Project 18-2441 November 22, 2024 update

Streets affected: Southcreek Road and Etobicoke Valley Dog Park

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. View the Environmental Assessment for more information.

Construction schedule

Restoration of the park is almost complete. However, due to the significant rainfall events that occurred in July and August, the project end date has been further delayed. We anticipate that the park will be open in late Spring 2025 to early Summer 2025. This will ensure that all landscaping and grassed areas are fully restored before opening the park to the public. All efforts will be made to open the Dog Park at the earliest opportunity.

All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

Contractor and working hours

The work is being completed by EBC Inc. and supported by Arcadis, both under contract to Peel Region. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. To complete the work on time, there may be times when work will be completed later into the evening or on Saturdays. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your neighbourhood to be under construction for a longer period of time. We will attempt to minimize overnight work whenever possible.

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 in late Spring 2025 to early Summer 2025. Trail closure signs are posted on site. Alternate dog park locations can be found by visiting mississauga.ca/events-and-attractions/parks/find-a-park/.

Once all work is completed and the dog park is reopened, we will notify residents through an advertisement in the local newspaper and by distributing notices to the surrounding area.

Traffic and parking

We will work to manage traffic in the area for 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.

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 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 Federal and Provincial governments and has committed $8 million of combined funding toward this Peel Region project.
