During the 30 days of engagement residents will have an opportunity to provide comments through the project email at thirdcrossing@cityofkingston.ca, over the phone through the City’s contact us centre, online at the City’s Get Involved page, and at one of the open houses by submitting a comment card.

To meet federal requirements, the City is in a collaborative process to complete a Detailed Impact Assessment (DIA), which is a regulatory requirement for the project. The DIA includes the project team drafting a comprehensive report that demonstrates the environmental considerations, impacts and proposed mitigation strategies for the project.  Federal departments and agencies must approve the DIA before it goes for public review.

Federal departments and agencies will review all the final DIA, including the public comments, and decide on issuing an in-water permit.
