Vegetation and tree removal along railway corridor in Central Oshawa

What is Happening?

To facilitate construction of the Bowmanville Extension, crews working on behalf of Metrolinx will be carrying out early preparatory works along the existing CPKC line. This includes clearing, removing, and pruning designated trees and vegetation located on CPKC and Municipal lands shown on the map. 

Before vegetation removal work begins, the area will be carefully checked for wildlife and active bird nests, and work will move forward following all required environmental and wildlife protection measures. To learn more about our approach to managing trees and vegetation as we build new transit at metrolinx.com/vegetation.
