Study overview
The City has started two concurrent Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) studies for Square One Drive and City Centre Drive.
The Class EA studies build on the City’s Downtown Movement Plan (2024), which recommended the extension of the following:
- Square One Drive from Hurontario Street to Rathburn Road and Shipp Drive
- City Centre Drive from east of Kariya Gate to Hurontario Street and Burnhamthorpe Road
The Class EA studies will review the need for the road extensions and consider a range of alternatives to support future growth and development as well as multi-modal connectivity and access in the study areas.
The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act to plan for a variety of municipal infrastructure projects, including roads, water, and wastewater. The MCEA outlines a comprehensive planning process to identify and assess technical and environmental effects and concerns before infrastructure projects begin. Planning in this way helps ensure that potential impacts from all municipal projects are addressed and mitigated before implementation.
Projects are classified as exempt, eligible for screening, Schedule B, and Schedule C depending on their anticipated environmental impact. The MCEAs for Square One Drive and City Centre Drive are being carried out in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2024).
Public engagement
Three rounds of engagement are planned for these studies to share information and gather feedback from the community.
Round 1: Study commencement and public information centre #1
The City of Mississauga is planning the first public information centre to introduce the Class EA studies and gather input on the needs, opportunities, existing conditions, and alternative solutions for the study areas.
Public information centre #1 will be held on:
