Subsequent to public consultation and an Environmental Assessment (EA) process in
2009, it has been decided to re-align the LSI by removing the
building presently occupied by the CIBC on the SE corner. It is
proposed that CIBC move to a new location at 301 Lakeshore Road West
on the former 'Briarwood' site
development.
The community is concerned that there be appropriate adaptive
re-use of the heritage Port
Credit Post Office building on the SW corner of the
intersection. The staff report makes clear that it is NOT an
either-or situation regarding allocation of public funds.
BACKGROUND CHRONOLOGY:
The City’s Transportation and Works Dept. is reviewing
the safety and efficiency concerns at the LSI intersection. Significant changes
were proposed in 2007, however, the public voiced many concerns about the
proposed changes at an Open House at the Port Credit Library on
September 25, 2007.

On Sept. 30,
2009, a
Notice of Study Completion was issued regarding the Environmental
Assessment (EA) conducted in the immediate area of the
intersection. In addition, a
Summary of Public Comments was also issued, further to the June
23rd PIC. The preferred alternative (#3) is confirmed, including re-alignment of Stavebank Road South to better align with the
north approach with minimal impact to Lakeshore Road East.
This will entail removal of the CIBC building at the SE corner of
the intersection.
Any further
public comment was requested
by October 30, 2009. A review copy of the Project
File Report is available at the Port Credit Library at
