PROJECT UPDATE Storm Sewer Rehabilitation At Dixie Road and Dundas Street – November 8, 2023, from 7pm until 7am

By Announcement, Resources, Ward 1

Peel Region is working in your neighbourhood to rehabilitate the storm sewer on Dixie Road at Dundas Street.

The City of Mississauga, under the Noise Bylaw, is allowing work to be done by our contractor overnight. This work will take place overnight to rehabilitate the storm sewer on Dixie Road and to minimize the impact of traffic congestion.  We apologize in advance for any inconveniences caused by this work.

Schedule

This overnight work is expected to take place for one evening, November 8, 2023, from 7pm until 7am. Additional nights may be required due to unpredictable delays, such as poor weather conditions.

Traffic impacts

This work will require a lane closure of north bound Lane at Dixie Road south of  Dundas Street from 7pm to 7am . Signage will be available for detour route directions.

Noise

We do not anticipate significant noise or vibrations above normal daytime traffic levels during these operations. Efforts will be made to reduce impacts to 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. To learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones, visit peelregion.ca/workzonesafety

How the City Notifies Residents and Handles Locates for Street Work

By Food for thought, Resources, Ward 1

When the City plans maintenance or construction work in a particular street or neighborhood, it’s crucial to keep residents and homeowners informed about the process.

Notification Process

To ensure that residents and homeowners are well-informed about upcoming maintenance work that may affect their properties, the City follows a notification process. Notices are distributed via hand-delivered letters, and here’s how it works:

Hand-Delivered Letters: The City prepares notification letters detailing the planned maintenance work and its potential impact. These letters are hand-delivered to the residents and homeowners. In some cases, when work affects businesses, staff will personally enter the premises to drop off the notices.

Timeline: The City strives to deliver these notices at least one week before the commencement of the work. This advanced notice allows residents and homeowners to make necessary preparations or adjustments to accommodate the upcoming construction.

Extenuating Circumstances: While the City aims for timely communication, there can be extenuating circumstances. For instance, if the scope of work expands after the crew has started, staff will make efforts to notify residents on-site about the changes. The goal is to keep everyone informed and minimize disruptions.

Locates

Before any construction work begins, it’s essential to ensure that underground utilities and infrastructure are marked to prevent accidental damage. Here’s how the City handles locates:

Contractor Responsibility: The responsibility for obtaining locates falls on the contractor hired to perform the construction or maintenance work. They must request locates from the Ontario One Call service, which acts as a central point of contact for locating underground utilities.

Utility Locates: Once contacted, each utility company is obliged to locate their underground infrastructure within the specified work area. This step is crucial for the safety of both the construction crew and the existing utilities.

Timing: Contractors usually request locates well in advance of the scheduled work. This practice is based on past experiences where delays in obtaining locates have occurred. This proactive approach ensures that locates are ready when construction work is scheduled to start.

The City is committed to keeping residents and homeowners informed about upcoming maintenance and construction work that may impact their properties. While there may be instances of long-term delays, these are often part of the preparation process to ensure the work is completed efficiently and safely.

Continuous improvements at G.E. Booth water resource recovery facility

By Resources, Ward 1

The G.E. Booth water resource recovery facility in east Mississauga, is designed to process an average of 518 ML per day (114 million gallons/day) of wastewater from homes and businesses in Bolton, Caledon East, Brampton and parts of Mississauga, as well as some areas of York Region and the City of Toronto. As the facility is integral to providing safe and effective wastewater treatment Peel Regional council approved approximately $190 million to implement additional odour control works at the facility.

Modernizing for improved odour control

G.E. Booth has always been actively managing odours emitting from the treatment plant. In 2020, Peel Region began taking significant steps forward to modernize the plant and improve the level of service for odour emissions to the local community, including the construction of improved odour control facilities.
Demolition of several aging facilities within the plant was completed in 2021 to clear the way for these enhancements.

The implementation of these new odour treatment facilities will be completed in three phases. The first was put into service in 2021 and the second and third will come online in 2026 and 2027. Approximately half of the odour mitigation program is scheduled to be completed by 2026, with the bulk of the work being completed by 2027.

Primary Clarifier tanks are the largest contributing factor to community odour complaints. Design and construction of buildings to cover these tanks is underway and should be in full service by 2027. The site has 13 of these primary tanks. In addition, Peel’s water resource recovery facilities are constantly being upgraded to add the newest technology and support growth in Peel.

Once all the odour mitigation work is completed at G.E Booth, we can expect over 90 percent average odour emissions reduction. In fact, by 2027 over 1,000 acres of land the previously experienced odour will have close to zero odour with the completion of this project.

UPDATE: TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE SOUTH SERVICE ROAD BETWEEN OGDEN AVENUE TO CAWTHRA ROAD – Status REOPENED

By Resources, Ward 1

UPDATE from contractor GHD for the Ministry of Transportation Project:

We are writing to provide a quick update on the ongoing sanitary and storm work at Ogden Ave and South Service Road intersection.

Unfortunately, the contractor was not able to complete the work as planned and faced unexpected challenges related to complex underground utility conflicts while working on the sanitary infrastructure. Due to these unforeseen issues and with the fast-approaching Christmas break, the decision has been made to open the intersection temporarily on Dec 20, 2023, and remove the detour, and close the intersection again after the holidays to efficiently complete the remaining sanitary & storm work. The details of the closures are:

Closed from Jan. 8th to Jan. 26th , 2024 – SSR/Ogden MH1252 Storm Installation

Re-opened as of January 24th, 2024 at noon.

-SSR closure at Ogden on Jan. 8th, 2024, including detour installation

-realign water main to accommodate proposed storm MH1252 (as per response to IR#401)

-complete storm MH1252 and adjacent pipe runs

Just a heads up, the contractor has also provided closure dates for the completion of work on NSR/Westfield & Insley Road; however, this work will commence after the completion of the Ogden & SSR intersection work.

Closed from Jan. 29th to Mar. 1st, 2024 – Westfield/Insley at NSR Sanitary Installation

-mobilize to Westfield/NSR on Jan. 29th and commence Sanitary work

-Feb. 5th to Feb. 16th – Westfield Rd. closure at NSR

-Feb. 19th to Mar. 1st – NSR closure at Insley Rd.
