Mississauga Transit and Road Infrastructure Plan Executive Summary

https://pub-mississauga.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=77198

The idea of higher order transit along Erin Mills is so ridiculous. Burnhamthorpe is worthless too, and good luck dealing with protesters in Etobicoke.

And forget about the stupid downtown loop too. Just finish the Transitway, build the two long-proposed Transitway stations in the City Centre, and build the long-proposed secondary City Centre bus terminal.

What is the secondary city centre bus terminal?

What is the secondary city centre bus terminal?

Before the LRT, the second terminal was proposed to be located at along the north side of Rathburn between Centre View Dr and Hurontario Street to connect with the Hurontario transitway station. This is similar to the way the existing City Centre Transit Terminal was designed to connect to a Square One transitway station. The current Square One GO Station along Station Gate Road was meant to be temporary and be replaced by the transitway station. Of course, the Transitway through the City Centre was never built so these stations and the second terminal were also never built, hence the congestion we see in and around the existing City Centre and Square One GO terminals.

That so-called "Long Term Transit Network" omits not only a complete Transitway (with new stations at Ridgeway, Creditview, Square One, and Hurontario), but also the 407 Transitway (with stations at Britannia and Derry). You can still see them here:

There was also a proposed Transitway station at Mavis that has since been deleted. If they are smart, they will at least build an entrance/exit point for Mavis BRT buses to use the Transitway to get to CCTT/Square One Station.

So, abandon all future plans for higher order transit in Mississauga? Shall we just widen all the roads around the city and get it over with?
