Winston Churchill Boulevard
The study
The Regional Municipalities of Peel and Halton have completed a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for improvements to Winston Churchill Boulevard from Highway 401 to Embleton Road / 5 Side Road (see map). Winston Churchill Boulevard is a north-south Regional arterial road and forms the boundary between the City of Brampton and the Town of Halton Hills.
Preferred Design Concept
The purpose of the study was to identify a preferred design concept between Highway 401 and Embleton Road. As part of the Class EA, a series of technical studies were completed to evaluate the alternative solutions and alternative design concepts, as well as to identify mitigation measures to reduce impacts on the surrounding environment. The preferred design concept includes:
- Winston Churchill Boulevard widening to six lanes, with a continuous central flush median;
- 3 m multi-use path on both sides except between Highway 401 and Steeles Avenue, where there will be a sidewalk on the west side,
- 2.5 m green space between roadway and MUP where feasible;
- Extension of structural and non-structural culverts to support the widened roadway; and
- Stormwater management to include underground storage chambers, oil grit separator and green spaces for infiltration.
