Project 15-1138 - April 8, 2024 update

Streets affected: Meadowvale Boulevard and Totoredaca Dog Park.

Last October, we notified that Peel Region will be working in your area to construct a new watermain along Meadowvale Boulevard, as shown outlined in blue on the map below. Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your area. As our population grows, we need to build larger watermains to keep providing high quality water services.

Construction schedule

Construction in the area has been ongoing since in January 2024 and is set to be completed by Fall of 2024. To date, we have made considerable efforts to limit the amount of closure time for the park access and have been successful in keeping access open to date. However, the contractor will soon be constructing open-cut watermain across the entrance to Totoredaca Dog Park. We can expect access to be closed from May 13th to June 7th. This timeline is an estimate, as weather and other unexpected events may impact our timelines. All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

Project details and working hours

The work will be completed by Ward & Burke and supported by consultant Ainley Group, both under contract to Peel Region. This work affecting the access to the park will be completed by open cut methodology that requires digging a trench.

Trenching work will be completed along the frontage of the dog park fence line within the road right-of-way. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday for works completed by trenching methodology. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your area to be under construction for a longer period of time.

Traffic impacts

We may need to temporarily reduce traffic lanes during construction. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions.

Areas impacted by construction

Installing watermains usually requires digging a trench within the municipal right-of-way, which includes the street and the land owned by the municipality between the private property and the street. There will be temporary impacts along the road way adjacent to the park while the watermain is being installed. This trench might cause temporary damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, lawns, and the bottom of driveways within the municipal right-of-way.

Any damage caused by Peel Region’s construction will be repaired.

Vibrations

You could feel slight vibrations from the construction work.

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. Learn how to stay safe in construction zones.

Keeping you informed

We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans.
