Dixie Road (Regional Road 4) from Queen Street Drive to Mayfield Road
Dixie Road from Queen Street to Mayfield Road is a four lane road up to Countryside Drive and a two lane rural road north of Countryside Drive up to Mayfield Road. The Regions’ Long Range Transportation Plan (September 2005) identified the need to widen this section of Dixie Road.
The Regional Municipality of Peel has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the need and feasibility of a widening and improvements on Dixie Road to address short and long Term needs related to:
- Future planned growth
- Operational and Service deficiencies
- Road and Intersection Geometrics
- Road link capacity
- Strom drainage deficiencies
The Study will also review opportunities to facilitate public transit, pedestrian and bicycle movements.
This study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of a Schedule ‘C’ undertaking as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, as amended in 2007). The Class Environmental Assessment planning process includes public and review agency consultation, evaluation of alternatives, assessment of the effects of the proposed works and identification of measures to mitigate any adverse impacts.
