Planning and Development Committee Meeting Time Changes

By Issues

Statement from Stephen Dasko, Councillor for Ward 1 Regarding Change in Time to Planning and Development Meetings

On Wednesday February 27, 2019 at General Committee Stephen Dasko, Councillor for Ward 1 stated that, “I am NOT in favour of the new format change to hold Planning and Development Committee meetings at 1:30 p.m. instead of the 7:00 p.m”.

Dasko moved a motion that this be referred back to staff and the Chair of Planning and Development and to bring a report forward for discussion to the next General Committee. This motion was passed.

Please click on the link below for item 8.9 where you can see the council exchange starting at time 58.20 until 1:34:

http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/cityhall/council-and-committee-videos

For many years Stephen has attended various public meetings in the community regarding building proposals. They provide the community, developers, staff and the respective Councillor of that Ward to have a comprehensive discussion regarding the proposal.  Having residents, ratepayers associations and other stakeholders attend Planning and Development Committee meetings provides another dynamic which Stephen believes is an important component of the process that has brought and continues to bring so much change to so many communities.

“I am of the belief that written comments will carry the same amount of weight as a verbal, I strongly disagree”, said Stephen Dasko, Councillor of Ward 1 at General Committee regarding the change in time from Planning and Development Committee.

I am looking forward to the report back from staff and the Chair of Planning and Development, and I will continue to advocate for sessions to take place in the evenings development proposals as part of the process.

For further questions or comments please contact Stephen at Stephen.dasko@mississauga.ca or

QEW-Dixie Interchange Project – Letter to Councillor Dasko from MTO

By Issues

(dated March 19, 2019)

Dear Councillor Dasko:

Thank you for your interest in the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) Improvement Project from east of Cawthra Road to The East Mall. As a follow-up to our January 28, 2019 meeting, I am updating you on your request for a Fall Public Meeting.

We agree that public consultation is important. As you are aware, Contract 1 that extends along the QEW from west of Etobicoke Creek to The East Mall started in Summer 2018 with construction anticipated to be complete by Winter 2021, subject to weather and construction progress. Prior to and during Contract 1, we have conducted extensive public consultation and will continue to do so throughout the life of this project.

Contract 2 that covers the works along QEW from east of Cawthra Road to west of Etobicoke Creek is currently in the early stages of detail design and will continue into 2020.

We anticipate public consultation for Contract 2 to begin in 2021 with construction start anticipated to begin in Spring 2022. Public consultation may include a public information centre, brochure delivery and updates to our website, among other methods.

At this time, we have no further information beyond what was presented at the Public Information Centre in December 2017.

Should you or your constituents have any questions or concerns in the meanwhile, we have set up this website and email for the public to contact us at:

Website http://www.qewdixiedetaildesign.ca

Email ProjectTeam@QEWDixieDetailDesign.ca

Thank you again for your interest in the QEW Improvement Project. Going forward, we will continue to keep you informed as the project progresses.

Port Credit Bridge Maintenance Status

By Resources

All of the City’s bridges are inspected every two years following OSIM (Ontario’s Structural Inspection Manual) to ensure they are kept in good condition. The structure at Lakeshore Road over the Credit River was constructed in 1960, rehabilitated in 2007 and has undergone periodic maintenance. The next scheduled OSIM inspection is to take place this spring.

 

This structure is currently scheduled for rehabilitation in 2022. Leading up to the rehabilitation we will be initiating detailed condition survey and design work in 2020. This will include conducting a detailed analysis of the structure’s load capacity and fatigue investigation.

Be a Good Neighbour, Clear Your Walk

By Issues

Play your role in keeping your community safe by keeping your sidewalk clear of snow and ice after a snowfall ends.

Offer a helping hand to older adults and persons with physical disabilities in your neighbourhood by clearing their sidewalks. Treat slippery surfaces in front of your home to ensure that older adults, students walking to schools and bus stops, and other pedestrians have a safe path to travel in front of your home. You can make this a fun winter activity by involving kids and young family members.

Always remember when you dig out your car or shovel your driveway, place the snow on your lawn and not on the street. Placing snow from your driveway or parking lot on the road is illegal under the Obstructing Highways By-law.

The City of Mississauga clears sidewalks along major roads and other priority areas where there is access to hospitals, schools and transit. To see a map of these sidewalks visit mississauga.ca/snow.
