As construction continues on the Hazel McCallion Line LRT, staff would like to inform you of some upcoming activities that may affect few residents in your area.
From Monday, August 26, 2024, to Thursday, August 29, 2024, between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, our team will be installing permanent concrete curbs and gutters between Mineola Road West and Pinetree Way. This work will result in intermittent impacts to your driveway.
To ensure continued access for motorists, we will use steel plates to allow immediate entry and exit once the curb machine has moved past your driveway. Additionally, a flag person will be present on-site to guide drivers to unimpacted driveways and parking lots during this period.
Please be aware that the scheduled dates may change due to unforeseen circumstances.
If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me at peel@metrolinx.com.
The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Wednesday, August 28th, from 9:00 p.m. to Thursday, August 29th, 6:00 a.m. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
- Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
- Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
- Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.
After the water interruption
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
Important note
After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
- 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
- 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

A delegation of Councillors and staff from the City of Mississauga, led by Mayor Carolyn Parrish, attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s 2024 conference in Ottawa.
August 22, 2024
In attendance from the City were Councillor Alvin Tedjo, Ward 2; Councillor Chris Fonseca, Ward 3; Councillor Joe Horneck, Ward 6; Councillor Dipika Damerla, Ward 7; Deputy Mayor and Councillor, Matt Mahoney, Ward 8; Councillor Martin Reid, Ward 9; Councillor Sue McFadden, Ward 10; Councillor Brad Butt, Ward 11; Geoff Wright, Mississauga’s City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer; and Raj Sheth, Commissioner of Corporate Services.
During the conference, Mississauga’s delegation took the opportunity to discuss the City’s top priorities including housing affordability and the tools needed to get housing built quickly; ensuring Mississauga and Peel Region receive their fair share of provincial funding; investing in infrastructure and transit, including a new deal for Mississauga similar to those recently signed between the province and the cities of Toronto and Ottawa; job growth and skills development to meet the demand for new housing; and supports for key industries including small businesses.
Individual meetings took place with the cabinet ministers and representatives from the following portfolios:
- Municipal Affairs and Housing
- Infrastructure
- Transportation
- Finance
- Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and Small Business
- Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development
The Mississauga delegation also met with the leaders and caucus members from the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP), Ontario Liberal Party and the Ontario Green Party.
The Mississauga delegation stressed with all provincial ministers, as well as with opposition party leaders, the need for fairness for the 1.5 million people that live in Peel Region. According to the Metamorphosis Network, a group of close to 100 social services agencies in Peel Region, residents in Peel receive $578 less per capita from the province than people living in other regions, and $145 less per capita for vital social services. In total, Peel Region is short more than $868 million for important programs and services that residents rely upon. This funding gap must be closed using property tax dollars. Mississauga joined Peel Region and the Metamorphosis Network to make the case to the provincial government for fairness for Peel Region and Mississauga taxpayers.
Learn more about Mississauga’s priorities with the provincial government by reading the City’s 2024 provincial pre-budget submission.
What are the project timelines start and completion dates?
We expect the tender document to be issued within the next few days, with work anticipated to begin in fall 2024 and be completed by fall 2025.
Where is your staging area for the project?
Stage 2 encompasses all work on the west side of Dixie Road, including the sidewalk and underground drainage. It also involves the rehabilitation of existing storm sewers through pipe lining, adjustments to maintenance holes and catch basins, as well as the construction of retaining walls on the east side of the road, south of the bridge.
Stage 3 encompasses final asphalt pavement on both sides of Dixie Road with permanent line markings.
Where is your staging area (materials) for the project?
North and South traffic lanes will be shifted to east and barriers installed protecting the work zone. All project materials etc. for the project will stored within the working zone.
Will travel lanes under the underpass be effected?
Two lanes of traffic in either direction will be maintained for most works, with short duration single lane reductions only occurring during off-peak traffic hours for select activities.
Councillor Dasko has been advised of the following information by Metrolinx:
In the event of a labour disruption, only GO train services on the Milton line and at Hamilton GO would be temporarily suspended due to the interruption of rail traffic services provided by Canadian Pacific Kansas City. All other GO lines, the UP Express and Lakeshore West line stations would not be impacted. The Canadian National Railway Company labour disruption would not affect any GO or UP Express services.
Hamilton GO customers are able to access services at West Harbour GO (approximately 1.5 km from Hamilton GO), Aldershot GO or use normally scheduled GO Bus service on Route 16.
Customers on the Milton corridor are encouraged to consider local transit options or access GO Transit services on the Lakeshore West or Kitchener corridors as an alternative. Please note that service may be busier than usual on these lines as a result of additional passengers.
We are closely monitoring this situation and will inform our customers of any changes should a labour disruption occur. Customers are encouraged to plan ahead by visiting gotransit.com before travelling.
With students heading back to school, our roads will get busier. Help prevent collisions and ensure that everyone arrives at their destination safely.

Road safety around school zones
This year, the City will install nine traffic calming projects near school zones to help reduce speeding and aggressive driving. The City uses design features like speed humps and raised pedestrian crossings to slow down vehicles.
The City also has automated speed enforcement cameras in 50 school zones to help combat speeding on streets near schools. These cameras are already in place and will rotate to other school zones throughout the school year. These cameras support the 30 km/h speed limit in school zones – an initiative that was completed in 2022.
Crossing guard program
The City has more than 215 school crossing guards at more than 160 locations who will be ready on the first day of school. Crossing guards help school children from kindergarten to fifth grade cross the road safely.
The City’s Mississauga School Traffic Safety Action Committee conducts site inspections and safety reviews at or near schools on request to help find opportunities to improve student safety and safety for all road users.
School Walking Routes program
The City has a School Walking Routes program that promotes active travel, such as walking or travelling by bike, wheelchair or other mobility devices, to and from school. School Route signs installed around the neighbourhood guide students on their way to school and alert drivers to watch for children.
Drivers driving to their destination
When driving, remember to:
- Stay alert and obey posted speed limits.
- Pay special attention near schools for pedestrians and cyclists, especially when turning and in areas with many stopped cars.
- Always follow a school crossing guard’s stop sign.
- Never proceed through crossings until students have completely crossed.
- Stop for school buses with flashing red lights, and never attempt to overtake them.
- Tune your playlist, fix your GPS and sync your Bluetooth before you leave. Once you’re behind the wheel, your attention should only be on the road.
When driving your student to school:
- Follow signage and rules, especially at drop-off and pick-up locations.
- Never pick up or drop off your student where they must cross the road between stopped cars.
- Reduce congestion and improve safety in front of the school by only driving partway to school, and walking or biking the rest of the way.
Students and families walking, cycling or taking a bus to school
Stay safe while travelling to school by:
- Planning your route in advance.
- Crossing streets only at designated crosswalks or crossrides, where possible.
- Always following your crossing guard’s instructions if they’re on your route.
- Ensuring your helmets are worn when biking, scootering or skateboarding.
- Walking your device across roads when no crossrides are available.
- Making sure to follow all railway-crossing safety rules if your school route is near a railway crossing.
- Standing back from the curb and not approaching the bus until it comes to a full stop when waiting for a school bus or MiWay bus.
