Continuous Weekend Work on the Lakeshore West Rail Corridor at Port Credit GO Station – Starting at 7 p.m. on Friday October 27th to 6 a.m. on Monday October 30th

By Hurontario LRT, Ward 1

What work is taking place? With the Lakeshore West underpass structure (LSW Push Box) in place, construction crews will resume overnight activities within the railway corridor at Port Credit GO Station near Hurontario Street for the removal of the Verona System. The Verona system is a temporary modular bridge that allowed for train movements to continue while the LSW Push Box was moved into place underneath the tracks. These activities are expected to take place continuously over the course of the weekend from 7 p.m. on Friday October 27 to 6 a.m. on Monday October 30th. It will allow for crews to carefully remove the traverse beams and modules that currently support train traffic on all three railway tracks. As the beams and modules are removed, crews will reinstate the tracks, one at a time, by backfilling and compacting the railway corridor with granular materials and track ballast to support future train traffic above the underpass.

To complete the work safely and efficiently, crews will be working continuously throughout the weekend and overnight when train movements are at a minimum.

We understand that we are building this transformational transit project in a residential area and that overnight work is not ideal. We appreciate your patience and will complete this work as efficiently as possible to get things back to normal for you. We have a dedicated community relations team in place to work with residents and businesses in Peel Region through the construction and operation of this transformational project.

City to Introduce Shared System of e-bikes and e-scooters Next Year

By Announcement

October 18, 2023 at General Committee, Council supported the staff recommendation that the City launch a shared micro-mobility program next year. Micro-mobility is a form of travel using a lightweight device powered by your own body or electricity. The City’s shared micro-mobility program will offer up to 300 electric pedal-assist bicycles (e-bikes) and 900 electric kick-style scooters (e-scooters). For a fee, users will be able to rent e-bikes and e-scooters to get around the city and park with flexibility at a station or at a bike rack closest to their destination.

“This is exciting news for Mississauga. Having a shared micro-mobility system will provide residents with a new way to move around our city,” said Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works. “We’ll be joining eight other Ontario municipalities with shared micro-mobility systems including Toronto, Brampton and Ottawa.”

In October 2019, Council supported the recommendation for City staff to look at how a program of shared bikes, e-bikes or e-scooters could be used for travel in Mississauga as part of a Micro-Mobility Program Development Project. Following extensive analysis and community and stakeholder consultation in June 2022, Council approved a recommendation to develop a shared micro-mobility program that offers e-bikes and e-scooters.

Over the next few months, staff will go through the procurement process for an e-bike and e-scooter service provider, and roll out the program in 2024. Staff will bring a report to Council in 2025 with an update on the program’s progress.

Learn more about the shared micro-mobility program.

Learn more about safety, rules and etiquette for bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters.

Background

The City’s Transportation Master Plan recommended that a shared system of bikes, e-bikes or e-scooters be created in Mississauga. In December 2020, the City implemented an interim e-scooter strategy that involved amending its Parks By-lawTraffic By-law and Transit By-law to regulate where personally-owned e-scooters can be operated in Mississauga. Residents, 16 years old and older, can operate their e-scooter on public roadways in Mississauga with a posted speed limit of up to 50 km/h and on cycling infrastructure (e.g. multi-use trails along roadways and bike lanes). The interim e-scooter strategy created opportunities for the City to collect resident feedback, which has informed the City’s recommendation to introduce a shared micro-mobility system in Mississauga.
