People who use the intersection of Appleby Line and No. 2 Side Road in north Burlington have until Monday, Nov. 30, to tell Halton Region what they think of the ways it could improve it, including a solution the Region now recommends.
The Region opened an online Public Information Centre, a web version of the open house where planners show a project and take questions, on Nov. 9, and anyone with an interest in the intersection can take part.
The Region says it wants comments on its statement of the problem it is trying to solve at the intersection, the alternative solutions it considered, the one it recommends, the alternative design concepts it is weighing, and next steps. The options range from changes to the intersection itself to how traffic moves through the area overall.
Appleby Line is a regional road, Regional Road 20, which is why Halton rather than the City of Burlington is running the work. The study is a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, the process Ontario requires before municipalities build or change major roads: it compares options, weighs their effects and gives the public a say before a final decision is made. Here, the Region says it will assess how any improvements would affect the social, cultural and natural environment around the intersection.
Halton first announced the study in a notice of commencement dated March 30, 2026. It is still under way, with the engineering firm CIMA Canada Inc. working as the Region's consultant.
To weigh in, visit the Region's online consultation webpage, which has the survey and videos about the study, or email [email protected] by Nov. 30. Questions can go to the Region's project manager, Jessica Passingham, at 905-825-6000, ext. 7556.
