Mississauga South MPP Charles Sousa will host a community meeting on Wednesday regarding the province’s proposed improvements to the Queen Elizabeth Way highway at Dixie Road.

Dixie Road is high-traffic interchange and has been identified by the province as an area requiring rehabilitation. That includes replacing bridges, reconfiguring the interchange and realigning service roads.

A recent addition to the plan was the creation of a stormwater pond, to be located on Brentano Boulevard.

Neighbours argue the pond’s proposed location is too close to their homes and there are concerns about impacts to community health and safety as a result of the proximity to contaminated water.
