Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is holding an in-person Public Information Centre (PIC) to discuss the reconstruction and widening of Rossland Road, from 400 metres west of Ritson Road to Harmony Road, in Oshawa.

When: Thursday, March 2 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

Where: Northview Community Centre, 150 Beatrice Street East in Oshawa.

Why: Public consultation is a key component of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process.

The PIC includes:

• An overview of the Class EA process and existing conditions.
• The preliminary recommended design and alternative design concepts.
• Next steps for the project.
