There are currently @42 street locations in the City of Mississauga where such Traffic Calming Devices are placed.

Thursday, Nov. 4th, 2021 Meeting with City Staff on "Increasing Housing Choices in Neighbourhoods Study"

The AHHRA (Applewood Hills & Heights RA) joined with the RHA (Rockwood Homeowners - neighbouring north of Burnhamthorpe from Dixie to the Etobicoke border) and requested to meet with the City of Mississauga team regarding the City of Mississauga's "Increasing Housing Choices in Neighbourhoods Study".

The meeting date has been set and scheduled for this Thursday, November 4th from 7 pm - 8 pm. Please take a few moments to learn more about this study by viewing the following: https://yoursay.mississauga.ca/increasing-housing-choices-in-neighbourhoods-study

If you would like to view and or take the City's survey which has now been extended to December 31st, 2021, please go to https://yoursay.mississauga.ca/increasing-housing-choices-in-neighbourhoods-study/survey_tools/ihcn-survey By reviewing this survey, you will also get a better idea of what type of housing options are being considered/reviewed by the City staff and give your feedback as well.

Please note some of the questions that we have been asked to consider in preparation for this Thursday's meeting as noted below:

Please share [the] three kinds of housing needs or stories from each community? For example, most residents in Ward 3 are older and would like to stay within their current neighbourhoods because it’s familiar to them and they have memories there. That familiarity can also help provide a sense of security. These are the kinds of housing stories we’d like to know more about.

What are your communities looking to get out of this meeting?

Is it more information on the Increasing Housing Choices in Neighbourhood Study?

To provide more feedback on their housing needs and tell us their housing stories?

To give us feedback on what we should consider as we continue with the study? Something else?

This meeting is a very important one for all residents of Mississauga as the City is looking for feedback from residents for the City's plans in finding alternatives and new ways in providing affordable housing options in Mississauga.

If you would like to join, please email the AHHRA before this Thursday and the meeting's link will be emailed to you. It is hoped that as many Applewood residents as possible will join so that as many people as possible from our community are informed.   As well, all who would like to give their feedback you will have this opportunity to do so directly to the City's staff/team and Ward Councillor who are involved in this study.

Sept. 9, 2021 Decision made by City staff for speed humps on Golden Orchard

Ward Councillor Fonseca has informed the AHHRA that the decision made by City staff is to have 8 split/speed humps placed on  Golden Orchard from Bloor to Burnhamthorpe.  Effort was made by the AHHRA with request for the number to be reduced by 1 or 2 as over 25 local residents in the area expressed concerns.  A community meeting was also held on August 24th.  However, after consideration by City staff the decision has remained that for the speed humps to be most effective in slowing down of vehicle speed there needs to be 8.  Consideration of even one less would have been preferred and appreciated in consideration of the 25+ residents who live either on Golden Orchard or on one of the adjacent street.  The plan is for these speed humps to be placed by the end of the 2021 construction year.

Community Meeting August 24th, 7 pm - 8 pm to discuss the Speed Bumps on Golden Orchard from Burnhamthorpe to Bloor

On behalf of AHHRA members who had expressed concerns on the total number of 8 speed bumps that are to be placed on Golden Orchard between Burnhamthorpe and Bloor Street, the AHHRA had requested that a community meeting be held with Councillor Fonseca and City Road Safety supervisor Colin Patterson via correspondence at the June 23, 2021 General Committee meeting to discuss the plan for the speed bumps and reducing the total of 8 to a lesser number.

This request has been approved; and, the Councillor's office has now scheduled a community meeting to discuss this matter.

To register for this community meeting to be held on Tues. August 24th, from 7 pm - 8 pm regarding the Traffic Calming Speed bumps on Golden Orchard from Burnhamthorpe to Bloor Street to discuss this matter as well as reducing the number of speed bumps from 8 to a lesser number, please go to https://mississauga.webex.com/webappng/sites/mississauga/meeting/info/e2760426995344b8aa6f4b7a03cf1308?isPopupRegisterView=true The password to key in when prompted is: Ward3

The Region of Peel has provided an update on the Phase 2 work being done for the Cawthra Rd. Sanitary Sewer and Watermain - Residents.  

November 4, 2019 Projects: 18-2252 and 15-1345

CONSTRUCTION WORK STARTING IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD

We have started construction of the Cawthra Rd. Sanitary Sewer and Watermain, Phase 2. This is part of the Region of Peel’s multi-phased project to reduce basement flooding by diverting wastewater flow away from areas prone to surcharging, expand sanitary sewer capacity, and upgrade the water system capacity and reliability.

The scope of the Phase 2 project includes:

Installing 1500mm (5 feet) diameter sanitary sewer on Cawthra Rd from Burnhamthorpe Rd E to Bloor St, by tunnelling.

Installing 1200mm (4 feet) diameter sanitary sewer on Bloor St W from Mississauga Valley Blvd to Cawthra Rd, by tunnelling. 

Installing smaller diameter sanitary sewers and watermains along various adjacent streets, by the open cut method.

SCHEDULE

Construction started in November 2019 and will be substantially completed by January 2021.

REDUCING THE IMPACT OF CONSTRUCTION

We will manage traffic to minimize disruption to vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. 

Regular working hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. We may extend working hours for tunneling activities.

It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we need to shut off your water. Occasionally, we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours.

TRAFFIC, DRIVEWAY AND PARKING INFORMATION

All roads and streets within the project limits will always remain open to traffic; however, we may need to temporarily reduce traffic to a single lane during some portions of work.

Due to construction activities, we may need to block your driveway for a short time. We will contact you before we do this to arrange for the best time and for alternate access, if needed.

On-street parking will be reduced during construction.

TREES

We will have to remove some trees along the construction route. We will replace these trees and restore landscaping when we have finished the work.

PROJECT FACTS

Noise level: Medium, some vibrations might be felt.

Contractor: Technicore Underground Inc. Site Inspector: Cole Engineering Group Ltd.
