Announcement

Peel Region has been working in your area to install a new sanitary trunk sewer offline storage facility, and properly retire an existing sanitary trunk sewer, as shown on the attached map.
To respond to climate change and meet the demands of a growing population, we are constructing an underground facility that will store wastewater during large rain events. (For more information, see peelregion.ca/public-works/environmental-assessments/mississauga/east-trunk-ss-offline-storage-facility.asp for Environmental Assessment.)

Construction schedule
Work is progressing with most of the underground works completed. However, all remaining work and restoration is now scheduled to be completed in Fall 2024. All efforts will be made to open the Dog Park at our earliest opportunity.
All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

Contractor and working hours
The work is being completed by EBC Inc. and supported by Arcadis (previously known as IBI Group), both under contract to Peel Region. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday.
These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. To complete the work on time, there may be times when work will be completed later into the evening or on Saturdays. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your neighbourhood to be under construction for a longer period of time. We will attempt to minimize overnight work whenever possible.

Closure of Etobicoke Valley Dog Park and associated trails
To keep pedestrians and their pets safe, the Etobicoke Valley Dog Park and the trails leading to the dog park will continue to be closed until all work is completed in Fall 2024. Trail closure signs are posted on site. Alternate dog park locations can be found by visiting mississauga.ca/events-andattractions/parks/find-a-park/

Once all work is completed and the dog park is reopened, we will notify residents through an advertisement in the local newspaper and by distributing notices to the surrounding area.

Traffic and parking
We will work to manage traffic in the area for the safety of workers, road users and residents.
• Temporary lane restrictions may be required on Dundas Street East near the active construction area to complete the work safely. As a result, road users may experience delays on Dundas Street East.
• The south portion of Southcreek Road will remain closed to traffic, as well as the Etobicoke Valley Dog Park’s parking lot. Access to businesses will be maintained.
• There will be no on-street parking on Southcreek Road during construction.
• Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

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.

Project funding
The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) is a cost-shared infrastructure funding program between the Federal and Provincial governments and has committed $8 million of combined funding toward this Peel Region project.

The Study
Peel Region has initiated a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal ClassEnvironmental Assessment (Class EA) for the reservoir expansion at the Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant (WTP) (See Figure). The approximate limits of the study area include the area around the Arthur P. Kennedy WTP from Lakeshore Road East southerly to Lake Ontario, and from just east of Montbeck Crescent to East Avenue extending to the eastern limits of the Douglas Kennedy Park.

Peel’s Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2020) and updated 2051 population forecast identified that the treated water storage is insufficient at this WTP. The purpose of this project is to identify a preferred solution and design concept that provides a cost-effective and environmentally sound means of providing additional treated water storage to ensure long-term reliable water treatment and supply of this lake-based system.

The Process
The Class EA study will be conducted in accordance with the approved requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project as described in the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class EA document (October 2000, as amended). A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders (Indigenous communities, public, landowners and agencies). Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held throughout the Study to provide an update, as well as an opportunity to provide comments. The first PIC held on October 18th, 2023, provided a summary of the background information, the need and justification, and an overview of the alternative solutions being considered.

Public Information Centre
The second PIC will be held on April 17, 2024. The purpose of this PIC is to update the public on the project’s status and advise stakeholders of the preliminary preferred solution. The PIC will also provide an opportunity for those who are interested to provide their feedback on the project. We invite you to drop-in during this time.

The PIC will take place as follows:
Date: April 17, 2024
(Drop-in Centre Format)
Time: 6 to 8 p.m.
Location: Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant
920 East Ave
Mississauga
2nd Floor Training Room

The material will be made available on April 18, 2024. Comments will be received until May 1, 2024.
