Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study

Welcome to the website for the Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study. This website provides basic information about the study, including a Study Area Map . In addition, on this site you can learn about opportunities to get involved with the public consultation portion of the study, keep up to date with information and announcements, and find out who to contact if you have concerns.

The Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study is a joint study between the Region of Peel, Halton Region, City of Brampton, Town of Caledon, and the Town of Halton Hills. The study was suspended until July 2009. It has been reinitiated to carry on with the identification of the long-term (2021 and 2031) transportation network required to support provincial and inter-municipal planning goals, and to serve future transportation demands within the Study Area.

Specific goals and objectives of the Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study are to:

Support current and future municipal planning objectives by providing transportation capacity to accommodate future travel demands generated by planned growth in west Brampton and Halton Hills.
Develop a coordinated interconnected roadway network system along the Halton-Peel boundary.
“Identify opportunities for transportation mode choices, including public transit, carpooling/vanpooling, and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes across the study area.
Identify solutions to serve long-distance truck traffic travelling in the Study Area between Halton Region and Peel Region.
Identify improvements that will serve inter-regional traffic including longer-distance, cross-boundary traffic from Halton Region (and areas west of Halton Region), travelling through west Brampton and southwest Caledon to destinations to the south and east in Peel Region, York Region, and Toronto.
Review the potential to improve connections with the existing Provincial 400-series highway network and possible future Provincial transportation facilities including the GTA West Corridor Planning and Environmental Assessment Study.
Explore opportunities to reduce dependency on the automobile through Travel Demand Management (TDM)/transit supportive measures.

This joint study will be carried out through an open public process under the guidelines of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (MEA, 2000). A key component of the study will be consultation with the general public and other stakeholders through public information centres (PICs) and stakeholder group workshops.

The first Stakeholder Workshop and Public Information Centre were held on Thursday, September 24, 2009 and presented the draft problem statement, options for the North-South Transportation and Georgetown-Norval By-Pass Transportation Corridor, and evaluation criteria for discussion. Feedback received through the first Workshop and Public Meeting were used to develop a revised set of Transportation Corridor Options and preliminary recommendations.

The second Stakeholder Workshop and Public Information Centre were held on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 and presented the revised problem statement and transportation corridor options, as well as the preliminary recommendations for the road network, transit network and other elements of the multimodal transportation strategy. The feedback received through this Workshop and Public Meeting are being used to refine the analysis and evaluation of the alternative transportation strategies and recommend a preferred transportation network option and implementation plan.
