Mayfield Road (r.r #14) From Airport Road to Coleraine Drive
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

The Study

The Regional Municipality of Peel is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Mayfield Road, from Airport Road to Coleraine Drive, bordering the City of Brampton and the Town of Caledon. Mayfield Road is a major east-west arterial road that is experiencing increased traffic growth. As a result, improvements are being considered which may include a combination of road widening, intersection improvements, horizontal and vertical realignments, replacement or expansion of various watercourse structures, pavement rehabilitation, and mitigation of environmental impacts (natural and social).

A comprehensive and environmentally sound planning process, that incorporates public and agency consultation and involves a wide variety of stakeholders, is required. The Study Area is shown on the plan provided below.

The Process

This Study is being conducted as a Schedule ‘C’ project, in accordance with the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000 as amended in 2007) guideline. ”. The class EA process includes public and review agency consultation, evaluation of alternatives, assessment of the impacts of any proposed undertakings, and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any adverse impacts. Upon completion of this Study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR), documenting the process, will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and will be available for public review for a period of 30 calendar days.

Public Information Centre

Public consultation is vital to this Study. We want to ensure that anyone with an interest in this Study has the opportunity to get involved and provide input, before any decisions are made on a preferred solution or design concept.

As part of this Study, two (2) Public Information Centres (PICs) are planned.  The first PIC is scheduled for:

This first PIC will consist of an informal “drop-in” center with displays showing background information, a “Problem Statement” and justification for the project, various preliminary alternative solutions, and the proposed evaluation criteria that will be used to select the preferred design. Representatives from the Region and the Consultant will be present to answer questions and discuss the next steps in the Study.
