Kennedy Road sanitary trunk sewer project
Advance Notice and Pre-Design Field Investigation
We are conducting geotechnical, hydrogeological and subsurface utility engineering field investigation along the recommended preferred route on Kennedy Road, Queen Street E, Vodden Street E, former Orangeville-Brampton Railway Corridor, Bovaird Drive W, Old School Road and Hurontario Street. For more information, refer to the project webpage.
Geotechnical field investigation
We will be conducting field investigations along the Orangeville-Brampton Railway corridor, between Old School Road and Vodden Street West. For more information, refer to the project webpage.
Public Information Centre No. 3
The third and final Public Information Centre (PIC) will take place on Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Paul Palleschi Recreation Centre (30 Loafers Lake Lane, Brampton, ON) in Meeting Room 2. We will present the results of the completed evaluation of construction methods and preliminary shaft locations, with opportunities to provide feedback and ask questions.
PIC 3 documents
Your feedback is important to us. Complete the survey by January 5, 2026.
Evaluation of alternatives and recommended preferred route
Since PIC No. 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 No. 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 No. 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 support growth in Central Brampton and help make new homes available faster, Peel Region is advancing the water and wastewater infrastructure needed to serve our community—now and into the future. A program management approach is being used to deliver this work more efficiently.
As part of the Flow | Central Brampton Program, the Kennedy Road sanitary trunk sewer project is being undertaken to address sewage conveyance capacity needs while supporting anticipated growth and protecting the environment.
The Kennedy Road sanitary trunk sewer project is being completed through a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study, which assesses and recommends the preferred route for a new large diameter sanitary trunk sewer. The Environmental Study Report is expected to be published in Summer 2026, with the new sanitary trunk sewer planned 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.
- December 11, 2025: A third PIC was held to present the results of the completed evaluation of construction methods and preliminary shaft locations.
- Summer 2026: 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 to 2030: Detailed design, tender and approvals. Construction is anticipated to start in 2028.
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.
