Public Notices

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).

Notice: There will be temporary service disruptions at the Lindsay Recreation Complex, which will restrict elevator access to Pad 1 and the Community Room viewing areas due to private events happening on the following dates and times:
