NOTICE OF PRE-DESIGN FIELD INVESTIGATION Beach Street Sewage Pumping Station Diversion Aviation Road, Caven Street, East Avenue, Hampton Crescent, Lakeshore Road East, and Lakeside Avenue

By Announcement, Resources, Ward 1

NOTICE OF PRE-DESIGN FIELD INVESTIGATION
Beach Street Sewage Pumping Station Diversion Aviation Road, Caven Street, East Avenue, Hampton Crescent, Lakeshore Road East, and Lakeside Avenue

Peel Region is undertaking investigations related to the installation of a new sanitary sewer system in your area. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to repair and replace older sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services to you.

As we plan for future construction, we will be in your neighborhood conducting field investigations along Aviation Road, Caven Street, East Avenue, Hampton Crescent, Lakeshore Road East, and Lakeside Avenue.
• We will survey your street and use temporary spray paint or flags to mark the location of underground gas, hydro, and cable on roads, driveways, and lawns.
• We may drill holes to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations. These holes may be drilled in the road or the municipal right-of-way, the land owned by the municipality between the street and your water service box. (A water service box is a small, round metal valve in your driveway or lawn that typically marks your front property line.)
• We will take pictures and record video to help ensure that we restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.
We expect these activities to take place between July 2024 and May 2025.

Contractor and working hours
The work will be completed by various contractors under contract to Peel Region. The contractors normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the City of Mississauga bylaws.

Traffic impacts
There may be minor traffic disruptions during these activities. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions.

Staying informed
To receive updates on Peel Region construction projects in your area, sign up for e-notices at peelregion.ca/construction/signup to start signing up.

Information on this project can be found at https://peelregion.ca/construction/project-16-2905-7/

Thank you for your patience during this work. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Have your say on playing sports on Mississauga streets

By Food for thought

Until August 6, Mississauga residents are invited to share their thoughts on playing sports and using sports equipment on local roads by submitting the online survey.

July 8, 2024

The City is reviewing its by-laws and seeking resident feedback on playing sports and using sports equipment on local roads in Mississauga.

Currently, playing sports and using sports equipment on local roads is enforced on a complaint basis and issues are resolved through education.

Until Tuesday, August 6, Mississauga residents are invited to share their thoughts on playing sports on local roads using the online survey. The survey will help the City understand what sports are currently played on streets, how often sports are played on streets, and if residents have any feedback or concerns. Responses will inform recommendations for potential changes to the by-laws, including:

  • What sports, if any, should be permitted on Mississauga streets.
  • If allowed, when and where street sports should be permitted in Mississauga.
  • Where sports equipment should be stored when not in use.
  • How the updated by-laws will be enforced.

For more information and to complete the survey, visit mississauga.ca/street-sports.

Background

In June 2023, Mississauga City Council passed a motion directing staff to produce a report that reviews the City’s current by-laws as they relate to sports and sports equipment on roads in Mississauga. The results of this survey will inform this report which will consider amending the City’s Traffic By-law and Highway Obstruction By-law to permit sports on local streets where it can be done in a safe and responsible manner. The staff report will be brought to Council for review in the fall.

Launch of Project Lantern

By Announcement, Resources

In Peel Region, there are currently over 30,000 persons living with dementia, and of these, an estimated 21,423 persons suffer specifically from Alzheimer’s. According to ASP, 60% of all persons living with dementia will become lost at some point and approximately 50% of those with dementia missing beyond 24 hours will be located injured or deceased.

By partnering with ASP through a Memorandum of Understanding, PRP’s Community Safety and Well-being Command has established a reciprocal referral process to connect persons living with Alzheimer’s with the support they need from ASP. When persons living with dementia do go missing, a process is in place to more effectively deploy resources for significantly safer outcomes. Through our Divisional Mobilization Unit (DMU), officers will conduct in-person visits to people and their families experiencing dementia. Their focus will be on offering support, making referrals, assisting with completing the Vulnerable Person Registry, and providing safeguarding information to help prevent incidents of individuals going missing.

Peel Regional Police Update: Road Safety Initiatives

By Announcement, Resources

Road safety is a top priority for Peel Regional Police (PRP) and over the course of the summer, we will continue our efforts to curb illegal street racing and high-speed driving. These efforts aim to change poor and aggressive driver behaviour and those who compromise road safety will be subject to charges and penalties.

Since the start of 2024, 15 people have lost their lives in Peel Region due to road-related incidents – all of these deaths were preventable and we are taking increased action. In the first half of this year, Peel Regional Police has issued over 20,000 Highway Traffic Act charges, including:

  • 3800+ for speeding
  • 400+ for careless driving
  • 1200+ for mufflers causing unnecessary noise
  • 1300+ for stunt driving and racing

We encourage you to join us in helping promote safe driving by re-sharing this post: https://x.com/PeelPolice/status/1806774355323429177

The community is also encouraged to report concerning aggressive driving or street racing activities by contacting PRP at 905-453-3311 or through the Online Reporting Portal. For more information, visit: peelpolice.ca/roadsafety.
