We need your assistance to plan
When we are planning for upcoming projects, we often consult with property owners ahead of time as we start to design the project. We examine things like drainage issues and water quality complaints, while also gathering information about your private infrastructure that could be located in the area of the proposed work.
Current Projects:
Amherst Island Flood-Damaged Road Repairs Project |
|
Loyalist Township is moving forward with repairing flood-damaged roads on Amherst Island related to the damages caused to shore roads from flooding due to high water levels experienced in 2017. The infrastructure to be repaired through this project include portions of Front Road, Second Concession Road, Third Concession Road, and South Shore Road. Staff have finalized the design and a construction contract with R.W. Tomlinson Ltd. and have obtained work permits from the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry. This project is now planned to start in early October 2022, with the work beginning on South Shore road first. The remaining sites will be determined after the construction begins. Local traffic access will always be maintained; however, some detours may be required. Access to residential driveways will be maintained as much as possible. Notice will be provided to residents of any detours or if the removal of driveway access is interrupted for a short time because of construction. For further information, visit the Amherst Island Flood-Damaged Road Repairs project page. |
Amherst Island Shoreline Assessment Work |
Update:Loyalist Township has received grant funding through the National Disaster Mitigation Program to develop mitigation measures for various shoreline roads in the Township. Through November & December 2022, technical consultants from W.F. Baird & Associates Coastal Engineers Ltd. Will be assessing vulnerable shoreline areas on Amherst Island; specifically, the shorelines around Front Road near Emerald, the west end of Front Road, Third Concession Road, and South Shore Road. Background:Many roads on Amherst Island are susceptible to damage caused by high water events in Lake Ontario. High water levels, combined with prevailing winds and subsequent wave action, can lead to significant structural damage to shoreline roads, resulting in serious health and safety concerns. Such events, which have already happened twice in the last five years (in 2017 and 2019), have been linked to extreme weather events and are likely to happen again. The roads impacted by high water levels and coastal inundation are crucial to transportation on Amherst Island. Damage to these assets could significantly affect residents by limiting their ability to travel to or from their residences. Furthermore, damaged roads could negatively impact response times for emergency services, creating a potential public safety hazard. Loyalist Township applied for a grant through the National Disaster Mitigation Program for funding to develop mitigation measures for various shoreline roads in the Township and was successful. The project will involve assessing vulnerable shoreline areas on Amherst Island and developing appropriate designs to reduce the potential for future damage caused by high water levels. These designs will adhere to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (2001) Technical Guide for Great Lakes-St Lawrence River System, which provides technical guidelines and procedures for establishing the limits for flooding, erosion, and dynamic beaches and includes:
This project intends to prevent damage to the shore roads, and we are not planning to complete any work on private property. As the designs are developed, there will be an opportunity for public consultation to review and identify any concerns. At this time, there is no timeline or plan for construction; however, as the budget is available, work would progress in the same manner as the current shoreline restoration project, where access agreements are obtained for any job on private property that would be necessary to protect the existing road. To learn more about the project or provide feedback, please contact the Project Supervisor at the phone number or e-mail below to set up an appointment.

Amherstview West Secondary Plan |
|
Secondary Plans can be considered a second layer of the Township-wide Official Plan. They include a land-use plan with implementing policies that are adopted into the Official Plan to ensure that their intent is legally binding. The Secondary Plan will provide a policy and implementation framework to guide the future growth and development of this area for the next 25 years. The Secondary Plan will be accompanied by a series of technical studies that support the Plan, in accordance with the policies in the Township’s Official Plan (current and proposed policies), that also conform to the County Official Plan, and are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The Secondary Plan must also conform to all servicing and design guidelines and manuals and maintain line-of-sight to other Loyalist Township plans including but not limited to the Strategic Plan, the Asset Management Plan, the Recreation Master Plan, the Climate Action Plan (once approved), and the Infrastructure Master Plan (currently under development). The process will also be required to satisfy Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements and will need to be documented accordingly. For further information visit the Amherstview West Secondary Plan project page. |

Infrastructure Master Plan |
|
The Corporation of Loyalist Township is carrying out an Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP). The IMP is an exercise designed to address the core infrastructure needs, specifically road right-of-way, potable water, wastewater, and stormwater systems within Loyalist Township for the next 25 years. Although growth within the Township is an obvious factor the IMP will be driven by five themes. These themes are growth, new legislation, new technology, addressing remedial issues and adapting core infrastructure to address climate change. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. The Township will follow Approach 2 as noted in Appendix 4 of the MCEA. Any projects that fall under the Schedule C category will require further studies and Phases 3 & 4 Process of the Class EA after this project.

Loyalist Township Dog Park |
|
During the development of the 2017 Recreation Master Plan, consultations with residents identified the demand for an off-leash dog park within the Township. Currently, there are no designated dog parks or off-leash areas in Loyalist. Off-leash areas provide safe spaces for owners to exercise and socialize their dogs. At the August 8, 2022, Council meeting, Council directed staff to develop a Dog Park Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee; the mandate of the Loyalist Township Dog Park Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee was to represent the community and review possible locations for a dog park in Loyalist Township in either Amherstview, Bath or Odessa and make a recommendation to Council on a park considering all features and requirements necessary for a successful dog park. After selecting the volunteer committee, they reviewed all materials and possible locations and completed public consultation including an opportunity for the general public to provide feedback electronically in addition to participating in three in-person public engagement sessions. On November 8, 2022, the committee met for the last time to review and discuss the results of the public consultation and to finalize a recommendation(s) to Council. The Dog Park Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee has recommended to Council that the public consultation resulted in no definitive preferred location for a dog park. Therefore, one specific dog park is not being recommended to Council; should Council consider a dog park in the future, further public consultation be completed, and funding options be reviewed for investment within Loyalist Township. Council will consider the committee’s recommendation and make the final decision at the Monday, November 28, 2022, Regular Council meeting. Past Project Updates:November 8, 2022 –The final committee meeting was held to review and discuss the results of the public consultation and to finalize a recommendation(s) to Council. Review the meeting agenda. October 27, 2022 – The Loyalist Township Dog Park Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee completed in-person consultation sessions on October 25 (Odessa), October 26 (Bath), and October 27 (Amherstview), and the online survey has been taken down to prepare a report for the committee. September 28, 2022 - At their September 28th meeting, Loyalist Township Dog Park Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee chose the following parks for consideration:
September 20, 2022 - Loyalist Township Dog Park Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee met for the first time and were given an overview of the project to date as well as resources to help them determine a shortlist of parks in each community. Review the meeting agenda. September 11, 2022 - September 11, 2022 was the application deadline for six (6) citizen members to apply to serve on the advisory committee. August 8, 2022 – Following the information session, a report summarizing the results of the public feedback was presented to Council. After receiving the report, Council directed staff to develop a committee to represent the community and review possible locations for a dog park in Loyalist Township in either Amherstview, Bath or Odessa, and make a recommendation to Council. July 14, 2022 – An informal drop-in information session was held at Lakeview Park, Amherstview. The information session provided an opportunity for the community to learn more about the project and comment on the draft design concepts. October 25, 2021 – Council reviewed possible locations for a pilot dog park. Staff were directed to prepare a conceptual design and host community consultation sessions. The report to Council can be found here. |

Neilson Store Museum and Cultural Centre Dock Upgrades |
|
The area around the dock located behind the Neilson Store Museum and Cultural Centre on Stella Bay, Amherst Island is being upgraded to improve safety, restore the shoreline, prevent erosion, and improve access. The new armour stone wall and steps to the water were designed by Loyalist Township Engineering & Environmental Division staff. In September 2022, shoreline restoration and in-water work was completed. Reinstatement of topsoil and seed will take place in late September. Residents are advised to refrain from walking on the seeded area until grass is fully established. Railings are expected to be installed by mid-October and the dock installation is planned for spring 2023. Photo Gallery: Neilson Store dock project will appear here on the public site.
The upgrades consist of the following:
These infrastructure upgrades should lead to:
Climate Change Considerations: To mitigate environmental risks and impacts during the construction phase of the project, adequate sediment and erosion controls will be a strict requirement for the duration of the project. The shoreline restoration has also been designed to withstand erosion and prevent any further loss of shoreline in this area. Current and future climate risks to the projects over their lifespan include increased flooding, high winds, extreme heat, and erosion. These risks have been factored into the design. For example, the design of the Neilson Store Dock has considered the need for larger, heavier stone to ensure that it will remain in place during high lake levels and wave action. Permits from the Ministry of Natural Resources & Fisheries and the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority have been obtained for the project. Past Project Updates:

This project is now in the two-year warranty period. Should you have any questions or require further information please contact the Project Supervisor at the phone number or e-mail below to set up an appointment. Joe Gratton, Project Supervisor |
Bath Water Treatment Plant Upgrade |
|
Construction for the Bath Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project began in June 2020. The project involved replacing the existing media filters with a Membrane Gravity Filter system which incorporated full redundancy into the plant’s treatment process. A mobile water treatment unit provided treated drinking water for the village of Bath and the Bath and Millhaven institutions while work was conducted on the existing filters. Construction lasted approximately six months. |
County Road 6 Service Change Overs |
|
This project has been completed and is now in the two-year warranty period. Morven Construction was awarded the contract to change residential water services from an older watermain to a newer existing watermain along County Road 6 and abandon the old main. This work was completed in advance of the County’s resurfacing project for County Road 6. |
Edgewood Road Municipal Drain |
|
New watermains were installed on Edgewood Road and Compton Court in 2019, and the Township in partnership with MTO installed a new storm sewer along Edgewood Road in 2020. As part of this work, the ditches were regraded, new culverts installed, and the road was reconstructed. With the exception of a few warranty related items the project has been completed and is now in the two-year warranty period. |
Edgewood Road Watermain |
|
New watermains were installed on Edgewood Road and Compton Court in Harewood Subdivision, in the summer of 2019. The project was completed by K. Mulrooney Trucking. |
Elwood Dopking Park |
|
Following several upgrades, Elwood Dopking Park (21 South Street, Odessa) reopened to the public on December 8, 2021. Upgrades included:
|
Fairfield Park Parking Lot |
|
Kiley Paving was contracted by Loyalist Township to complete asphalt resurfacing and minor base repair work to the parking lot in Fairfield Park, Amherstview. This project was completed in October 2020 and is now in the two year warranty period. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact Joe Gratton, Project Supervisor for Loyalist Township, at Email: Joe Gratton, Project Supervisor |
Fred Brown Road Resurfacing |
|
The contractor placed new double surface treatment (chip and tar) on Fred Brown Road, as well as replacing some culverts and improving ditches. The project was completed by Morven Construction in 2018. |
LED Streetlight Conversion |
|
In late 2018, our contractor converted many existing streetlights from the orange high-pressure sodium fixtures to light emitting diode (LED) fixtures. We expect this project to pay for itself in less than four years because LED fixtures cost so much less to operate than the old style of streetlights. |
McIntyre Road Reconstruction |
|
The contractor dug up McIntyre Road between County Road 7 and County Road 4, replaced culverts and improved ditches, and then resurfaced the road. The project was completed by Morven Construction in 2018. |
Odessa West Stormwater Management (SWM) Facility and Pathway |
|
The Odessa West Subdivisions have begun their next phases of construction and the developers have completed the construction of a new stormwater management facility. The Odessa West Stormwater Management (SWM) facility has been designed to accommodate stormwater runoff from two new subdivisions in Odessa. The facility will be located at the site of the decommissioned Odessa sewage treatment plant, which will be demolished to allow for the installation of the SWM facility. In addition to the construction of the SWM facility, a section of roadway previously used to access the old sewage plant will be converted to a multi-use pathway which will be accessible to residents once construction is complete. Specifically, the bottom 400 meters of Bridge St, a 7-meter-wide paved road, which runs parallel to Millhaven Creek, will be narrowed down to 4 meters. These walking paths will provide additional connectivity into the new subdivision phases from the recently improved trail system through Babcock Mill Park and through the new SWM facility to connect to a future phase of the Babcock Mills Subdivision. |
Princeton Place Reconstruction |
|
Princeton Place in Amherstview was fully reconstructed, with new water and sanitary mains, repaving, and lawn restoration. The project was completed by Bricaza Corporation in 2019. |
Watermain Relining Program |
|
Structural relining can help an existing watermain last several decades longer. Relining a watermain instead of replacing it also means we dig up fewer front lawns for the work. 2018's watermain relining program benefited residents on Cambridge Crescent, and on the eastern leg of Kildare Avenue between Manitou Crescent West and Cambridge Crescent. |
Wilton Park Playground |
|
In 2018, the Wilton Community Association proposed that we partner with them to help improve the Wilton Park. This included a new play structure, adding an accessible pathway, and improving drainage in the park. Kiley Paving completed the project in 2018. |
