Colour-coded environmental mapping of the Safari Road study area showing ecological features and flood risk. Safari Road is highlighted in red (high risk) and yellow (medium risk) running diagonally across the map. The provincially significant wetland is outlined in light blue dashed lines, with an unevaluated wetland shown in darker blue dashes. Green areas indicate wooded zones; light blue shows waterbodies; and dark blue lines mark watercourses. White icons with species silhouettes indicate species-at-risk habitat locations (including mammals and birds) concentrated along the road corridor. Direct fish habitat areas are marked with fish icons. An inset note explains that ditches connected to flooded areas have potential to support direct fish habitat when wet. City of Hamilton graphic prepared for May 2026 environmental assessment.
