MISSISSAUGA CYCLING NOW!

▶ Cycling Master Plan - Updates

City of Mississauga: "Every five years, we update the Cycling Master Plan (CMP) to make sure it aligns with new and changing guidelines and the needs and values of residents."  The Mississauga Cycling Master Plan was last updated in 2018.  This was not a full review, but an overdue update to the original CMP created in 2010.  The 2018 CMP update never met its targets (neither did the 2010 plan), and now collectively we must again advocate for a structured plan that will be successfully implemented, year by year, with clear targets and measurable milestones leading to priority completion of a safe, connected cycling network.  ▶ See also from: Mississauga - Cycling Policies; Minimum Grid



Mississauga Cycling Master Plan: 2024  2025  2026 Update 🚲

[Posted: Sept. 9, 2024; Updated Nov. 27, 2024; Feb. 1, 2025; May 28, 2025; June 7, 2025; July 4, 2025; Nov. 1, 2025; May 12, 2026]

Public engagement for the latest Cycling Master Plan Update began June 2025 (originally to be 2024).  The delay initially was due to uncertainty about the impacts of Bill 212 which became law November 25, 2024.  Then came Bill 60 which became law November 27, 2025.  Both bills impose restrictions on bike lanes, disallowed if traffic lanes would need to be reduced per Road Diets.

The final Draft Master Plan was finally expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with presentation to Council and opportunity for public comment in Spring 2026.

PRESENTATION: A presentation regarding the Cycling Master Plan Update was made at the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee (MCAC) on May 12, 2026See Revised Agenda Item 7.1 where the Presentation (19-slide PDF) is posted.  Video is archived/embedded in the Agenda.

The context of the latest CMP Update includes recent examples of cities around the world (Bonjour Paris!) finally deciding to de-prioritize the car and facilitate active transportation in order to boost liveability.  This has taken leadership and political will, but the environmental, social and economic benefits have proven that cycling is a key component of city building, creating a great place to live.

SURVEY: An Online Survey and Mapping Tool (see Maps) was open from June 4 - July 6, 2025 for residents to share their experiences and ideas for improving cycling in Mississauga.

MISSISSAUGA'S NEXT 50 YEARS: To kick off Mississauga's 2024-25 Strategic Plan review, and also set the stage for the Cycling Master Plan update (originally planned for 2024), urbanist and city planner Brent Toderian spoke at the Living Arts Centre (LAC) on January 17, 2024 about creating liveable, sustainable cities.  He stated that cycling is key to the strategy for positive change, including a 3-year build of a Minimum Grid of protected bike lanes in Mississauga.

NOTE: The continuation of these projects was delayed by the 2024 Mississauga mayoral by-election held in June 2024.
