Are we talking about the same cities? Dundas in Oakville and Burlington does not have any GO stations on it (aside from several GO bus stops nearby), but rather is a major corridor where many shopping centres (such as at Dundas and Trafalgar, Dundas and Neyagawa etc) are located, as well as the...

In Burlington and Oakville Dundas is 6 lanes (and 8 lanes at intersections) wide and the whole area north of the street towards highway 407 is being intensively developed. This DEFINITELY justifies the transit expansion there. The lack of ridership is probably due to factors such as lack of...

The Halton stretch in Oakville and Burlington is desperately needed.

This is from the Beaverton or the Onion, right?

Kitchener be like: 💅🏽

I think some of the older Mississauga neighbourhoods have individual plots of SFH being redeveloped for more density. You see this when riding the GO Lakeshore West line, especially where tiny 1950’s „cottages“ are on a large plot of land. Where it might take a few generations to see the...

Today a segment from a TVOThe Agenda discussion panel on Mississauga regarding its transition to being a proper city versus a suburb was uploaded on YouTube. Just an interesting point to continue our conversation.

How many storeys have been poured so far?

I can walking through winding parking lots and tower alleys and crossing wide streets might make walking unpleasant. But trees along the sidewalk and in medians, public artwork, more buildings (and smaller parking lots!) would go a long way in encouraging foot-traffic. I remember visiting...

I noticed that most pictures from the street level of the Mississauga City Centre are devoid of pedestrians. Is this just a coincidence or done on purpose for privacy reason or is there currently little foot traffic? I hope that with more of these developments, their commercial and institutional...

Hopefully the other parking lots are developed nearby also which may provide more opportunities for amenities and parks. Retail is still available in the surrounding area and a certain portion of the development will be retail. I am not familiar with the area- is there green space available in...

It‘s a peepee pad for dogs 😅

That‘s insane! I live in Germany where most cities cluster their schools around streetcar, subway, and regional transit stations with little to no parking lots, including in small towns in the countryside. Even though these were usually built in the post-war period when highways were expanded...

It sounds like a traffic bottleneck!

Wow that‘s a wide road! I hope eventually the area will feel more urban and pedestrian-friendly.

Any updates to this project, such as when construction will start?

I miss the extra small coffee cup size option. It was usually exactly what I needed.

Are there preliminary plans accessible anywhere (like the City of Mississauga website)? I am so curious! Part of me was fantasizing about pedestrian bridges to cross these thicc stroads and bring residents safely over to the mall.

I can see this being appealing to many people because of those two items mentioned. And for those not yet willing to use their car less, they see themselves near the centre of Mississauga and close to the highway and major arterial roads. Plus, as Undead mentioned, there is so much excess demand...

Are Canadian suburbs like Mississauga (over 800,000!) unique in the Western world for their population sizes and skylines? I can imagine many parallels in East Asia, but I cannot seem to think of equivalents in North America, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. Perhaps in Latin America?
