  • City of Mississauga
    Complete Streets in Southern Ontario: Project Overview In summer 2012, the Toronto Centre for Active Transportation (TCAT), a project of Clean Air Partnership, conducted survey-based research in Grey and Bruce Counties, Niagara Region and the City of Mississauga. TCAT’s objective was to investigate the status of Complete Streets in these jurisdictions and to gain a better understanding of the barriers to implementing Complete Streets policy and projects. TCAT collected online surveys from a diverse set of respondents from each jurisdiction including planners, engineers and public health staff, active transportation and accessibility advocates and elected officials. Survey responses from the City of Mississauga were analysed and incorporated into a case study available below. Survey respondents’ names are kept confidential. City of Mississauga Population 713,443 Land Area (km²) 292.40 Population density (people/km²) 2439.9 Jurisdiction type Lower-tier Munic. “It is important to work collaboratively with the various City departments, from urban design to land use planning, when designing a complete street” – Survey Respondent Geography and Government Mississauga is located west of Toronto, in the Regional Municipality of Peel. The City of Mississauga is a lower -tier municipality governed by 11 councillors and a mayor. All plans and policies in Mississauga must conform to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2006) and the Provincial Policy Statement (2005). Mississauga's new Official Plan directs population and employment growth to its Downtown, Mixed-Use Nodes, Corporate Centres, Major Transit Station Areas and Intensification Corridors to support existing and planned infrastructure, particularly transit and cycling facilities. Compact, mixed use development in these areas will reduce the need for extensive travel to fulfill the needs of daily living and will provide more opportunities to live and work in the city.

  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

But instead of cutting jobs and services, we created a plan to build Ontario up. We chose to improve our schools, strengthen health care and invest in modern infrastructure. We chose to support our business community so it can rise to meet the challenges of a technology‐ driven, competitive global economy. Our plan is working. Ontario’s economy has continued to grow in an uncertain global environment.
