The City of Pickering has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to extend Walnut Lane from the section presently constructed south of Kingston Road, eastward to Liverpool Road (see map). The Municipal Class EA study is being conducted in accordance with the process under the Municipal Engineers Association's, Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011 and 2015).

Walnut Lane location mapWalnut Lane is a two lane road and currently connects Glenanna Road to Kingston Road, on the north side of Kingston Road. On the south side, it provides driveway access to a private commercial development complex. Walnut Lane has two through lanes and one left turn, on the south side.

The extension is required to service existing, approved and proposed development in the Town Centre neighbourhood, and will accommodate all road users (vehicles including public transit, cyclists and pedestrians) following "Complete Streets" principles. Potential structure alternatives over Pine Creek will also be considered.
