Columbia Way EA
The Town of Caledon has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Columbia Way between Highway 50 and Caledon King Townline to improve traffic conditions and enhance the safety of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, and to identify road drainage and stormwater management improvements.
In developing a recommended design, the study will consider improvements to the road for various users (motorists, pedestrians and cyclists), intersection configurations, and drainage options. Within the study limits, Columbia Way will retain the two general-purpose lanes, however the road will be reconfigured to better accommodate all users depending on the findings of the study. The study is being completed as a Schedule “B” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015).
