Well a stop light here is a big deal. The cars on kariya drive upwards to 80 right beside an elementary school. There’s a crossing guard there before and after school but the school soccer field is used at night along side Kariya park. People cross this cross walk with the assumption that cars will stop. Often they are lucky if people slow down. I am surprised there hasn't been deaths here.

I find it doesn't take much imagination to go onto a cities construction threads and post comments like this. I don't go onto pickering and or Milton, or Burlington just to throw out the negativity. Isn't there something more interesting to do.

I also don't understand why you emoji hated my original comment "Decades of extra land so we built out. Now we ran out of land. We build up. Honestly I don’t understand why torontonians expect anything different. Up ok until very recently downtown Toronto was full of surface parking lots. Ever see what was around sky dome when it was built. Nothing. What about air Canada centre. Nothing. There’s a reason most of torontos condos are all glass. They are all relatively new. Is Mississauga behind. Sure. But I don’t know why anyone would expect it not to be." Maybe you know deep down its true. I guess up until recently, based on your own definition.... Toronto was literally one of the least interesting cities imaginable.

Sorry, Mr. Towered...it was not my intention to offend you. I was just pointing out that a city with history of inconsistent/hodgepodge planning and layout is the likely answer to your pointed question, for good or bad. >.<

Respectfully, I disagree. There’s plenty of room for improvement, but I think there are lots of interesting things about Mississauga. It will soon have an LRT providing better transit connections, including to the site of what is planned to be the biggest hospital in Canada. There are numerous eye-catching towers going up throughout the downtown area, adding to an already impressive skyline for a suburb. There are many large parks, and access to the Lake…It seems plenty interesting to me.

I don’t know why you’re couching your comments with “respectfully?.” Respectfully the person isn’t interested in any dialogue.
 
...respectfully the person is interested in naughty dialog though. <3

The Webb extension been on the books for a few decades that I know of and stand to be corrected on it.

If you look at the site in the past, there was a so call road between the park and the site south of Enfield intersection where Webb was to go ' I have never seen a plan for the road and assume it would be an weir connection and use a small section of the site, but not the case today.

With what I saw, haft of the land on Kanya Dr to the south as well all the land to the west that has been used a a storage area is being use for the new road. What happens to the west of the storage area is unknown including where there store the dirt from the other site.

If Camrost-Felcorp has all the land west of Kanya Dr, the Webb extension will angle toward that so call road until it past the school. The school yard maybe able to see more land for it.

I would not be surprised if the excess land to the south will become part of the park.

I noticed these new lights for the intersection as well and you beat me to the punch, again lol.

I had been wondering where the Webb Drive extension would hit Kariya Drive. I guess we now know. It's closer to Burnhamthorpe than I expected.

It will be safer for those who want to cross--I wonder if they'll remove the pedestrian crossing a little further down--seems redundant and a lot of drivers don't particularly pay attention to it

I don’t think it will be as bad (for the land owners) as it seems. The extension will not run parallel to Burnhamthorpe but more south westerly and thus only the east part of the lot will be effected. You see this if you draw a line in Google maps from the current east end of Webb Dr to the west end of Enfield Pl.

Respectfully, this is the worst sales pitch. C'mon! An lrt to the biggest hospital? It's a big lake with a long shoreline in the GTA.
.
Towers and skylines are meaningful on urbantoronto. They aren't an expression of commercial prowess or wealth. They aren't the lifestyle choice like the mid 1990s Hillcrest Condos with large, airy, widesuites. Rather they are more an expression of housing inaffordability.They providing high housing densities but, the environment is paved over. The proof is in the excitement on urbantoronto over silva cells. The paved over environment is a worthy trade off in downtown Toronto but, hardly in Mississauga City Centre.

Point is, there has to more than to Mississauga than bedroom community desires.

It wasn't a sales pitch. I was merely listing things that I find interesting about Mississauga.

You’re right we should’ve just built more single family homes! 😜
