Ward 9 Development and Construction Updates

Construction is set to resume on March 31st with the installation of new playground equipment. Following installation, contractors will complete the installation of the rubber safety surface and site finishes, which will occur once the weather consistently stays above 10°C overnight, as this is necessary for proper rubber installation. Staff anticipate the playground will be completed by the end of May, weather permitting. Please stay tuned to Ward9.ca for grand opening event plans.

Please be advised: Region of Peel brings Advance Notice for the frozen water service construction project 25-1301 on various locations in Ward 9. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2025.

Peel Region is planning to replace the water service pipe to your home within the next two years Water service pipes are underground pipes that bring tap water from our watermains to your property. To complete this work, we will also need to replace your water service box (the small, round metal valve in either your driveway or lawn). We are completing this work to prevent future freezing issues which have been associated with your property’s water service pipe in the past.

Ward 9 Locations:

3062 Plum Tree Crescent
3174 Cantelon Crescent
5304 Middlebury Drive
5370 Middlebury Drive
5378 Middlebury Drive

Before construction begins
Before we start construction, you may notice several activities in your area:

We will survey your street and use temporary spray paint or flags to mark the location of underground gas, hydro, and cable on roads, driveways, and lawns.
We may drill holes in the road or municipal right-of-way (the land between the street and your water service box) to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations.
We will take pictures and record video to help us restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.
We expect these activities to take place between spring 2025 and fall 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact us.

Project Notice: Watermain Installation and Improvement
St. Richard Elementary Catholic School along Copenhagen Road

Peel Region will be working in the school zone of St. Richard Elementary Catholic School along Copenhagen Road to install a new watermain from Bendigo Crescent to Tamar Mews. Construction is scheduled to start on June 27, 2025, coinciding with the beginning of summer break, and is planned to conclude by August 29, 2025, when the break ends. Crews will finish all underground work in the school zone and commence repairs on driveways, boulevards, sod, roads, curbs, and sidewalks affected by construction activities. Crews aim to complete all construction and associated repairs in the school zone by August 29, 2025.

On April 28, 2025, a report came to Planning and Development Committee. Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting to voice their concerns. Mayor and Council supported staff’s recommendation to receive the report. Staff have been directed to report back to Planning and Development Committee within 120 days to allow the applicant to resubmit in order to resolve the outstanding development issues identified in the report.

Bridge, Culvert and Retaining Wall Renewal

The Bridge, Culvert and Retaining Wall program focuses on structural rehabilitations and replacements. For structures over watercourses, the Stormwater Team is consulted on needs or opportunities for hydraulic improvements to reduce flooding risks. The following bridge project is planned in Ward 9 this year.

A detailed condition survey has been completed for the pedestrian overpass over Battleford Road. Detailed design work is currently underway with construction to follow, tentatively scheduled for 2025. 

Aquitaine Avenue Road Safety Improvement Pilot Project Update

The City of Mississauga is proceeding with the installation of the Aquitaine Avenue Road Safety Improvement Pilot Project. The pilot project will focus on changing the current four lanes to three lanes. This traffic calming measure will help increase the comfort, accessibility and safety for all road users, including cyclists, pedestrians and drivers. It will also help reduce speeding on the roadway by narrowing the road and help keep traffic at a slower speed.

As part of the pilot, on-road protected bike lanes, dedicated vehicle parking lanes and a dedicated centre/left turn lanes will be added on various sections of Aquitaine Avenue.

Installation will occur immediately, with the removal of existing pavement markings, and installation of new pavement markings and bike lane separation flex-posts and signage. Work will mostly occur during regular construction hours (7 am to 7 pm) and there may be some quieter work happening later or overnight if required.

Argentia Road Cycle Tracks

The City is constructing cycle tracks on Argentia Road to increase comfort, accessibility and safety for all road users.

The City of Mississauga is constructing cycle tracks on Argentia Road, from Tenth Line West to the intersection east of Winston Churchill Boulevard and a multi-use trail on the east side of Winston Churchill Boulevard from Argentia Road to north of Crosscurrent Drive.

Cycle tracks are separate and raised lanes for bicycles, e-bikes and e-scooters. The cycle tracks and oder road enhances will:

Increase safety and comfort of all road users
Provide more transportation options to travel throughout the city
Connect to the existing bike lanes west of Tenth Line West
Connect to protected bike lanes under construction east of Winston Church Boulevard

Construction is currently in progress, and expected to be complete by the end of 2023. Some minor additional work will be done in 2024.

If you have any questions about this project, please contact the Field Ambassador at: Capital.FieldAmbassador@mississauga.ca

Corner Radii and Truck Aprons

Did you know, the red concrete areas on the corner of Argentia Road and Winston Churchill Boulevard are called “truck aprons”? These are a road safety element that creates a buffer between turning vehicles and pedestrians/cyclists, and slows down cars making a right turn. Pedestrians and cyclists should stay off the apron, except when crossing the road. Cars should not mount onto the apron, and stay on the asphalt roadway when turning. The rear wheels of trucks and larger vehicles may mount onto the apron, as trucks make wider turns.

Most collisions between pedestrians/cyclists and motor vehicles at intersections occur with right turning vehicles failing to yield to pedestrians/cyclists in a crosswalk/crossride. The faster a vehicle is turning, the less likely it is to yield, and the more serious the collision. Truck aprons reduce the corner radius for cars, which makes cars take the turn more slowly, and keeps them farther away from pedestrians and cyclists waiting to cross.

Note that the crosswalks markings do still need to be slightly moved back to line up with the crossing locations. As well, the cyclist crossing markings need to be installed. This should occur in May 2024, as the permanent markings require steady warmer temperatures for installation.
