Not sure how far down they need to go but it appears that they are about 15-20 feet.. I think they actually use the water in the process.

There is now a landscaped sign around the old esso station on premises with an "experiencebreakwater.ca website listed. It is not yet active even though the signage went up a week or two ago.

Imperfect* but seductive. Mississauga needs to find ways to lock it into the degree of promise shown.

*For example; why curve a road into it at the northwest corner, but not have a Georgian Crescent of townhomes follow the curve? At the least, stagger some of the townhomes to follow the curve, or get rid of the curve, because then what's the point other than to speed cars through?

Vibrant 72-Acre Waterfront Development in Port Credit
MISSISSAUGA COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSES BRIGHTWATER PROJECT
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 1, 2019 /CNW/ -
The Port Credit West Village Partners are excited to announce that a visionary new waterfront development for Port Credit is one step closer to reality. On July 31st, Mississauga City Council unanimously endorsed staff's Recommendation Report for the proposed Brightwater (formerly West Village) community project. The partnership has collaborated extensively with residents, stakeholders and the community to reach this crucial milestone and to continue the transformation of the former oil refinery into an exciting new waterfront community.
The West Village Partners are in the final stages of remediating the 72-acre former Imperial Oil Lands at 70 Mississauga Road South in preparation for the development of Brightwater, a diverse new community with 2,995 new residential units in a mix of housing forms and tenure, including condominium suites and executive townhomes, as well as a vibrant retail and commercial component along Lakeshore Road West and on the waterfront. Brightwater will see the addition of more than 18 acres of new parks and open space, including a 10-acre Waterfront Park that will connect to the existing waterfront trail. There is also potential for additional community amenities including a public school and YMCA. Brightwater will be a new waterfront neighbourhood district, a western extension of Port Credit, with an engaging public realm, memorable main streets and public squares, with shopping, food, nature and community at your doorstep.
The Port Credit West Village Partners would like to sincerely thank Mayor Bonnie Crombie, Ward 1 Councillor Stephen Dasko, City Staff, and all of the local community stakeholders (Cranberry Cove Ratepayer Association, Town Of Port Credit Association, Port Credit Heritage District, and the Port Credit BIA). The Brightwater team would also like to pay tribute to the late Jim Tovey, the former Ward 1 Councillor, who was a driving force behind Mississauga's waterfront redevelopment and Inspiration Port Credit.
"We are all passionate about this great city and we value their insightful, positive contributions to this successful development approvals process," said Ken Tanenbaum, Kilmer Group Vice-Chairman and Chair, West Village Partners.
At the Planning and Development Committee meeting on July 29, 2019, Councillor Stephen Dasko stated: "for the first time in over 100 years, these former Texaco/Imperial Oil lands are going to finally be cleaned up, with no government or taxpayer money going into the remediation effort. We should all be really excited about the future of this site."
West Village Partners appreciate Mayor Crombie's positive comments on the project, which can be found in her news release.
It is anticipated that the partnership will launch the first phase of Brightwater sales in early 2020, with construction starting later that year.
Concept renderings for Brightwater can be found here.
Brightwater is the product of a dynamic partnership that brings award-winning experience in imagining, developing and constructing vibrant, sustainable, mixed-use communities. The Port Credit West Village Partners are led by Kilmer Group, DiamondCorp, Dream Unlimited Corp, and FRAM+Slokker, who are all leaders in providing exceptional quality in residential design, liveability, a sophisticated retail experience, sustainability and innovation. The proposal would not have been possible without the creativity and expertise from Toronto-based award-winning architect Giannone Petricone Associates Inc. Architects and international architect COBE from Denmark, Urban Strategies, Urbantech, BA Group, Public Work and the rest of the expert consulting team. Inspired by community, design excellence, and water, Brightwater promises to be one of the most exciting master-planned developments in Canada.

Does anyone know if there will be rear lane townhomes here?

If built as depicted in the renderings, this would be a nice place to live.
I don't understand why in these large master plan developments that we build townhomes as the "low density component" instead of some sort of low-rise multi-unit buildings that incorporate live-work units that can accommodate genuine mixed-use.

That is just a ton of earth moving going on there, massive, I assume most of it initially related to soil remediation.

Still so much standing water lol.
Parts of the renderings look cool, but I still think it's a weird spot to get dense- it's like it's own little island. One would think density in PC should be clustered around the GO and the coming Hurontario LRT. Is there still a post-secondary campus planned here (possibly the "U campus" on the site plan? the brightwater web site makes no mention of such a feature though). I suppose with a school planned, the existing nearby elementary school would close and be redeveloped?
Still don't see much happening in terms of transportation improvements to prepare for this. Traffic will be an absolute nightmare unless something gets done in advance. Mississauga Road is a single lane each way to get to the QEW and already gets crazy backed up. Not to mention, there are VERY few Credit River road crossings in Mississauga, so Lakeshore will also be terrible.
I also don't like that there are no road connections to the road networks on the West side of the site. Again, Lakeshore becomes the bottleneck for all traffic in the area. No short-cutting around town.

Without better connections including more access across the Credit, they're gonna need a serious Swan Boat dock and a few different routes (foot of Hurontario, Ontario Place (only a 10 minute walk to the Ontario Line from there), Jack Layton Ferry terminal, East Harbour.
