Process details

1. Surveying is conducted
2. An informal Project Initiation Meeting is held for new projects, with stakeholders, at the start of the design process
3. Design work continues, including modifications from initial public feedback
4. Public Input - A formal Public Information Centre is held later in the design process to present detailed design(s) to the community, at which time input is also requested
5. The final design is presented to Council for approval
6. Design projects generally begin in the spring and are completed in the late fall or early winter
7. Construction projects are typically tendered in the winter and early spring
8. Work generally commences in mid to late spring
9. Construction timing, particularly in or near waterways, may be constrained by environmental requirements
10. Every effort is made to minimize disruption to abutting properties during construction

Due to the scope or scale of any individual project, timelines and steps may vary. For example, not all projects will include a Project Initiation Meeting or Public Information Centre.

Environmental assessments

The Town currently has one ongoing Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, the Boyne Active Transportation Link.  

An environmental assessment first step in all of our capital road projects. The project schedule (or type) according to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process is determined.

The MCEA has five phases:

1. Identify the problem or opportunity
2. Identify alternative solutions and evaluate them
3. Prepare and evaluate alternative design concepts for the preferred solution
4. Prepare an environmental study report
5. Implementation (complete detailed design and ultimately proceed to construction)
