New Cultural Districts Help Create Vibrant Neighbourhoods Through Art & Culture – City of Mississauga

News release

New Cultural Districts Help Create Vibrant Neighbourhoods Through Art & Culture

Business and innovation | February 3, 2021

Mississauga’s Culture Master Plan came into sharper focus as Council approved the City of Mississauga’s Cultural Districts Implementation Plan. The plan introduces six cultural districts in Mississauga, each attributed with distinct themes, as the City looks to enrich cultural spaces to improve the quality of life for residents and the economic success of Mississauga.

“How we shine as a city has so much to do with our arts and culture, and I truly believe our residents and visitors will all benefit from improved cultural spaces throughout Mississauga,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “From entertainment venues and art galleries to dining out and connecting in green spaces, cultural districts are designed to offer people a wide range of experiences all within a concentrated and well-designed community space.”

The three-year (2021-2023) plan, aligning with the Connect, Belong and Prosper pillars of the City’s Strategic Plan, was carefully researched and designed by the City’s Culture Division to connect to other City strategies, such as the Culture Master Plan and Economic Recovery Plan for Creative Industries.

“Many cities are known for their distinct neighbourhoods, which is why we have benchmarked ourselves to other thriving cities around the world,” said Paul Damaso, Director, Culture Division. “The plan meshes the entrepreneurial spirit of business and creative passion of the arts and culture community together in a collective path to success in Mississauga. Cultural districts will attract visitors to the city to support local businesses, while the arts and culture community will have improved, innovative spaces to showcase their craft. This is about creating vibrant neighbourhoods and community hubs as destinations for locals and visitors alike.”

The history, heritage and future plans of each neighbourhood were explored. The six districts include:

Port Credit – exploration, entertainment, the arts and cultural heritage

Streetsville – cultural heritage, entertainment and exploration

Downtown Core – arts and innovation, entertainment and food

Cooksville – food, cultural heritage, music and entertainment

Clarkson – sustainability, cultural heritage, arts and entertainment

Malton – cultural heritage, community and exploration

As noted in the staff report, public consultation will take place between February and July 2021 and will help identify and prioritize the cultural needs within each district.

PHOTOS: Mississauga’s incoming LRT will come equipped with some interesting new features

by Ashley Newport on February 3, 2021

If you're looking forward to the completion of the Hurontario LRT, a $1 billion higher-order transit project being carried out by Metrolinx that will span 18 km and run from Port Credit GO at Lakeshore Rd. in the south to the Brampton Gateway Terminal at Steeles Ave in the north, you might be excited to hear that it will boast some unique features. 

According to a recent blog post by Erika D'Urbano, a senior advisor with Metrolinx, the LRT will feature a "push box" and elevated guideways. D'Urbano says the elevated guideways will be built above street level, including across Highway 403.

The post also says Hurontario will be widened to support future lane configurations, with widening set to begin in the south of the city.

"After this is complete, excavation and shoring works for the QEW underpass will follow. Once the area has been excavated and supported, crews will build the hollow concrete structure, or a 'push box' and install temporary track support systems," D'Urbano writes. 

"Following that, hydraulic jacks will be used to slowly push the push box into its place. The QEW push box will be a permanent structure that will act as a passageway for northbound traffic to pass through once the LRT line is complete." 

The post says the 'push box' will carry the LRT Right-of-Way under the tracks without disrupting the flow of traffic on Hurontario Street. 

In Cooksville, temporary traffic signals will continue to be installed overhead at all the intersections along Hurontario Street between Fairview Road West and Harborn Trail. 

The post says utility relocations will start in the summer, followed by road widening, boulevard work and the installation of noise walls.

Residents can also expect an elevated guideway, which D'Urbano says will be a stand-alone structure that will branch off from Hurontario towards the west and will be built specifically for the LRT line to connect to other transit systems and routes in Mississauga.

According to the post, one part of the elevated guideway will extend from Square One Drive, going north-west, while the other part will extend from Hwy 403 north off the ramp. A third piece will extend at the Y-junction towards Rathburn Road, stopping at the future Mississauga City Centre Stop. 

The structure, which will begin construction this summer, will be directly adjacent to the Hurontario overpass of Hwy 403.

Once complete, the LRT will boast 19 stops and provide connections to the Port Credit and Cooksville GO stations, Mississauga Transitway, MiWay and Zum transit lines.

Quel zonage étrange avec les gros édifices juste à côté des maisons unifamiliales... En fait je dis étrange mais c'est typiquement Nord-Américain.

Montréal a su rester abordable et agréable grâce à sa densité hors du centre-ville, bien que ça commence à être saturé maintenant, ce qui gonfle les prix, sans compter les investissements étrangers dans l'immobilier, mais bon.
