Virtual Community Meeting | Official Plan Review – Housing & Land Use Policies

By Events, Planning & Development

Join Us! Official Plan Review

The City is moving forward with the next phase of community engagement for the Official Plan Review – and we need your input!

Every 10 years, the City reviews and updates the Official Plan to ensure it reflects Mississauga’s changing needs. The Official Plan is an important part of our city building efforts. It’s a comprehensive document that guides how the City will grow and develop.

To date, staff have shared two sets of updated Official Plan draft policies for feedback.

On May 16, staff will present the third and final set of policies – related to Housing & Land Use – at a virtual community meeting. These policies:

  • Outline where the city will grow
  • Enable more housing types in neighbourhoods
  • Promote housing affordability and rental protection
  • Create opportunities for mid-rise buildings
  • Update employment area policies

Join our team on May 16 from 6-8 p.m. for a virtual community meeting.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, a recording of the staff presentation will be posted online following the meeting. You can also provide your comments on the policies using our online commenting tool starting May 2.

Construction crews will continue overnight activities within the railway corridor at Port Credit GO Station near Hurontario Street. These activities are expected to continue from May 2023 to July 2023 and will allow for grouting and excavation activities to continue while the underpass structure, also known as the Push Box, is pushed into place with minimal disruption to train movements overhead. Once in place, the underpass will allow for light rail vehicles to enter and exit Port Credit GO Station.
In order to complete the work safely and efficiently, crews will be onsite between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. on weeknights when train movements are at a minimum. Some work may also be required on a few nights on the weekends.

TRAFFIC DETAILS

• This work is localized in the southeast portion of the Port Credit parking lot, directly adjacent to the railway corridor. • Traffic delays are expected where lane reductions already exist for utility and roadwork activities on Hurontario Street.

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – May 2 – 892 Johnathan Drive

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time:         Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Location:                    892 Johnathan Drive                   

Addresses Affected:  861 to 930 Johnathan Dr.

                                    2197 to 2208 Breezy Brae Dr.

                                    2217 to 2218 Candish Lane

Project #:                   C602934

Regional Inspector:  John Sedore

Telephone #               905-791-7800 ext. 3246/3247

The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.

Your water will be turned off on   Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023, from approximately    9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.     If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.  During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function.  A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.

After the water interruption:

When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise.  We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). Flush the toilets as well. You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds.  Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

Important note:  After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking your water meter (usually located in the basement).  If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 4409 (After hours or Statutory Holidays)
