City Extends Feedback Deadline Re: Maley Drive Extension

The City of Greater Sudbury has extended the deadline for feedback related to the Maley Drive Extension until March 18, 2016 at 4 p.m.

The Maley Drive Extension is a construction project which is expected to provide short-, medium-, and long-term benefits to residents, businesses, and industry. The project is eligible for a three-way cost sharing partnership with senior levels of government. 

Phase One of the project will extend LaSalle Boulevard West (near Collège Boréal) to Barry Downe Road. An existing section of Maley Drive, between Barry Downe Road and Falconbridge Highway, will be rehabilitated to complete the project. The cost for Phase One is $80.1 million. The City has more than $12.2 million in a designated account to permit an immediate start to construction. The Province of Ontario has already committed its one-third share, contingent on a federal announcement.

An overview of the project, including a profile and construction maps, is available at www.greatersudbury.ca/maleydrive.

A public input session was held on March 1, 2016 in the Council Chamber of Tom Davies Square. The agenda for that meeting can be found by visiting Agendas Online. 

Visit us online at www.greatersudbury.ca/maleydrive to submit a written comment. Feedback forms will also be available at your local Citizen Service Centre. 

*Extended* Deadline for written submissions: Friday, March 18, 2016 at 4 p.m.
