Steeles Avenue noise wall replacement
Steeles Avenue from Hartford Trail to McMurchy Avenue South
Background
The Region of Peel is in the design stage of Private Noise Wall Conversion Program for your area along Steeles Avenue between Hartford Trail and McMurchy Avenue South.
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.
mWooden (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 impact on the number of trees required to be cut down for either of the material options is 5 to 8 trees.
Examples of wood and concrete noise reduction 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.
