At the January 13, 2026, Committee of the Whole, a Staff Report was accepted for the sole-source
quotation and proposal from EGIS Canada Ltd for the design of the Tertiary Road entrance and roadway
from Provincial Highway 7 to the Perthmore Subdivision.
The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is preparing for the reconstruction of Highway 7 (Wayside Drive
to Blueberry Creek crossing) in the immediate future pending provincial funding support. Perth has
partnered with the MTO to replace the water and sanitary sewer infrastructure in the corridor during the
reconstruction of the road surface. Both the MTO and Perth currently have secured EGIS for the
preparation of an engineering design of both the roadway and buried infrastructure replacement. Perth is
preparing for the construction of a tertiary roadway into the Perthmore subdivision following a successful
Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) arbitration. Since the reconstruction of Highway 7 is a once in +50 year
project there is both an opportunity and efficiency to include the new Perthmore Subdivision tertiary
entrance into the project. Ultimately this tertiary entrance to the Perthmore Subdivision will serve as a
gateway to the future Arterial Road (Highway 7 to County Road 10).
