The Construction of a Watermain from the Rosehill Pumping Station to Bayview Avenue and Parkhurst Boulevard

The need for this project
The City of Toronto identified that this new watermain will reinforce the existing watermain capacity and increase the output of Rosehill Pumping Station; therefore, a comprehensive and environmentally sound planning process that incorporates public and agency consultation is required.
The planning process will identify the preferred route for the new watermain based on public input and information gathered throughout the study.
Three alternative routes were proposed for consideration in this Municipal Class EA study. These routes were the subject of an Open House and public consultation in December, 2006.
Open House #1 – December 5th, 2006
The first Open House was held on December 5th, 2006 at Maurice Cody Community Centre.
Open House #2 – March 21st, 2007
A second Open House was held on March 21st, 2007 at Maurice Cody Community Centre.
Review of the Alternative Routes
Three alternative routes were proposed for consideration in this Municipal Class EA study. These routes were the subject of an Open House and public consultation in December, 2006. The three routes were assessed in terms of the evaluation criteria. Each route was given a ranking that reflects their suitability as the preferred route. The results are:

Route	Description	Ranking

A	Mount Pleasant Rd. / Davisville Ave. / McCord Rd. / Cleveland St. / Eglinton Ave. E.	2

B	Mount Pleasant Rd. / Millwood Rd. / Cleveland St. / Eglinton Ave. E.	3

C	Mount Pleasant Rd. / Eglinton Ave. E.	1

Review comments received from this Open House and from government agencies.
