CALEDON, ON (December 16, 2024) – Twelve critical Peel-led infrastructure projects in the Town of Caledon received capital budget pre-approval at Peel Regional Council on December 12, 2024, ensuring there will be no project delays while waiting for the Region’s final budget approval. The total amount approved was $82.1 million for road and watermain and sanitary sewers projects.  

Expediting road and water and wastewater infrastructure projects are critical to support development and help Caledon meet its population target of 300,000 residents by 2051, as well as support the immediate needs of its residents. 

These Caledon-based projects have been prioritized to optimize the 2025 construction season and ensure alignment to Conservation Authority timing windows to protect the environment: 

Water and wastewater projects supporting growth ($20.0 million) 

  • Humber Station Rd. watermain work in Bolton from Mayfield Rd. to 1,450 m north 
  • Humber Station Rd. watermain work in Bolton from a future street north of Mayfield Rd. to Healey Rd.  
  • Humber Station Rd. sanitary sewer in Bolton from Healey Rd. to 1,600 m south  
  • Humber Station Rd. sanitary sewer in Bolton from Mayfield Rd. to 1,600 m north 
  • Hwy 50 water main replacement in Bolton to improve water quality and system reliability 

Road projects ($62.1 million) 

  • Safe pedestrian crossing over the CP Rail tracks on Hwy. 50 in Bolton 
  • Reconstruction and pavement rehabilitation on Gore Rd. from Patterson Sdrd. to Hwy. 9 
  • Corridor improvements on Airport Rd. in Caledon East 
  • Reconstruction and pavement rehabilitation of Bush St. and Mississauga Rd. in Belfountain 
  • Gore Rd. culvert over the Lindsay Creek tributary (north of King St.) and the King St. culvert west of Gore Rd. 
  • Replacement of 17 entrance culverts on Hwy. 50 between Mayfield Rd. and Healey Rd. in Bolton 
  • Utility relocation for Mayfield Rd. widening between Dixie Rd. and Bramalea Rd.  

Budget pre-approval from Regional Council will help prevent infrastructure delays as the Peel Transition Implementation Act, 2024 is passed and a formal plan to transition Peel roads and stormwater infrastructure to the Town of Caledon is formalized. The Act, once passed, will transition roads and associated stormwater to Caledon on July 1, 2026. 

“This legislation is a strong first step to empower Caledon to increase local service delivery and remove barriers and red tape that slow down road infrastructure decisions that are needed as we grow from a town into a city,” said Caledon Mayor Annette Groves. “We are confident that by continuing to work with the Province, Caledon will have the protections needed to safeguard our residents’ pocketbooks and the beautiful place they live in.”
