Project 18-2441 - August 7, 2025 update
Streets affected: Southcreek Road and Etobicoke Valley Dog Park.
Project update - revised completion date
Peel Region has been working in your area to install a new sanitary trunk sewer offline storage facility and properly retire an existing sanitary trunk sewer. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet.
To respond to climate change and meet the demands of a growing population, we are constructing an underground facility that will store wastewater during large rain events. Refer to the Environmental Assessment for more information.
Restoration schedule
This project has been further delayed due to unexpected circumstances. We now anticipate that the park will be open from late summer 2025 to Fall 2025. All efforts will be made to open the Dog Park at the earliest opportunity.
All work is under warranty for 2 years from the completion date.
Contractor working hours
The work is being completed by EBC Inc. under contract to Peel Region. Working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws and help reduce the construction time in your area. There may be times when work will be completed later into the evening or on Saturdays.
Closure of Etobicoke Valley Dog Park and associated trails
To keep pedestrians and their pets safe, the Etobicoke Valley Dog Park and the trails leading to the dog park will continue to be closed until all work is completed from late Summer 2025 to Fall 2025. Trail closure signs are posted on site. Find alternate dog park locations.
Traffic and parking
We will work to manage traffic in the area to ensure the safety of workers, road users and residents.
- Temporary lane restrictions may be required on Dundas Street East near the active construction area to complete the work safely. As a result, road users may experience delays on Dundas Street East.
- The south portion of Southcreek Road will remain closed to traffic, as well as the Etobicoke Valley Dog Park’s parking lot. Access to businesses will be maintained.
- There will be no on-street parking on Southcreek Road during construction. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Construction safety
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe. Be aware of your surroundings when driving, walking, or biking near the construction area. Watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, and consider other routes. Learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones.
Project funding
The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) is a cost-shared infrastructure funding program between the Government of Canada and provincial governments which has committed $8 million of combined funding toward this Peel Region project.
