Kennedy Road sanitary trunk sewer project
Public Information Centre (PIC) #2
The second of two Public Information Centres (PICs) was held in-person on June 25, 2025. PIC #2 presented the evaluation of alternative routes, identified the recommended preferred route and associated conceptual design, and provided opportunities for attendees to provide feedback and ask questions.
Review the display boards and provide feedback in our survey by July 9, 2025.
Evaluation of alternatives and recommended preferred route
Since PIC #1, our team completed the evaluation of alternative routes and has identified a recommended preferred route for the new sanitary trunk sewer. This information was shared at PIC #2 on June 25, 2025 (including identification and evaluation of the preferred route design concepts), and we are seeking feedback on the information presented at PIC #2. Refer to the display boards and documents.

Recommended preferred route
The recommended preferred route is Route S2: Kennedy Road including Vodden Street and Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBR) Corridor, and Route N1: Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBR) Corridor including Old School Road to Hurontario Street.
We value your input and welcome any questions, comments, or feedback related to the evaluation and the recommended preferred route. Our contact information is below.
About the Kennedy Road sanitary trunk sewer project
To help make new homes available faster, the Region of Peel is advancing critical water and wastewater infrastructure needed to meet the housing targets outlined in the “More Homes Built Faster Act” (Bill 23). By adopting a program management approach, the Region of Peel is accelerating the construction of essential water and wastewater infrastructure to meet the needs of both our community and the province.
As part of the program management approach, the Kennedy Road sanitary trunk sewer project is being undertaken and will address sewage conveyance capacity needs while supporting anticipated growth and protecting the environment.
The Kennedy Road sanitary trunk sewer project will be undertaken as a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to help ensure sewage capacity requirements are met by 2051 to support planned growth in the Region of Peel.
The Class EA Planning Process will assess and recommend the preferred route for a new large diameter sanitary trunk sewer with the study completion targeted by fall 2025. The new sanitary trunk sewer needs to be in service by 2030.
Process
The Schedule ‘C’ Study will satisfy all five phases of the Municipal Class EA process:
- Phase 1: Identify the study problem and/or opportunities.
- Phase 2: Evaluate and select the preferred route.
- Phase 3: Evaluate and select preferred design alternatives for the preferred route.
- Phase 4: Present study recommendations in an Environmental Study Report for public review.
- Phase 5: Complete study and implement recommendations.
Project timeline
The following are key dates for the study:
- May 2025: Seeking early feedback on the recommended preferred route and evaluation matrix results.
- June 25, 2025: A second PIC was held to present and seek feedback on the evaluation of short list alternatives and design concepts in addition to construction methods, recommended preferred route, proposed mitigation measures and next steps.
- Fall 2025: A third PIC will be held.
- Fall 2025: Once the study is complete, results will be published in an Environmental Study Report and will be made available for public review and comment.
- Winter 2025 – 2030: Detailed design, tender and approvals. Construction is anticipated to start in 2027.
Your input is important
Public consultation is an important part of the EA process. Two Public Information Centres (PICs) were held to present the findings of the Municipal Class EA study and provide opportunities to give feedback to the project team. Community engagement is key to the Municipal Class EA study process. Early discussions will help identify ways to reduce project impacts on residents, businesses, and commuters. We are seeking feedback on the recommended preferred route, until July 9, 2025 through an online survey.

The first of two Public Information Centres (PICs) was released virtually in December 2024. Later, an in-person PIC #1 was held on January 28, 2025. PIC #1 introduced the study and provided information on the Class EA process, Problem and Opportunity statement, long and short-list of alternatives, proposed evaluation criteria and next steps.
Virtual PIC #1
Electronic display boards, a video and a survey were made available to the public on December 4, 2024.
In-Person PIC #1
The in-person PIC #1 was held on January 28, 2025 and included the same information as the virtual PIC.
