Peel Region is working in your area to rehabilitate the sanitary sewer along Lakeshore Rd. E.
The City of Mississauga is allowing work to be done by our contractor overnight. This work will take place overnight in order to reduce the impact of lane closures on traffic congestion. This overnight work will occur on Lakeshore Rd. E. between Alexandra Ave. and Ogden Ave., between Deta Rd. and 42nd Street as well as at the intersection of Lakeshore Rd. E. and Haig Blvd. We apologize in advance for any inconveniences caused by this work.
Schedule
This overnight work is expected to take place during intermittent periods, from January 5, 2025 until April 3, 2025, between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Additional nights may be required due to unpredictable delays, such as poor weather conditions.
Traffic Impacts
This work will require a lane closure on Lakeshore Rd. E. from Alexandra Ave. to Ogden Ave., from Deta Rd. to 42nd Street and at the intersection of Lakeshore Rd. E. and Haig Blvd. Signage will be available for detour route directions.
Noise
We do not anticipate significant noise or vibrations above normal daytime construction levels during these operations. Efforts will be made to reduce impacts to local residents as much as possible.
Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible.

I am pleased to announce that the Ogden Pedestrian Bridge is now open to the public as of late afternoon on December 23rd, 2024.
GHD staff who are managing the QEW/Dixie Interchange project for the Ministry of Transportation have advised that the bridge has been opened with some temporary arrangements in place, and the remaining permanent work is scheduled to be completed before spring while the bridge remains open.
Glad to see this very important pedestrian link back open in Ward 1!

The City of Mississauga reminds drivers to stay sober while driving to prevent collisions.
December 13, 2024
Alcohol and drug use
Driving under the influence of alcohol or cannabis is dangerous for yourself, your passengers as well as other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. A collision that results in a fatality or serious injury has significant consequences to those involved and their loved ones.
Driving impaired is dangerous as even minimal amounts can affect your driving skills. Driving requires full control over your mind and body, and requires you to be alert so you can make quick decisions. When you drink or consume drugs, it can disrupt your ability to focus, affecting your risk perception, motor skills, reaction time, decision-making abilities and overall co-ordination.
Impaired driving in Mississauga
According to Peel Regional Police, impaired driving (driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol) continues to be a concern in Mississauga. From January 1 to November 30, 2024, there were 89 collisions that involved impaired drivers on Mississauga roads.
Peel Regional Police has launched their Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) program to help address impaired driving. R.I.D.E. checks are conducted throughout the year, but the holiday campaign includes increased enforcement levels and additional officer deployment. The program has already checked more than 4,600 vehicles and will continue to early January. If you suspect someone is driving impaired, call 911 to report it.
Driving under the influence of alcohol, cannabis or certain drugs is a serious offence. You put yourself at risk of immediate license suspension, hefty fines, education or treatment programs and even vehicle impoundment. Penalties can vary depending on your age, licence type, the amount of alcohol or drugs in your system, and how many times you have been convicted or had your licence suspended.
Stay safe while out on the roads
Whether you’re walking, cycling, taking transit or driving, it’s important that you stay extra alert when travelling around the city to your destination.
If you’re planning to drive – stay sober. If you’d like to consume alcohol or cannabis, plan an alterative way home. You can designate a driver, use MiWay to get around or use a rideshare program or taxi.
If you’re walking, cycling or taking transit, remember to stay alert and be aware, especially when crossing intersections. Make sure to use a crosswalk or crossride when possible.

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
(TRCA) is pleased to announce that the Etobicoke Creek Watershed Plan (ECWP) 2024-2034 was approved by TRCA’s Board of Directors on November 22, 2024, and implementation of the watershed plan will now begin.
Prior to approval by TRCA’s Board of Directors, the ECWP was adopted / endorsed by partner municipalities within the watershed including the City of Toronto, Region of Peel, City of Mississauga,
City of Brampton, and Town of Caledon.
The development of the ECWP was a collaborative effort between these partner municipalities, TRCA, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. Additional First Nations and Indigenous communities as well as stakeholders and members of the public were engaged throughout the process.
The new watershed plan outlines current and potential future watershed conditions and identifies the
priority actions needed to protect, enhance, and restore the health of the Etobicoke Creek watershed
and improve community well-being over the long-term. The actions in the plan will also help to build
resiliency to land use and climate changes and inform decision making in the watershed.
The ECWP will be in effect for 10 years from 2024-2034. A comprehensive, coordinated, and collaborative approach to implementing, tracking, and reporting on all aspects of the watershed plan will be essential to fully realise the vision for the watershed. An Implementation Steering Committee consisting of the same partners noted above will be established in 2025 to guide and support implementation. We will work together to achieve the shared commitments outlined in the plan and to demonstrate accountability towards improving watershed health and building safer communities.
More information about the ECWP can be found on the project webpage including an ECWP Factsheet,
the online interactive ECWP, an ECWP highlights video, and the Engagement Summary documents (which outline engagement activities that took place throughout the watershed planning process). As ECWP implementation progresses, regular updates will be provided on the project webpage.
If you have any questions about the ECWP or its implementation, please email us at etobicoke@trca.ca
Peel Regional Police is proud to announce that we are one of the first services in Ontario to take on the 30X30 Initiative Pledge to have women comprise 30% of all recruit classes by 2030.
The pledge also supports PRP’s vision to see women account for 30% of our sworn membership by 2030, with policies and culture intentionally supporting the success of qualified female officers.
In 2024, on average, approximately 19% of recruits were women from each of the new recruit graduating classes and currently, approximately 22% of Peel Regional Police uniform members are women. Increasing the representation of women from all backgrounds in our service is instrumental to embodying our vision of being the most progressive, innovative, and inclusive service in North America.
In addition to taking the pledge, Uniform Recruiting has launched a 30X30 Initiative social media campaign which has been highlighting women from our service throughout 2024. There will also be several outreach events for women such as the FIT Bootcamp Mentorship Program, Ladies Night Information Sessions and the Women in Policing Symposium that inform women in our community about the wide variety of opportunities and great benefits of being part of PRP.
