** Zoom Meeting - Monday August 15th at 7:00 p.m. **
At our AGM in May, our residents expressed their disappointment with the postponement of the reconstruction of Rathburn and Ponytrail until 2023 and the lack of information on many of the details. At that time, we asked for a meeting with city planners to answer our questions and concerns. We now have a date confirmed. The meeting will take place via Zoom on Monday August 15th at 7:00 p.m.
Following the sewer construction in 2019, we were asked to wait until 2021 to have our roads paved, the medians fixed and the curbs rebuilt. In the meantime, the project changed from a simple resurfacing with curb and median repairs, and somehow morphed into a whole new project to include bicycle lanes. We are now being told that the city hopes to start this project next summer but it appears that this is not set in stone and even if they do start then, it will take a year to finish. That means two more years of crumbling medians and curbs.
We realize that this is probably not the perfect time to have this meeting, but gathering the planners and designers is at their pleasure. This being said, we hope that you will support our efforts to get answers, and get this project moving forward. by attending the meeting. There is strength in numbers. A good turnout will reinforce that Rockwood is not going to sit back and wait while our neighbourhood falls apart.
If you can attend the meeting, please reply to RHA.exective@gmail.com for your Zoom link which will include dial in numbers. (i.e. you can join from the poolside or the dock!) Looking forward to seeing you on the 15th.

Airport Alert
....In April, 2017, the Residents of Rockwood were under siege from what felt like unrelenting aircraft noise. It came without any warning and stole the quiet enjoyment from our community. It lasted almost 2 months, but it seemed like an eternity.
Five years later, and following 2 years of bliss where there was barely any activity at the airport, GTAA has announced that major construction on the 06L/24R, the second busiest runway will commence in April with a scheduled completion in October. In other words, all the traffic that normally would be handled on this runway will be diverted. It is not yet known how much traffic will be diverted to the north/south runways, right over our neighbourhood or the summer and maybe longer!!

Mississauga is exploring ways to increase housing options in residential neighborhoods as the Province of Ontario is now requiring municipalities to permit:
- Two additional residential units on lots with a detached, semi-detached, or rowhouse. Examples of these are garden suites or garage conversions
- A range and mix of housing types such as duplexes and triplexes, and different living arrangements such as co-ownership and home share

RATHBURN ROAD EAST AND PONYTRAIL DRIVE
INTEGRATED ROAD PROJECT
The City is proposing changes that will have a significant impact on our community. Before the plan is rubber stamped, the RHA wanted the city to hear your voices, and to ensure that every resident knows exactly how some of the measures to be taken will impact our neighbourhood.
To measure the community reaction to this proposal, a survey was sent to our email subscribers.
The results of the survey and the RHA response to the City, based on the survey results, are posted below.

The results of the survey and the RHA response to the City, based on the survey results, are posted below.
It is clear that our residents feel that our current trails are sufficient for local use, and improvements should be concentrated on community use preferences. Connecting our existing trail and providing safe passage across Ponytrail Drive appears to be the will of Rockwood Village.

Speed Bump Survey Results

We have been advised that the proposed traffic calming for Bough Beeches has been cancelled.
Surveys from the RHA, the meeting on November 11th, and comments sent directly to Councilor Fonseca, all indicate that there is not enough community support to proceed with the proposal. We thank those who participated in this exercise in community engagement ! Rockwood Homeowners Association |
Additional NEWS:

When construction of watermain work on Ponytrail was completed last year, the curbs and islands were temporarily repaired in light of resurfacing and other changes to be undertaken in 2021. This timing allowed for residents to have some input on changes to the area of Ponytrail and Rathburn. At the AGM on October 21, 2020, Rory O’Sullivan, Transport Engineer, and Jeremy Blair, Manager of Transportation Infrastructure Management put forward the current proposal for the area.

The City rolled out the plans for changes coming to the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre at the RHA’s AGM in October.
Residents were advised that the pool at Glen Forest will be relocated to the community center. To make room for the 43,000 sq. ft. aquatic center, the outdoor rink will be removed. For details, see December 2020 Newsletter |
