A Master Land Use Plan and Area-specific Transportation Master Plan for the Central Oshawa Major Transit Station Area (M.T.S.A.) is underway. The M.T.S.A. Study Area is centered on the future Central Oshawa GO Station site located at 500 Howard Street, situated on the south side of the Canadian Pacific Rail corridor approximately midway between Simcoe St. S. and Ritson Rd. S.

Planning for land uses and transportation within the M.T.S.A. is now moving forward to Stage 3!

The City of Oshawa invites community members to provide their feedback on a preferred land use alternative, a transportation evaluation of alternative solutions, and an updated land use plan and draft urban design guidelines for the Study Area surrounding the planned Central Oshawa GO Station.

Additionally, feedback is being sought on a preliminary design for the First Ave./McNaughton Ave. corridor between Simcoe St. S. and Ritson Rd. S., being completed as a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment as part of the Area-specific Transportation Master Plan.

  • Share Hello, May I ask what is the planned route for the extension of Toronto Ave to Howard Street as shown in the Land Use Alternate 3 map on page 5 and 7 of the PDF document named Oshawa_MTSA_PIC3_Boards_Final. When will notices be sent to affected properties regarding the update to the road configuration in the SE corner of the map drawing. I can see 3 properties affected, one on Drew and 2 on Howard street, thus creating a full neighbourhood block unit on the south side of Toronto Ave from Howard street to Ritson Road.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your question. The land use alternatives you have highlighted are intended to show the potential long-term densities of development blocks in the MTSA Study Area, not to indicate future road removals/additions. 

    As the on- and off-ramp from Drew Street is expected to be removed in the medium-term forecast by the provincial Ministry of Transportation (M.T.O.), it was decided to show the block pattern in this area in a form that is more closely aligned to the surrounding neighbourhood’s grid pattern.  

    Any road network changes would be subject to separate study, for which appropriate notice would be provided as required by legislation.

    Hello Dan,

    The impact of increased rail traffic, as well as appropriate mitigation measures (such as sound barriers), would be under the purview of the relevant rail authority – in this case CPKC or Metrolinx. This would not be within the scope of the integrated MTSA Study as the Study is led by the City of Oshawa.  

    More information on the Bowmanville Extension, including technical studies evaluating the impact of the extension, is available here: https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projects-and-programs/lakeshore-east-line-go-expansion/what-were-building/bowmanville-extension
