About the study
The Region of Peel has initiated a Schedule “B” Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the drainage improvements of Highway 50 from Mayfield Road to Healey Road, in the Town of Caledon. The culverts and drainage ditches are in poor condition and require improvement and upgrading. To address this, the study will consider best industry practices, satisfy climate change requirements and comply with existing and future regulatory requirements.
As part of the project, active transportation improvements (i.e. pedestrian and cycling amenities) along the corridor will also be developed in accordance with the recommendations of the Region’s Sustainable Transportation Strategy (STS).
The project is being completed as a Schedule “B” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015). As such, public and technical agency consultation will be fundamental in developing the study recommendations.
The study will take approximately two years to complete. The Region wants to ensure that anyone with an interest in this study has the opportunity to be involved and to provide input. As the study progresses, the project materials will be posted here for your review.
Due to the current COVID-19 Provincial restrictions, in-person public consultation sessions cannot be held at this time. Alternative solutions, evaluation of alternatives and recommended improvements will be presented in PIC 2 materials. Further details will be provided at the appropriate time.
