History of the Bridge 11 Project

GM BluePlan Engineering Limited was retained by the Municipality of Brockton to undertake a planning process toward addressing the deteriorated condition of Bridge No. 11 (Greenock), south of Paisley on Concession 20 between Baseline North and Greenock Elderslie Road, just east of Bruce Road 1.

The Municipal Engineers Association (MEA), in cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC), has developed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process to assist in planning projects of this nature.

The EA planning process develops a Project Statement, considers alternative solutions, and documents the public consultation process toward the selection by Council of a Preferred Solution to the Project Statement in a Project File. This report is prepared as the Schedule B EA Project File for Bridge No. 11 (Greenock).

Council Decisions Regarding Bridge 11 Project

On April 24, 2017 Report DOO2017-02 - Bridge No. 11 Greenock was brought to the Council Meeting to discuss the four options presented by GM BluePlan and staff requested council's direction of which option to proceed with.

Council passed Resolution 17-11-142:

That the motion dealing with Direct DOO Regarding Bridge Number 11 and identified as item 12.8 under the "Motions" section of the April 24, 2017 Council Agenda be tabled for the following reason(s):

On June 5, 2017 Report DOO2017-05 - Bridge No. 11 Greenock was brought to the Council Meeting to discuss GM BluePlan study options for the bridge. A report was submitted to the Municipality on April 2017 with four options. This report was presented to council at the April 24th council meeting. At the April 24, 2017 meeting, council also requested staff to investigate the option of replacing the current structure with a two lane bridge.
