Study Area map of Coleraine Drive
Notice of study completion
August 8, 2024 – The Region of Peel has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for a grade separation of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) on Coleraine Drive in the Town of Caledon (see map). The purpose of the study was to consider grade separation improvements of the CP Rail line on Coleraine Drive, south of Old Ellwood Drive. The Study was conducted in compliance with Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Municipal Engineers Association, as amended in 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The recommended improvements include a ‘road-over-rail’ grade separation of Coleraine Drive and the CP Rail Line, and a roundabout at the Coleraine Drive and King Street West / Harvest Moon Drive intersection.
Environmental Study Report (ESR) Review Period
The ESR documents the planning, consultation, preliminary design, and decision-making process undertaken for the project and will be available for review for 42 calendar days starting August 15th, 2024, and ending on September 26th, 2024.
If you have questions or require the notice documents, please contact the project manager.

Technical studies
Use the comment sheet to provide feedback to Tareq Mahmood, Region of Peel project manager or Stephen Keen, consultant project manager.
The Project Team will review and consider the feedback received at the PIC and confirm the recommended preliminary design. The next steps of the study include the preparation of an Environmental Study Report (ESR) to document the planning, consultation, and design process. At the end of the study, the ESR will be made available for public review for a minimum of 30 calendar days and at that time, a Notice of Completion will also be issued.
Please provide written comments to Region of Peel Project Manager no later than September 26th, 2024.
