Canada’s City of Mississauga appointed Stantec to lead the detailed design and contract administration for the Dundas bus rapid transit (BRT) Mississauga East project.
The planned corridor spans over four miles and includes eight stops. With a projected budget of over $416 million, the project encompasses design, construction, land acquisition, and associated utility upgrades to improve transit efficiency and support urban growth.
The Dundas BRT Mississauga East corridor is a key component of a broader regional transit expansion. Its objectives include improving transit service reliability, reducing travel times, and encouraging ridership.
The project aligns with the Metrolinx 2041 Regional Transportation Plan, which seeks to enhance mobility, support housing development, and promote job creation. It is also consistent with Mississauga’s 2018 Dundas Connects Master Plan.
The design will feature median-aligned dedicated bus lanes, transit signal prioritization, and enhanced bus stops designed for accessibility. The project is expected to comply with both the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the City’s Facility Accessibility Design Standards, according to Stantec.
Key infrastructure elements include replacing or rehabilitating four structures: the Cooksville Creek culvert at Jaguar Valley Drive, the Hensall Circle and Canadian Pacific Railway overpass, the Cawthra Road overpass, and the Little Etobicoke Creek bridge. These upgrades aim to support both transportation and stormwater management needs.
Stantec’s role encompasses the full project lifecycle, from consulting and design to tendering, procurement, construction oversight, and post-construction administration. Significant utility relocation, coordination, permitting, and environmental compliance will be required throughout the project.
To support construction efficiency and continuity of transit operations, the project will be coordinated with existing infrastructure, particularly the Hazel McCallion Line LRT. Design considerations include maintaining LRT operations and aligning pavement and rail grades.
The changes are designed to reduce overall travel time, shorten wait times, and get customers to their destinations more quickly.
