Lundy’s Lane (Regional Road 20) from Highland Avenue to Montrose Road (Regional Road 98)
The Study
Niagara Region is undertaking an Environmental Assessment Study for improvements to Lundy’s Lane (Regional Road 20) from Highland Avenue to Montrose Road (Regional Road 98) in the City of Niagara Falls. It is a four-lane road that is an important corridor for moving vehicles, people, and goods across the city, and is often heavily populated with traffic associated with the tourism industry, as many attractions, restaurants and retail stores are located along Lundy’s Lane. It is imperative that Lundy’s Lane remains a safe and effective transportation route now and in the future. The study will build on the recommendations of the Niagara Region Transportation Master Plan and aim to identify improvements to the roadway and future needs including: consideration of intersection, safety, operational, and capacity improvements. A complete streets approach will be used to help incorporate elements of active transportation, streetscaping, and compatibility with various land uses within the study area.
The Process
The study is being carried out as a Schedule ‘C’ project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This study will address the requirements of Phases 1 to 4 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. Once the study is complete, an Environmental Study Report will be prepared and available for public review and comment. A Notice of Completion will be issued at that stage.
