Arterial roads within Highway 427 industrial secondary plan area (Area 47)
Environmental assessment in partnership with the City of Brampton and Region of Peel.
The City of Brampton (City), in partnership with the Region of Peel (Region), has completed two Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) studies for the following roads:
Part A
- North-South Arterial (A2), a new north-south arterial roadway from Mayfield Road to Major Mackenzie Drive/Regional Road 50.
- Coleraine Drive from Mayfield Road to Arterial A2.
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.
- Countryside Drive from west of Clarkway Drive to Regional Road 50 including possible realignment at Regional Road 50.
Details of the Class EA Study can be accessed on this webpage. The Class EA Study has been completed and the project has moved into the next phase ‘Detailed Design & Construction’.

The Class EA Study for Part A was completed in fall 2022. Recommended improvements under Part A include:
- New north-south 6-lane arterial roadway with multi-use paths on both sides from Major Mackenzie Drive/Regional Road 50 to Mayfield Road, including at-grade intersection with Regional Road 50 until traffic operations indicate the need for a grade separation, and
- Widening of Coleraine Drive from 2 to 4 lanes with multi-use paths on both sides from Arterial A2 to Mayfield Road, including realignment of Coleraine Drive to connect with Arterial A2 west of Regional Road 50.
The Class EA Study for Part B has been completed. Recommended improvements under Part B include:
- New east-west 4-lane arterial roadway between The Gore Road and Arterial A2 to provide connectivity for future development lands between Countryside Drive and Castlemore Road.
- Widening of Countryside Drive to the south from west of Clarkway Drive to Regional Road 50 to limit impacts on existing residential property.
- A realignment of the intersection at Countryside Drive and Regional Road 50 to improve turning visibility for drivers.
- Widening of Clarkway Drive evenly about the existing centre line from Castlemore Road to Mayfield Road. Further detailed assessment of any potential impacts to Clarkway Creek will be completed during the design stage for Clarkway Drive.
Environmental Study Report – public review period – Part B
The planning, consultation and preliminary design process that was undertaken for Part B has been documented in the Environmental Study Report (ESR). The ESR will be available for public review on the project website for 30 calendar days starting on January 26, 2023 and ending on February 24, 2023. Accessible material is available upon request.
Written comments must be e-mailed or mailed to one of the project team members noted below within the 30-day review period:

In addition, a request may be made to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks for an order requiring a higher level of study or that conditions be imposed on the grounds that the requested order may prevent, mitigate or remedy adverse impacts on constitutionally protected Aboriginal and treaty rights. See Section 16 Orders for more information.
In addition, a request may be made to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks for an order requiring a higher level of study (i.e., requiring an individual/comprehensive EA approval before being able to proceed), or that conditions be imposed (i.e., requiring further studies) on the grounds that the requested order may prevent, mitigate or remedy adverse impacts on constitutionally protected Aboriginal and treaty rights. Requests on other grounds will not be considered.
Requests should specify what kind of order is being requested (request for additional conditions or a request for an individual/comprehensive environmental assessment), how an order may prevent, mitigate or remedy potential adverse impacts on Aboriginal or Treaty rights, and any information in support of the statements in the request. Requests should also include the requester contact information. This will ensure that the Ministry is able to efficiently begin reviewing the request.
Requests should be sent by February 24, 2023, in writing or by email to:
Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks
