Project 21-4517 - May 2023 update
Streets affected: Derry Road from Atwood Lane to Meadowvale Conservation Area
Project updates
- November 2022: Finalizing design and construction anticipated to start spring 2023
- June 2022: Finalizing design and construction anticipated to start summer 2022
Background
The Region of Peel is in the design stage of Private Noise Wall Conversion Program for your area along Derry Road between Atwood Lane and Meadowvale Conservation Area.
Under the Program, there is no cost to you for this noise wall replacement and its future maintenance, as after conversion, these noise walls will become the Region’s responsibility.
Wooden (cedar) or composite concrete noise walls
The existing noise walls material is wood and can be replaced with either concrete panels or cedar wood. For either material, noise reduction properties and wall height will remain similar to the existing wall. The main difference is the impact on the number of trees required to be cut down:
- 110 – 115 trees to be removed for concrete noise walls
- 70 – 75 trees to be removed for wood noise walls
Precast concrete sound wall – Dixie Road (from Clark Boulevard to Birchbank Road), Brampton
Precast concrete sound wall – Finch Avenue West (from Darcel Avenue to Highway 427), Mississauga
Wood noise wall – Erin Mills (South of Dundas Street West), Mississauga
Wood noise wall – Dundas Street West, at Erin Mills, Mississauga
See the material comparison chart for more information.
We need your input
Public consultation is important to the success of this project. We invite you to engage with us, discuss your concerns, and provide your feedback on the alternatives (concrete vs. wood) of the replacement noise walls material.
Please provide your feedback by Monday, April 26, 2021 by email or by phone at the contacts listed below. Due to the current COVID-19 Provincial restrictions, a public consultation session cannot be held. The project team will review and consider the feedback received in selecting the noise wall replacement material. The Region will support the noise wall material option that is chosen by the majority of respondents (50%+).
Feedback results
The following is the summary of the results received from the participants that provided feedback for the Noise Walls material preference at this location:
