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.


Hurontario LRT project (named Hazel McCallion Line in 2022)

[Posted: April 19, 2026]

"In October 2019, Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) officially announced Mobilinx is the winning bidder for the future Hazel McCallion Line (also known as the Hurontario light rail transit project), bringing one of the largest infrastructure projects in Ontario to Peel Region." -- Metrolinx Hurontario LRT project website.

Many years of public consultation including with the cycling community had already taken place prior to the delayed awarding of the contract to build the Hurontario LRT.  Deadlines for completion (end of 2022, then 2024) have passed.  At Council (GC): April 22, 2026 (Agenda Item 6.1), Metrolinx is to provide an update in Closed Session on the status of the project which has disrupted Hurontario Street for years.

▶ Mississauga News article (February 27, 2026): Metrolinx declines Cooksville town hall request amid LRT construction concerns.

Excerpt:  The last official timeline update was provided in 2019.  Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish has mentioned 2029 as a possible timeline.  Metrolinx said it will present to Mississauga council this spring and host an open house or town hall afterward.

Mississauga Cycling Master Plan: 2024  2025  2026 Update 🚲

[Updated: April 17, 2026]

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.

Public engagement began June 2025 (originally to be 2024).  The delay initially was due to uncertainty about the impacts of Bill 212 which received Royal Assent on November 25, 2024.  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.

Track the project and upcoming meeting dates on the City's dedicated webpage: Implementing the Cycling Master Plan.  Contact info for the project team is posted on the City's webpage, where you can subscribe for updates.

Ambiguity on Aquitaine Avenue?

[Posted: April 15, 2026]

Public meetings concerning the Aquitaine Avenue Road Safety Improvement Pilot Project (original webpage) took place in 2021-2025.  The impetus?  Staff stated they had heard from many residents with concerns about Aquitaine Avenue:
• Significant concerns about speeding along the corridor
• Concerns about aggressive driving
• Lack of cycling facilities and uncomfortable sidewalks

The road redesign for the Pilot included "four to three" traffic lanes conversion and installation of temporary bike lanes protected by flexposts.  This was in alignment with the City's Vision Zero principles and studies and master plans concerning Road Safety, Complete Streets and Multimodal Transportation (per IMAGE: June 2025 presentation slide 5).

There is ambiguity as to whether the Aquitaine Avenue reconfiguation, which was statistically successful during the Pilot test period: significant decrease in speeding, increase in walking and cycling (per June 2025 presentation slide 10) will actually be implemented, and how.  In March 2026 there were conflicting media reports:

Ontario Bans Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE)

[Updated: November 8, 2025]

The Ontario government has banned municipal speed cameras with the passage of Bill 56, which received royal assent on November 3, 2025.  As of November 14, 2025, municipalities will no longer be allowed to operate ASE cameras in school zones or community safety zones as previously enacted under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA).  Municipalities are instead directed to install adequate school-zone signage; the government will install signs themselves if municipalities do not.

IMAGE: Sample of Ontario government signs provided.

▶ City of Mississauga News Release (November 7, 2025): Just because there are no speed cameras, doesn’t mean there are no speed limits.  Following the Government of Ontario’s motion to ban speed cameras throughout the province as part of Bill 56, the City of Mississauga is ending its speed camera program as of the end of the day on Thursday, November 13.

▶ ONTARIO NEWS RELEASE (September 25, 2025): Ontario Protecting Taxpayers by Banning Municipal Speed Cameras.  Province also introducing new fund to proactively support road and school zone safety without raising costs for drivers.

Excerpt:  To improve road safety, the province will instead establish a new provincial fund to help affected municipalities implement alternative safety measures, including proactive traffic-calming initiatives like speed bumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks and curb extensions, as well as public education and improved signage, to slow down drivers.
