Peel Region to invest additional $130 million to expand capacity at G.E. Booth Water Resource Recovery Facility

By Announcement, Planning & Development, Resources

Increased capacity will accommodate more housing in support of Bill 23

Peel Region council approved an additional investment of $130 million to increase wastewater capacity by 40 million litres per day (MLD), at the G.E. Booth Water Resource Recovery Facility, (WWRF). An additional 40 MLD of flow capacity can support additional housing units of between 28,000 and 47,000, depending on the type of development.

Peel Region staff and their consultant have identified opportunities to make increased capacity available sooner by advancing construction through their current capital contractors, ROMAG Contracting Ltd. and CIMA Canada Inc. This will result in additional capacity being available by 2028 instead of 2039, provide better value for tax dollars and support project growth targets from Bill 23.

Peel staff are working on the new capital works master plan, scheduled for completion in 2025, which includes an assessment of the infrastructure required to meet Bill 23 growth projections. As part of this planning work staff are identifying projects that can be advanced earlier. The investment to increase capacity at G.E. Booth is one such project.

The G.E. Booth (Lakeview) Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) is the Region of Peel’s largest wastewater treatment plant.  The facility originally went into service in 1955 and has undergone multiple expansions and currently has a capacity of 518 MLD. The plant serves the eastern portion of the Region of Peel and part of York Region. The plant is designed to treat municipal wastewater from residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

Hazel McCallion Line – Construction Liaison Committee Update

By Announcement, Hurontario LRT, Planning & Development, Resources, Ward 1

ONGOING and UPCOMING CONSTRUCTION:

The 2024 construction year is in full swing as crews remain busy along the project corridor in Mississauga South. Most of this work involves completing utility relocation and upgrades on both sides of Hurontario Street. Once the utility works wrap up in the coming months, road widening activities on both sides of Hurontario Street will begin, making room for guideway construction and track installation in the center of the roadway. Residents and businesses can expect to see:

  •  changes to the existing boulevard, driveways, sidewalks; and
  • improvements to the multi-use pathway on the east side of the street.

Here’s a snippet of ongoing and upcoming construction activities you can expect for February and March:

  • The new station at Port Credit is starting to take shape. At the platform level, work continues with forming and pouring the walls and at the street level, mechanical and electrical installation is nearing completion.
  • Alectra duct bank works continue along the boulevard on the west side of Hurontario Street between Mineola Road West and Indian Valley Trail. These works are completed in conjunction with the installation of new hydro poles and the stringing of aerial cables along the east side of Hurontario Street between Mineola and Pinewood Trail. Once complete, the plan is to remove the old hydro poles along the west side of the road and convert the electrical service to those properties from aerial to underground. In doing so, we are working with individual property owners and businesses to access their property and construct the duct banks up to their electrical metre bases. To do this work safely and efficiently, there will be temporary power outages and driveway impacts to prepare for these upgrades to the delivery of service.
  • Construction of a new Bell manhole northwest at Pinetree Way is ongoing and will continue until March 2024.
  • Connections for Rogers telecoms between Park Street and Eaglewood Boulevard are ongoing and expected to be complete by mid to late February.
  • While most of the water, storm, and sanitary infrastructure has already been upgraded and relocated in this area, there are a few minor areas remaining to install storm and sanitary pending the decommissioning and demolition of Inglewood and the handover of Eaglewood as well as at the new station at Port Credit.

  • The new bridge structure is complete at Eaglewood Boulevard and a small section of guideway and track has been constructed and installed at the future intersection. We are working with the City of Mississauga on the installation of temporary traffic signals before decommissioning the existing intersection at Inglewood Drive. Once complete, the new intersection will be handed over to the City of Mississauga which is expected in March.
  • Once Eaglewood structure is commissioned and Inglewood structure is decommissioned, a small section of flood walls and creek bed will be completed north of the new Eaglewood intersection.
  • Installation of an acoustic fence is expected to take place in February along the east side of Hurontario Street north of the plaza at Eaglewood to just south of Mineola Road East. The fence is expected to be completed by early March.

City-wide Coyote Information Session – Links to Meeting February 15th, 2024

By Announcement, Resources

On February 15th, we held our first City-wide Coyote information session and it was a very positive meeting.

We had approximately 90 individuals join us online and 30 in-person. Feedback received from those online and in the room was that the presentation was thorough, informative and educational. Many who attended expressed their gratitude for the City’s efforts regarding our coyote management plan and the steps we are taking to help residents and coyotes co-exist in our urban environment.

We received a lot of good engagement during the question and answer period. Residents asked thoughtful questions about best practices around coyote sightings and actions to take; safe guarding smaller pets; coyote habits and population size in Mississauga, how to report a coyote sighting along with many more.

The session was recorded and is now posted on the City’s YouTube channel as well as the City’s news room. Share with any who missed the session or are seeking more information regarding coyotes.

CITY OF MISSISSAUGA – NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT

By Announcement, Resources, Ward 1

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study:
Cooksville Creek South of Lakeshore Road

WHAT?
• The City of Mississauga is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the Cooksville Creek Erosion Control Project South of Lakeshore Road.

WHY?
• The City of Mississauga recognizes that this section of Cooksville Creek has been impacted by recent storm events and high lake levels and is in need of rehabilitation. Plans will also need to consider the deteriorated condition of the adjacent city trail through Helen Molasy Memorial Park that sits above the east bank of the creek, as well as the neighbouring properties which have experienced ongoing drainage issues.

HOW?
• The study will examine this section of the Cooksville Creek and Helen Molasy Trail to identify existing problems, potential risks, and opportunities for restoration and drainage improvements.
• Through the Class EA process, the Study Team will develop and evaluate multiple alternative solutions and refine the options through public and agency consultation (see below). The Study Team will then select a Preferred Alternative.
• At the end of the study, a Project File, documenting the study process will be available for public review.
• Following completion of the Class EA Study, designs will be developed and implemented in accordance with study recommendations.

GET INVOLVED!
• Consultation is an important part of the Class EA process. Public input and comment are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project.
• A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held to present the study findings, to consider alternative solutions, and to answer any questions you may have. Details regarding the PIC will be advertised publicly as the study progresses.
• Project information will be made available on the City’s project website:
https://www.mississauga.ca/projects-and-strategies/environmental-assessments/cooksville-creek-erosion-control-south-of-lakeshore-road/
