The study
The City of Brampton (City), in partnership with the Region of Peel (Region), is conducting two Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessments (MCEA) for the following roads:
Part A
- North-South Arterial (Arterial A2), a new north-south arterial roadway from Mayfield Road to Major Mackenzie Drive/Regional Road 50.
- Coleraine Drive from Arterial A2 to Mayfield Road including possible realignment at Arterial A2 west of Regional Road 50.
Part B
- East-West (E-W) Arterial, a new east-west minor arterial roadway from The Gore Road to Arterial A2.
- Clarkway Drive from Castlemore Road to Mayfield Road.

This notice is in relation to Part A only. A separate notice will be issued for Part B in Spring 2020.
The process
The City of Brampton completed the Highway 427 Industrial Secondary Plan (Area 47) Transportation Master Plan Study which fulfilled the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the MCEA process. The City and the Region are proceeding with Phases 3 and 4 of the Municipal Class EA process as part of this study. Both studies are being carried out in accordance with the requirements outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) MCEA document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Consultation with stakeholders is a key component of the study. As part of the study, multiple Public Information Centres (PICs) were planned to provide an opportunity for the public and interested stakeholders to learn more about the study and provide input and comments on the preliminary investigations, the need for improvements and the assessment of the preliminary design alternatives.
The first PIC was held on November 24, 2016 and included both Part A and Part B. Since then a number of design alternatives were developed and evaluated. The purpose of PIC No. 2 is to present the preliminary preferred alternative for Part A and to gather public input. The second PIC has been arranged as follows:
November 14, 2019, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Gore Meadows Community Centre - Community Room (10150 The Gore Rd, Brampton, ON L6P 0A6)
Anyone with an interest in this study is invited to attend and participate. If you cannot attend and would like to provide comments, please forward all comments by November 29, 2019 to one of the project team members listed below. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and made available for public review for a 30-day period.
