Recommendation Detail

HEP-059

Human Environment (People) Effects Assessment High Priority

Request the explicit inclusion of Melgund (Dyment/Borups Corners) as a named primary stakeholder in the 'transportation plans' communication strategy, rather than grouping it under 'other local communities'.

Strategic Rationale

"The Initial Project Description explicitly names the Township of Ignace and WLON for transportation communication but relegates other affected areas to 'other local communities.' Since the project relies on Highway 17 which bisects Melgund, local residents face direct safety risks from increased heavy traffic and wildlife collisions. Explicit recognition ensures Melgund's specific traffic safety concerns are formally addressed rather than overlooked."
