Clarkson GO – Transit-Oriented Community

The proposal for the Clarkson GO Transit-Oriented Community (TOC) has the potential to deliver new housing, employment opportunities, and publicly accessible areas that will support the creation of a community that has public spaces for relaxation and play next to the Clarkson GO Station along...

There will be two engagement sessions in late January 2026. Project documents can be requested here as well.

The NIMBY's will have an outroar here.

It is right by a GO station, but there's not much around this GO station. It's no Port Credit.

 

[Tim MacDonald]

That north lot is a disaster at the best of times as the creek creates a chokepoint. Still, I think if anything gets built at a Mississauga GO station, Cooksville should come first since the proximity to MCC, the LRT and the more centred georgraphy make movement easier. Shoehorning seven towers here without a great north south option is pointless.

This isn't the best shot but it shows a good chunk of the north lot.

Keeping that north lot passenger pick up area must be some sort of a joke. It barely functions at the best of times.

There shouldn't be any driveway along the river, it should be pedestrian only and landscaped from building to riverbank.

The density is appropriate and welcome, but I would've expected them to focus on the south parking lot for development first and then turn to the north lot. I may have missed something, but I didn't see any mention of the plans for the south lot, which is closer to existing retail.

Also, buried in the report is a notation that Metrolinx wants an expanded bus loop at Clarkson GO. The report notes that Metrolinx may decide to put the bus loop in place of the Block C towers. That would cut this development from 7 towers to 4.

If the south lot is eventually re-developed, the area will probably need more park space. But any park space on the south side of the tracks might not be well connected with the Nine Creeks Trail.

I would seriously consider putting the remaining 4 towers on the south side, and moving the park space you would otherwise need on the south side over to the north lot. That would give you one big park centred on Sheridan Creek.

You could also consider closing a section of Bromsgrove Rd east of Sheridan Creek by linking the western portion with Wiseman Court to the north.

I’m coming out of retirement to say although everything you say makes sense the fact is that cooksville does not have AD2W service and the condo dwellers there will simply have to use that hurontario lrt to get to the lakeshore line. As a result at least this line has the proper service today versus crayon lines on a map about a utopian future. The real answer is to fix the Milton line but God forbid we do that.

 

[Midtown Urbanist]

That creek should be naturalized through this segment as part of the plans. @Northern Light am I wrong?

 

[Northern Light]

Ok.... since @Midtown Urbanist summoned me to look at this.........

Hot Mess, Garbage, and Dumpster Fire. are the immediate terms that come to mind.

The idea of intensifying here is just fine, but the proposed massing, road layout, pops and treatment of the creek are all completely and utterly wrong.

****

The proposed road not only cuts the new community in the north lot off from the creek, at its southern point, the road is within the current flood regulation area and on property not currently owned by the province.

From the CVCA's Flood Regulation Map:

This is very poorly thought out. They've also elected not to make any of the Planning Docs except for the justification report public, so I'd have to request them.

Busy time of year, but if I get a chance I'll do a back of the napkin re-work here. It would likely be less dense in footprint, simply to make more room for the creek.

I agree with others who said the south lot needs to be examined here and the site treated more wholistically.

On parkland, for now, I want at least 10M of continuous green, at the bare minimum from Stable Top of Bank next to the creek. I also think any park featuring amenities would ideally be adjacent to same creating a critical mass of green space.

***

Let me bring a couple of other images from the Justification Report down for people:

On Parks:

We can see the outline of a future south site proposal here:

On Slope Stability:

0 to 7M setbacks? You must be kidding.

***

On Geotech:

@ADRM will love the idea of blasting through bedrock, in a flood zone to create underground parking! Ha! Not just dumb, who the hell is paying for that?

Oh that's another good one, they know they're displacing flood storage capacity, so they're going to have to aim for some combination of raising the grade of the site, in whole or in part and then they need to create flood storage space, likely in underground tanks to compensate.........

Who does this?

****

Several here may wish to chip with their thoughts on 30M separation distances and a 45 degree angular plane............ as to my take, the 90s called and want their planning back.

Just hit the delete key on this crap and start over.

I figured it was something like this after one look at the plans...

 

[innsertnamehere]

The site plan here makes absolutely 0 sense. This is hilariously terrible - and usually IO is pretty good at putting out decently well thought out plans too (they aren't real after all!), which makes it all the more ridiculous.
