This may have been covered here or elsewhere, as I don't follow Mississauga all that closely.
But that City is building a new pedestrian/cycling bridge across the Credit river beside the Metrolinx-owned LSW rail corridor.
Construction should just be starting and should wrap by the end of 2026.

From the above:
As I understand it, this will create a trail connection from Front St on the west side of the river to Stavebank on the east.

Great to see. Maybe the worst case of car rage I've experienced as a cyclist was a stone's throw from this bridge, so I deem this a victory against the mean driver.

State of construction on the Palmerston bikeway renewal from College to Dundas looking south. This entire stretch has the surface pavement removed on the west half of the road with some of the new curbs in place

The new bridge will be 350 metres north of Lakeshore Road, so if you're coming south down Mississauga Road, you'll be able to save 700 metres of walking/biking on your way to the GO train. It'll probably also encourage condo development west of the river.This may have been covered here or elsewhere, as I don't follow Mississauga all that closely.

Several years ago, I was driving (boo, I know) north on Mississauga Road, when a young girl, maybe 12 or 13 years old, on a bike, blew through the stop sign from Front Street trying to cross Mississauga Road. She saw me too late, hit her brakes and came to a stop in the middle of the lane. I was going 60 km per hour, and slammed on the brakes. My front bumper came to a stop a metre away from her. If I hadn't been paying attention, I could've killed her.
This is where the west side of the bridge will end. This intersection will see a lot more pedestrian traffic soon, with no real improvements planned. I really question the wisdom of building a multi-million dollar pedestrian bridge based on supposed demand, but then deciding said bridge won't create enough demand for a stop light here.

Maybe a roundabout there would be a good bit of traffic calming.

There isn't really room for that, and it would still require cars to yield to bikes.
What they should be doing (EDIT: if drivers won't tolerate a stop light) is building a pedestrian bridge over Mississauga Road, alongside the tracks. That would require expropriation though to make room for a ramp on the west side of Mississauga Road.

This photo, from New York is interesting. I assume UPS and others will be trying these here sooner or later but I really hope we do not see them in our bike lanes! I note it is 'e-assist' - I would love to see him actually pedaling!!

As someone who used to ride from downtown to York U, this is welcome news. But how does a cyclist get to Sheppard and Sentinel? There’s a glaring lack of north-south options to get there.

Cycle track progress along Alness St and Champagne Dr from the Finch hydro trail to Chesswood Dr

I think there are parcel carriers using cargo ebikes in Toronto.

Yes, but not as huge as this UPS one, as far as I know.

Not sure if there was a separate "Lake to Lake Route" thread here, but East Gwillimbury is planning to extend the Lake to Lake Route 1.5 km north along Yonge from the Nokiidaa Trail head to Doane Road Pedestrian Bridge.

East Gwillimbury connecting trails with multi-use path on Yonge
With $7.6 million in funding from the federal government and York Region, the project will link the Nokiidaa Trail and Doane Road pedestrian bridge, add vibrant streetscape to the core of Holland Landing and extend York Region’s lake-to-lake trail network
