Official title: Sharing Lanes

Open Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation
Mississauga is testing a new street design around Bert Fleming Park to slow traffic and make walking safer. The pilot includes two-way traffic flow, new crosswalks, colourful road art, and a car-free plaza. The city wants to know if these changes are working before deciding whether to make them permanent.

Why This Matters

Live near Bert Fleming Park? Walk your kids to school in the area? This affects your daily commute and safety. The colourful crosswalks and car-free plaza are meant to slow drivers down and give families more space to play. Your feedback will decide if these changes stick around.

What Could Change

If feedback is positive, the temporary traffic islands, crosswalks, and car-free plaza could become permanent fixtures. That means lasting changes to how traffic flows around The Credit Woodlands. If residents report problems, the city may modify or remove the installations.

Key Issues

  • Are the new traffic calming measures improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists?
  • Is the car-free plaza serving the needs of local families and residents?
  • Should these temporary changes become permanent?
