Consultation
Meaningful public and stakeholder consultation is a crucial step in shaping the outcome of the Study. The Project Team has developed a consultation program that will:
- Provide stakeholders with access to study information in a timely manner that enables them to provide input and participate in a meaningful way.
- Engage the broader community and give consideration to all input and differing points of view.
- Promote a cooperative and productive consultation environment that recognizes the value of dialogue and that everyone may not agree with every decision.
The consultation program will be ongoing during the Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study and will include meetings with municipal staff and Council as required, emergency service providers, regulatory agencies, transit operators, Indigenous communities and directly impacted members of the public.
One Public Information Centre will be scheduled during this Study to provide interested individuals with the opportunity to learn more about the study process and provide feedback directly to the Project Team.
The final notification for this Study will be to advise of the filing of the Transportation Environmental Study Report for the 30-day public comment period. The Transportation Environmental Study Report will summarize and document the process completed and provide additional opportunity for interested persons to provide feedback.

The notices will also be posted on this website and sent directly to all contacts on the study mailing list. Members of the Project Team are available throughout the Study to provide information and receive feedback. This dialogue is key to meeting our Study principles of transparency, openness, traceability, timeliness and accountability. You can contact a member of the Project Team through the “Contact Us” section of the website.
Comments are being collected to assist Ministry of Transportation with the preliminary design and to meet the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This material will be maintained on file for use during the project and may be included in project documentation. Information collected will be used in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record. If you have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact one of the Project Team members listed in the Contact Us section of this website.
All input will be incorporated into the Study findings and recommendations as appropriate.
The Study
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained AECOM Canada Ltd. (AECOM) to undertake a Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study for Highway 410 Improvements. The Study limits extend from South of Queen Street to North of Bovaird Drive. The Study includes the consideration of potential improvements along the Highway 410 corridor. Recommended improvements include the widening of Highway 410 to provide additional mainline capacity including the implementation of dedicated High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. The Study also includes an assessment of bridges, culverts, retaining walls and MTO noise walls, along with considerations for upgrades to illumination and traffic signals. The Study Area is located within the City of Brampton and Regional Municipality of Peel, refer to the Study Area map below.
The Process
This Study is following the approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ project under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) (Class EA).
Reasonable design alternatives for highway widening and High Occupancy Vehicle lanes have been developed and evaluated leading to the selection of a preliminary Technically Preferred Alternative. The improvements to the corridor aim to ensure the future infrastructure rehabilitation can accommodate the future traffic needs of Highway 410.
Upon study completion, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and made available for a 30-day public and agency comment period. Notification advising of the availability of the TESR for comment will be published in local newspapers, mailed or e-mailed to those on the project mailing list, and information will be made available on the Study website.
Public Information Centre (PIC)
A PIC is being held in-person at Professor's Lake Recreation Centre – Auditorium. The purpose of the PIC is to receive feedback on the preliminary design recommendations and potential mitigation strategies to minimize environmental and community impacts. The Project Team encourages you to attend and welcomes your input. The PIC will be held as follows:
Comments
PIC materials will also be available online for a public comment period (ending July 2, 2024). We encourage you to review the materials and submit your comments to the Project Team, or reach out to the Project Team to obtain additional information and/or be placed on the project mailing list. Please contact the Project Team via one of the methods below:
