Mississauga Council Identifies Six Priority Transit Projects
Local government | September 15, 2021
Today, City Council endorsed the top six priority transit projects for the City of Mississauga that will break gridlock, ease congestion, and ensure residents, visitors and commuters can access improved local and regionally connected public transit. All levels of government have a role to play in making these projects a reality.
“Our goal is to get Mississauga moving and to give people an option other than the car. The priority transit projects we have identified will connect our communities from the Airport Corporate Centre to our downtown core to the City’s waterfront, and to our neighbours to the east and west,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “These rapid transit lines will spur growth and development in our city, create jobs and service essential businesses, and allow us to achieve our goal of building complete, healthy communities where people can live, work and play. The job of building a great City is a shared responsibility, which is why we are calling on the federal and provincial levels of government to work together to build these critical projects.”
- Lakeshore Bus Rapid Transit (BRT): (and additional transit improvements along Lakeshore corridor)
The Lakeshore corridor is experiencing significant growth and development and is a regional tourism and culture destination. There is a great need for transit solutions that will allow people to move quickly to and along this important corridor in our City.
