PXO) will be required somewhere in the area of Konkle Creek Trail and Cedarbrook Lane. It is yet to be determined what level of PXO will be installed and residents will have an opportunity to comment on the location at a future public meeting.

  • Share Complete streets, with designated bike and pedestrian lanes would be wonderful for Beamsville especially on Greenlane, where students are now commuting to/from school. Although widening of the road will impact the residents on this road, in the long run it will help to improve non-motorized traffic flow and tourism in this sector. Thank you for putting forward this idea, I think it aligns well with sustainable development for our area. on Facebook Share Complete streets, with designated bike and pedestrian lanes would be wonderful for Beamsville especially on Greenlane, where students are now commuting to/from school.
