I have witness people on a flight coming in from Western Canada say/think the same thing, trying to find the CN Tower in the Mississauga skyline. Can you imagine how bewildering it must be everyday for people arriving at Pearson Airport from around the world who are seeing an impressive skyline...

The glass colour in real life versus in the conceptual images reminds me of a coffee table from the late 1980s-early 1990s, but I am hoping that the final product will look good and grow on us. Many iconic buildings were not appreciated when they were first constructed but won favour from the...

The corner of Dundas and Ninth Line will have a mini skyline of 7 towers: 6 condos and a mausoleum 😅

Such a cool photo, including with the older building in the foreground! It looks like it was taken in a BIG city!!

Are we talking about the same cities? Dundas in Oakville and Burlington does not have any GO stations on it (aside from several GO bus stops nearby), but rather is a major corridor where many shopping centres (such as at Dundas and Trafalgar, Dundas and Neyagawa etc) are located, as well as the...

In Burlington and Oakville Dundas is 6 lanes (and 8 lanes at intersections) wide and the whole area north of the street towards highway 407 is being intensively developed. This DEFINITELY justifies the transit expansion there. The lack of ridership is probably due to factors such as lack of...

The Halton stretch in Oakville and Burlington is desperately needed.

This is from the Beaverton or the Onion, right?

Kitchener be like: 💅🏽

I think some of the older Mississauga neighbourhoods have individual plots of SFH being redeveloped for more density. You see this when riding the GO Lakeshore West line, especially where tiny 1950’s „cottages“ are on a large plot of land. Where it might take a few generations to see the...

Today a segment from a TVOThe Agenda discussion panel on Mississauga regarding its transition to being a proper city versus a suburb was uploaded on YouTube. Just an interesting point to continue our conversation.

How many storeys have been poured so far?

I can walking through winding parking lots and tower alleys and crossing wide streets might make walking unpleasant. But trees along the sidewalk and in medians, public artwork, more buildings (and smaller parking lots!) would go a long way in encouraging foot-traffic. I remember visiting...

I noticed that most pictures from the street level of the Mississauga City Centre are devoid of pedestrians. Is this just a coincidence or done on purpose for privacy reason or is there currently little foot traffic? I hope that with more of these developments, their commercial and institutional...

Hopefully the other parking lots are developed nearby also which may provide more opportunities for amenities and parks. Retail is still available in the surrounding area and a certain portion of the development will be retail. I am not familiar with the area- is there green space available in...

It‘s a peepee pad for dogs 😅

That‘s insane! I live in Germany where most cities cluster their schools around streetcar, subway, and regional transit stations with little to no parking lots, including in small towns in the countryside. Even though these were usually built in the post-war period when highways were expanded...

It sounds like a traffic bottleneck!

Wow that‘s a wide road! I hope eventually the area will feel more urban and pedestrian-friendly.

Any updates to this project, such as when construction will start?
