A class environmental assessment to develop a transportation plan for the Talbot Trail from the 2nd Concession (Ellerbeck Road) to east of County Road 12 has been completed by the municipality.
In January, Chatham-Kent council approved the recommended plan for Phase One and Phase Two, as described in the Environmental Study Report (ESR) for information only.
The Talbot Trail Phase One recommended plan includes the implementation of a new two-lane arterial road in order to relocate Talbot Trail to 2nd Concession Line, from Ellerbeck Road to Stevenson Road with a right-of-way of 36 metres. Local access roads and/or driveway extensions will be constructed as required to service residents if/when Talbot Trail is affected by closures due to coastal erosion in the future.
Exact locations for local access roads will be determined as required. The immediate need for the Talbot Trail relocation to 2nd Concession Line is between Coatsworth Road and Stevenson Road.
The ESR document can be viewed on the Let’s Talk Chatham-Kent page or in-person at the Chatham Civic Centre until May 30.
