Project overview
The Dixie-Dundas community consists of a variety of residential, commercial, industrial and park and trail land uses and includes designated Special Policy Areas (SPAs) which regulate future development due to flood risks. This area is subject to flooding as a result of spilling from Little Etobicoke Creek near the Dixie Road bridge during high flow conditions including the storm event that occurred on July 8th, 2013.
The goal of this study is to find solutions to provide flood protection to residences and businesses as well as to enable future growth in the Dixie-Dundas community as envisioned in the Dundas Connects Master Plan.
Public Information Centres
Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held to present information related to the study and allow an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to provide input. Details regarding the PICs will be advertised publicly and communicated directly as the study progresses.
Public Information Centre #1
PIC #1 was held in 2020, and the purpose of it was to:
- introduce the project
- describe the environmental context
- present alternative solutions to address the problems
- outline the evaluation criteria
- provide opportunity for interested parties to offer input
Please find the presentation below.
Expanded study area
The study has been expanded downstream to Dundas Street East to adequately identify and assess any improvements to address flooding from Little Etobicoke Creek. Read the Notice of Expanded Study Area.
Bulletin for Expanded Study Area
Conceptual alternative flood mitigation solutions were identified in the expanded study area near Dundas Street East. For more information, refer to the Project Bulletin for Expanded Study Area.
Public Information Centre #2
-
present the evaluation and preferred alternative solutions
- present and evaluate alternative design concepts
- present the preliminary and preferred design concept
- provide opportunity for interested parties to offer input
