City seeks volunteers for Garlic Mustard Task Force

By Issues, Resources, Ward 1

The City’s Forestry Section is looking for resident volunteers for its Garlic Mustard Task Force to help steward local natural areas by removing the invasive Garlic Mustard plant is an invasive species that was brought to North America as a food source and for herbal medicine.

In natural areas, Garlic Mustard outperforms native species by crowding out and displacing native plants such as Trillium flowers.

The City is currently taking measures to reduce the Garlic Mustard population in Mississauga, but since it can double in size in four years time, the recruitment of interested volunteers is needed to help fight against the growth of Garlic Mustard.

Task Force volunteers will receive training, supplies and be assigned a designated park or natural area near their homes to complete a series of Garlic Mustard removal pulls during the spring each year.

If you’re interested in joining the Garlic Mustard Task Force, please register on the City s Better Impact Volunteer Portal. If you have any questions about the program, please contact 311 or 905 615 4311 from outside Mississauga city limits.

I am so  excited to announce that The Passion for Parkinson’s Foundation has aligned with the City of Mississauga to offer our community a specifically designed Painting with Parkinson’s program commencing this April.
Facilitated by a credentialed art instructor, the program will explore watercolour and acrylic paint techniques, colour theory and line space. The class will focus on stimulating creativity , exploring feelings, and developing social skills. It’s not about artistic excellence. It’s about fun, freedom of expression with  the stroke of a brush.
Classes will be held on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 am to 12:00pm . The first class in April 20th , 2022. All materials are included and classes  will be held at the Small Arms Inspection Building. (Dixie and Lakeshore Rd) Classes will be 8 weeks in duration.
The Small Arms Inspection Building is a historic,18,000 square foot multi-purpose building. It serves as a cultural hub for a wide range of arts and cultural programs, exhibitions and events. Surrounded by windows, natural light, and scenic park views combined with industrial interior design the venue is ideally suited for painting classes.

Annual Spring Clean Up Street Sweeping Program

By Issues, Ward 1

Please be advised that our annual spring clean-up street sweeping program will begin next month.

Item Timeframe (*weather permitting)
Curb-faced sidewalks April 1, 2022 – April 29, 2022

 
Boulevards and Traffic Islands April 1, 2022 – April 29, 2022

 
Splash Pads April 1, 2022 – April 29, 2022

 
Streets (including bike lanes) April 21, 2022. – May 6, 2022.

 

Residents and road users are usually eager for street sweeping to begin when the weather starts warming up. However, we begin the spring clean-up street sweeping program when the temperatures are mild and the roads are clear of all snow, usually early in the spring.

Starting the program in spring also allows us to remove winter maintenance equipment from the Works yards when it is no longer needed to make space for street sweepings. In addition, the supply of water used for the program is contingent on temperatures remaining above the freezing point.

After our spring clean-up is complete, we will continue maintaining roadways through our regular street sweeping program.

Dundas Corridor Policy Implementation

By Events, Issues, Ward 1

About the Project

The Dundas Street Corridor is a vibrant street and is a vital part of the City’s transportation network. Over the next 35 to 40 years, the City estimates that the number of people using Dundas Street will grow. This growth is guided by:

The City has been taking steps through different studies to advance the vision of the Dundas Connect Master Plan. Many of the studies are underway, and will include their own community engagement.

The City is advancing the vision of the DCMP through these projects. It is also drafting an Official Plan Amendment that implements the DCMP endorsed recommendations. The Official Plan Amendment will proceed once the Region has implemented the Major Transit Station Area policies, followed by the City’s own Major Transit Station Area policies. The approval of the Major Transit station Area policies will need to happen first before the Dundas Connects Master Plan policy implementation.

On May 10th, 2021, staff provided an update to Council’s Planning and Development Committee, summarizing the projects underway and sharing the next steps in implementing the endorsed DCMP. View the report

Lakeshore Corridor Transportation Improvements

By Events, Issues, Planning & Development, Ward 1

The Lakeshore Transportation Studies include three infrastructure projects in the Lakeview, Port Credit and Clarkson communities that build from the 2019 Lakeshore Connecting Communities Transportation Master Plan. Each project requires a specific type of environmental review.

1. Lakeshore Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Study

The City of Mississauga is developing the preliminary design and completing the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) for the Lakeshore Bus Rapid Transit Project (BRT). The Lakeshore BRT is planned to run for two kilometres along Lakeshore Road from the Etobicoke Creek to East Avenue. This project has received funding through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) and will have an expedited timeline for development. Learn more about the ICIP funding granted to the City of Mississauga.

Learn more about the Lakeshore BRT Study and the TPAP.

2. Lakeshore Complete Street Study

The City is also developing the preliminary design and completing the Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Lakeshore Road and Royal Windsor Drive. This study will consider a ‘Complete Street’ approach to improve the experience for people travelling along the Lakeshore corridor from East Avenue to the Oakville border.

Learn more about the Lakeshore Complete Street Study and the Schedule C Class EA.

3. New Credit River Active Transportation Bridge Study

The City is developing the preliminary design and completing the Schedule B Class EA for a new Active Transportation bridge over the Credit River north of Lakeshore Road. This bridge will enhance mobility across the river for people walking, rolling and cycling.

Learn more about the Credit River Active Transportation Bridge and the Schedule B Class EA.

The map below shows the study areas for each of the three projects that make up the Lakeshore Transportation Studies.
