The Commissioner of Public Works provided an overview of Peel Region’s proposed approach to infrastructure planning to accelerate development throughout Peel which involves three different tactics: aligning growth to existing infrastructure to maximize development of new homes in the short term by focusing growth in areas where there is already existing or planned infrastructure capacity; accelerating or amending the existing ten year Capital Plan to support strategic growth areas; and updating the master plans. The Commissioner advised that there is limited capacity in the system within the shorter term and therefore if one project is accelerated, another project must be delayed.
