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.

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.
