Once the study is completed, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and made available for public review and comment. Following completion of the Class EA process, the project may proceed to future stages of design, permitting, and implementation, subject to further approvals and funding requirements.

A total of 10 potential sites were considered for the truck parking facilities, including locations in Vaughan, Mississauga, and Brampton. Each site was evaluated based on factors such as its proximity to major highways, available space, surrounding land uses, environmental considerations, and the ability to provide safe access for trucks. The selected locations were identified as the most suitable sites because they best met the project requirements while minimizing potential constraints and impacts.

The project is currently in the preliminary design and environmental assessment phase. A construction schedule has not yet been determined. Updates on future project milestones and construction timing will be shared as they become available.
