Notice of Study Commencement
and Public Information Centre #1
Peel-Highway 427 Extension Area
Transportation Master Plan
The Study
The Peel-Highway 427 Extension Area Transportation Master Plan is a joint study between the Region of Peel, City of Brampton and Town of Caledon. This work is being done in co-ordination with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, the Region of York and the City of Vaughan. The study has been initiated to carry out a comprehensive review of the future transportation network needs in northeast Brampton and southeast Caledon. Specific goals and objectives of the study are:
- identify and develop a long-term transportation network to support municipal planning goals;
- identify the best ways to connect between the Highway 427 extension and municipal roads; and
- serve the future transportation demands in the southern Peel-York boundary area.
The Process
This joint study will be carried out through an open public process in accordance with the requirements of Phase 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process (October 2000 as amended in 2007), which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act so that the study results can serve as direct input to any subsequent EA studies that maybe deemed appropriate. The process will define problems and opportunities, consider and evaluate alternative solutions and present the evaluation process, as well as identify an optimum transportation system along the Peel-York boundary. Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Master Plan document will be submitted to Peel, Brampton and Caledon Councils for approval.
Public Consultation
Public consultation is vital to this study. We wish to ensure that anyone with an interest in this study has the opportunity to get involved and provide input into the process before any decisions are made. Opportunities for providing input will include two Public Information Centres (PICs) and direct consultation. The PICs will be held at key points during the study to present the study findings to date and will provide opportunities for input into the study. Members of the public are invited to attend the first PIC, for an introduction to the project and to give input for consideration in the project’s planning. This public meeting will present the needs assessment, the preliminary alternative solutions, and the next steps in the process. The first Public Information Centre is scheduled for:
