Official title: Sharing Lanes

Open Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation
Mississauga installed a pilot traffic calming project around Bert Fleming Park in The Credit Woodlands neighbourhood. The changes include new two-way traffic flow, six crosswalks, colourful street 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 neighbourhood safety. The city wants to hear if the new crosswalks and traffic changes are actually making things safer—or causing new problems.

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 on The Credit Woodlands. If residents report problems, the city may modify or remove the installations.

Key Issues

  • Are the new traffic flow changes reducing vehicle speeds and collisions?
  • Is pedestrian safety improved, especially for students and families?
  • Is the car-free plaza serving the community's needs?
  • Should these temporary changes become permanent?
