Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment – Conceptual DesignWe are excited to initiate this project and recognize the importance of Bobcaygeon Beach Park redesign to the community. Landscape Planning Limited is leading the design project. The conceptual design includes innovative approaches and progressive technologies that are sustainable and operationally feasible. All design elements will meet or exceed Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation Guidelines and Design of Public Spaces Standards. The design has a focus on water recreation and will facilitate use by various water craft user groups including activities such as rowing, kayaking, canoeing and motorized water craft. The design incorporates outdoor pavilions, docking to provide access to the Big Bob Channel, washroom facilities to service all park users, playground structures, water view walking paths and shoreline improvements with a focus on connection to all park features. The overall design fosters a water play focus. Public input is a key component to the design development. The first Public Open House took place on Thursday, June 21, 2018. The meeting was an opportunity for community members to share thoughts, concerns and ideas directly with the project team. Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment Final Public Open House
The Final Public Open House for the Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment took place on Thursday, December 6, 2018 at the Bobcaygeon Service Centre. Approximately 80 individuals attended this meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to share the revised concept design with the public. The initial conceptual design has been revised based on public feedback and comments received at the June 21, 2018 Public Open House and online survey. The revised design was presented during this meeting. The design continues to have a focus on water recreation and community use by incorporating outdoor gathering spaces, multi-use pathways, playground structures, riparian shoreline improvements and boat docking. Landscape Planning Limited is leading the design project. The current conceptual design and report will be presented to Council. A project funding request has been included in the 2019 Capital Budget Program, and if approved, an RFP will be prepared in order to award the provision of the final design development and construction management services. It is anticipated that on-site work will begin in the Fall of 2019.

Victoria Falls (Black River Road) Bridge Replacement |
The municipality of Kawartha Lakes is planning for the replacement of Victoria Falls (Black River Road) Bridge. The bridge is located on Black River Road, approximately 12.2 km east of Kawartha County Road 6 in the Township of Dalton, bordering the Township of Digby. Black River Road is surrounded by the boundaries of Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park. The bridge carries a single‑lane east-west traffic over the Black River and is a connecting link between the Townships of Dalton and Digby, which are owned by Longford Reserve Limited.
Given the current condition of the bridge, it has been determined that the bridge must be replaced to maintain safe access to the Longford Reserve and Ontario Parks lands.
All interested parties are encouraged to review the background documents and Project File, and provide comment(s) as appropriate. Input on the project will be received until April 5, 2021. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the City of Kawartha Lakes intends to proceed with the design and construction of this project.

Fenelon Falls Bridge Replacement |
The preliminary planning and design work for the Fenelon Falls Bridge replacement began last year (2022). Progress on the evaluation of options for replacement of the Fenelon Falls Bridge was slowed due to high flow conditions within the river last Fall. Parks Canada is currently working on studies for major rehabilitation work on the upstream dam and spillways in the area. The spillway along the north side of the river feeds the Orillia Power Generating Station therefore any proposed bridge work will have a major impact on Orillia Power. Parks Canada is evaluating all options for the spillway(s) and they will ultimately be in control of permitting any proposed City works with consideration for their own dam program and the needs of Orillia Power. Our Consultant, D.M. Wills Associates Limited, will be completing all necessary desktop exercises and field work to ensure that they have a full understanding of the natural environment, and fisheries that may affect construction methods, timing and mitigation measures. The field work is set to resume in May 2023 and a Public Information Centre will be held in Fall 2023. |

Notice of Study Commencement Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Addendum for Colborne Street Bridge
The Study and Background To facilitate a new bridge crossing over Scugog River connecting Colborne Street East and Colborne Street West in the Town of Lindsay, a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study was completed in 1994, followed by an EA Addendum in 2000. To meet the requirements of MCEA due to the elapsed time (over 10 years) since the completion of the 2000 EA addendum, the City of Kawartha Lakes has initiated a second round of EA Addendum to re-confirm the findings of the previous assessments and continue the progress to the detailed design. The Process The project is being undertaken as a Class EA Addendum to the 1994 Class EA and the 2000 Class EA Addendum and will follow the approved Municipal Class EA process (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023) as defined under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This Class EA Addendum is being undertaken in support from Parks Canada to satisfy the requirements of the Parks Canada Impact Assessment Process under the federal Impact Assessment Act. The project team will confirm the findings of the previous study and complete detailed design for the Colborne Street Bridge. We Invite You to Participate! A key component of the project will be consultation with the public, Indigenous Communities, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders who are interested in this project. The preliminary design was completed as part of the previous 1994 Class EA and 2000 EA Addendum. Currently, project is undergoing detailed design with a Tied Arch Bridge at this site. After the completion of 60% detailed design a Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held during summer of 2024 and the design will be shared with the public and other stakeholders to solicit their feedback. Advanced notification of the PIC will be advertised on the project webpage and in the local newspaper, in addition to being sent to those on the project mailing list. Stay Connected!

Omemee Wastewater Treatment Upgrade |
The City of Kawartha Lakes has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study to determine the preferred solution to address operational issues with the large sub-surface disposal system (LSSDS) at the Omemee Wastewater Treatment Plant located at 267 Beaver Road.
