About the project

Oxford County has initiated a harmonized Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the Oxford Road 4 and Oxford Road 15 (Parkinson Road) intersection to review the intersection configuration, traffic operations, and safety.

The 2024 Transportation Master Plan study recommended the implementation of upgrades and improvements to this intersection to accommodate anticipated traffic growth over the next 25 years.

The purpose of this study is to:

• Identify and evaluate alternatives to improve the Oxford Road 4 and Oxford Road 15 intersection;
• Select a preferred solution and evaluate a preferred design concept;
• Complete and document the Class EA Study in accordance with the Municipal and MTO provincial documents;
• Engage interested parties and the public; and,
• Meet the County’s vision “to provide a safe, efficient and sustainable multi-model transportation network.”

About the process

The project is being completed as a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2024) and a Group “C” MTO Class Environmental Assessment (2024), approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Upon completion of this study, an Environmental Study Report documenting the process will be submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and made available for public review for a minimum period of 30 calendar days.

We want to hear from you

Consultation with stakeholders is a key component of the study process and input will be sought throughout the study. A Public Consultation Centre (PCC) is being held to provide an overview of the study, including problems and opportunities to be addressed, existing conditions within the study area, alternative design solutions and evaluation criteria for selecting the preferred design alternative, and the preliminary recommended design solution.

The Public Consultation Centre will be held:
