Study Spotlights and E-Newsletters
E-Newsletters are distributed at key points in the project process to provide project updates, including alternatives development and evaluation, recent public engagement opportunities and feedback received, and project next steps.
Study Spotlights are one-page documents which cover specific project topics, such as Lakefront Trail & Park Access, Environment & Climate Change, and Transit Improvements. They also review Level 3 Screening criteria and results. Please note that these capture the project’s status at the specific time they were prepared and do not necessarily reflect all of the latest project information.
