MISSISSAUGA CYCLING NOW!

▶ Welcome to MCN!

Who are we?  Former members of the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee (MCAC) for the 2015-2019 term, freshly collaborating on Mississauga Cycling Now!  Our objective is to create the digital infrastructure necessary to support and promote citizen cycling advocacy and provide a reference/archive for cycling issues in Mississauga.



Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE)

[Updated: October 2, 2025]

Mississauga began a program of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) in 2021 after the provincial government finalized Regulation 398/19 in November 2019.  There are 22 cameras in Mississauga (two for each ward) which are rotated in "school area community safety zones where speeding has proven to be a consistent problem".  An interactive MAP of all current (green) and pending (yellow) locations is published (per example at left), and warning signs are posted in advance of each camera location.

BAN PENDING? The ASE program was put in jeopardy when the Premier of Ontario stated (September 25, 2025) that all speed cameras would be removed under legislation to be introduced in the Fall sitting of the Legislature.

Ford government says it will ban speed cameras across Ontario: He called speed cams a 'cash grab' at a news conference Thursday -- CBC News article (September 25, 2025).  This article documents the immediate, considerable and evidence-based criticism of this plan.

MISSISSAUGA MAYOR'S LETTER: Mayor Carolyn Parrish wrote a Letter to the Ontario Premier - September 26, 2025 (4p PDF) as published in the Agenda (October 1, 2025) of General Committee of Council (with synched video).  Comprehensive review of: How Mississauga’s Program Works, The Evidence, How the Money is Used, Support for the Cameras, Proposed Solution: "consider maintaining the program in school zones."  Images of 4p Letter below.

Take a Walking Tour 🥾

[Updated: October 6, 2025]

We are all pedestrians the moment our feet touch the ground.  Walking tours are just a slower form of active transportation allowing for up-close examination and understanding of the local environs, including safety (or not) for walking, cycling and other forms of micromobility.

PRO TIP: Ride to the event, then walk your bike, using it to catch up with the group if you stop to take photos along the way!

Many annual Walks series will be added as we get them!

Mississauga Cycling Master Plan - 2025 Update 🚲

[Updated: July 4, 2025]

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.

Public engagement will begin June 2025 (originally Fall 2024).  The delay is due to uncertainty about the impacts of Bill 212 which received Royal Assent on November 25, 2024.  Track the project and upcoming meeting dates on the City's dedicated webpage: 2025 Cycling Master Plan update.  Contact info for the project team is posted on the City's webpage, where you can subscribe for project updates.
