Red Maple Road Modifications

Municipal Class Environment Assessment Study

The Project

The City of Richmond Hill has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to review traffic operations and potential road modifications for Red Maple Road. The study area, as shown on the key plan, includes Red Maple Road from High Tech Road to Highway 7.

The purpose of the study was to review the existing and future traffic operations of the corridor and recommend operational and safety modifications. Based on the study findings, including feedback received from the public and other stakeholders, the following modifications are recommended: traffic signals at the south driveway, a shared access between Home Depot and Langstaff GO Station parking lots, and a centre median at the north driveway to restrict access to right turns only.

The Process

The project was planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015) process.

A Project File Report (PFR) has been prepared documenting the planning and decision-making process that led to the preferred design. By way of this Notice, the Project File Report is being placed on the public record for a 30-day review person from and including, September 8, 2022, to October 10, 2022. The Project File Report is available for review on the City of Richmond Hill website:
