In late 2009 City of Mississauga Council approved a 100% City funding change to the Noise
Attenuation Barrier on Major Roadways Policy.
The Policy was changed to 100% City funding for the ‘Replacement’ of existing
deteriorating noise attenuation barriers. This was done in large part to
address the infrastructure concerns these private deteriorating noise attenuation barriers
posed. These replacements are based on budget allotments and a 'worst' first
approach with other factors considered.
What has remained un-changed in the Policy is the ‘Retro-fit’ section, which remains
50% resident / 50% city funding. This is the conversion of existing private
fences (typically wood) to a noise attenuation barrier (typically concrete).
With this program there is specific criteria that have to be met before a retro-fit
can be considered by the city.
For more details about the ‘Replacement’ or ‘Retro-fit’ programs, or to confirm if your
residence has a noise attenuation barrier, please contact the Transportation and Works -
Infrastructure Planning section at (905)615-3200 ext:3016.
