Notice of Public Information Centre
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Addendum for Colborne Street Bridge
Issued: June 23, 2025
The Study and Background
The City of Kawartha Lakes has advanced the detailed design of a new bridge crossing over the Scugog River, connecting Colborne Street East and Colborne Street West (see figure below) in the Town of Lindsay. This detailed design work builds on the preliminary design recommendations of the original 1994 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and the 2000 EA Addendum. Due to the time that has passed since the last EA update, an additional EA Addendum is being undertaken to reconfirm the findings of the previous assessment and fulfill current requirements under the Municipal Class EA process (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2023).
You Are Invited To Participate
As part of the project, a Public Information Centre (PIC) is being held to present the detailed design of the proposed bridge and gather feedback from the public, Indigenous Communities, and other stakeholders. This event will feature a 30 minute summary presentation at 6pm followed by a question and answer session. The remaining time will consist of an open house drop-in style session for review of display boards by the participants.

Date: Tuesday July 15, 2025
Time: 5:30pm to 7:30pm - 30 minute presentation starts at 6pm
