Background:

The Government of Ontario and their partners at Metrolinx are investing in convenient, integrated transit across the province. This includes electrification of GO train lines. In Mississauga, the Lakeshore West GO line will undergo changes to allow for electrification and 15-minute, two-way service all day.

To prepare for these changes, the City of Mississauga is developing a plan for the area surrounding the Clarkson GO Station. The Clarkson Transit Station Area Study will provide a planning framework to guide future development. The City wants to ensure that development will support transit and contribute to the walkability of the area. In addition, the study seeks to:

• Gather feedback from stakeholders and the local community
• Complete a transportation assessment
• Explore the possibility of converting employment lands
• Develop a land use plan and policies.

The City of Mississauga is leading the Clarkson Transit Station Area Study in partnership with the Region of Peel. A consultant team led by The Planning Partnership and supported by LEA Consulting and Cushman & Wakefield ULC is providing expertise in land use planning, policy development, urban design, transportation and economic viability.

CRH Canada’s Mississauga Cement Plant will be hosting an Open House on Saturday, September 22^nd from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.  The Open House will provide the community with a unique opportunity to learn more about our facility, our process and people.  As you will see from the attached invitation, our theme for this year’s Open House is Climate Change, Sustainable Development and Biodiversity.  Joining us at the event will be some of our community partners including Credit Valley Conservation, Earth Rangers (and some of their animal friends), University of Toronto’s Work of Wind and Clarkson Secondary School students who recently won the 2018 Engineering Idol competition.  This is a family friendly event with lots for the children to see and do.

On September 25th, 5-8pm in the Great Hall at City Hall, residents are invited to participate in a community meeting where they can share their ideas, opinions and local knowledge to help shape the future vision of five areas anchored by indoor shopping malls.

In partnership with the Region of Peel, Reimagining the Mall will guide the long-term evolution of these into healthier, mixed-use communities. This will set a proactive policy framework to fulfil the City’s long-term vision should a property owner choose to redevelop the mall and surrounding area in the future.
