• MOECC Approval May 27 2015

Design

• Design work by team underway
• Input from public and through

permitting process in next few months

• EA Amendment for Preferred

New Construction Access Route

Interim Channel and Construction Route

Benefits and Impacts of New Route 1c

Main benefits

• Phases project from west away from users of WT, Marie Curtis Park & Arsenal Lands
• Allows for earlier establishment of terrestrial and wetland habitats
• If required, possibly provide western trail link in event Inspiration Lakeview not sufficiently

underway

• Does not impede Arsenal Lands Master Planning and built-heritage features
• Avoids temporary relocation of Waterfront Trail
• Goes through less functional habitat and potentially impacts less rare plants
• Further soil studies and treatment are not required

Main Impacts

• Requires temporary stream crossing
• Located within potential Bobolink habitat
• Requires removal of ~30 trees largely non-native/invasive with two locally rare plants
• Passes through City of Mississauga Natural Areas System LV2 (poor quality habitat)
• Cost
• Pinch point north of WWTF and absence of traffic lights at Lakeview and WWTF driveway

CONCLUSION – Preferred POST AMENDMENT DOCUMENT ON WEBSITE & WITH MOECC

DISCUSSION ON EA AMENDMENT

CONFIRMING COASTAL DESIGN

Physical Model Outcomes

Key Outcomes of the Physical Modeling: Able to test shoreline function and habitat stability over wide range of lake levels and wave sizes to account for normal cycles and Climate Change Reduced volume of purchased aggregate materials in the order of $2-$3M Identified design changes to ensure beach stability Explored beach sediment transport patterns and circulation behind the islands Examined ability of Applewood Creek to clear cobbles from outlets and directed design to reduce formation of large cobble plugs

Refined Design

Refined Design – Depicting Terrain

Design Features

• 9. Seating Node (Typical)

Sample Cross-sections

OUTLOOKS

4 – Serson Wetland 1 - Promontory 2 – Seating Node 5 - Seawall 3 – Interpretative Boardwalk

Promontory

Key Features: Cobble beach with islands Toronto Skyline Revetment Trail

Key Features: Three tiers of armourstone seating Grass between tiers and natural viewscape

Seating Node

Cross-Section of Seating Node & Trail

Seating Node

Seating Node

Eastern Tie-off Area

Key Features: Groyne:

• Large Stone
• 30-40m long
• Emergent to Elevation 77-

76msl

• Top end can be buried by

beach material Trail Connection to WT:

• Straight connection

through woods

• Curved connection along

woods edge

Constructed Island

Key Features: Curvilinear Armourstone Island Navigation Lights

Operations and Maintenance

Key Features:

• Passive use conservation area (walking, running, cycling, fishing, etc.)
• CVC management and enforcement
• Daylight hours of operation
• Dogs on leash enforced; no boating or skating
• Accessibility features (Built environment standards)
• Natural park aesthetic
• CPTED design principles (no lighting, site lines maintained, access point

control, etc).

• Minimal infrastructure; vandalism resistant features
• Visitor monitoring (visitation numbers, visitor flow, impacts, etc)
• Educational programming and research opportunities (in combination with

Arsenal dev)

• Self-guided interpretive signage
• Special event spaces and opportunities (First Nations ceremonial, etc.)

Construction Phasing

Construction Phase vs Completion Phase

AERIAL TOUR OF LAKEVIEW

Schedule

Task Date

Region of Peel receives design proposal and supports Project Construction October 22 2015 Initiate construction of access road (assuming EA Amendment Approved by end of December) Early 2016 Start building rubble cell (Fisheries window guidelines allows work from July 1st to March 30th ) July 2016 Anticipated rubble Cell 1 completion Fall 2016 Fill material can be accepted at LWC Fall 2016 Construction from west to east Until 2023-2026
