Mississauga Civic Centre Key Initiatives 2012
The 'Mississauga Civic Centre Key Initiatives' nomination by the City of Mississauga has been invited for a full submission to outline what unique transportation initiatives have been undertaken in Mississauga Civic Centre and how they will contribute to the development and enhancement of sustainable urban transportation. The Mississauga Civic Centre district is envisioned in the 'Downtown21 Master Plan' as a common and connected civic space that extends over five blocks from Burnhamthorpe Road to Rathburn Road between Living Arts Drive and Duke of York Boulevard. Not only it is home to the City's premiere public institutions and amenities including the City Hall, Central Library, Living Arts Centre and Square One Shopping Mall, the Civic Centre district is recognized by its key initiatives, such as the City's first single-lane downtown roundabout, 'flush' Square One Drive, 'ceremonial' Duke of York Boulevard, Scholars' Green Park, and the new Sheridan College Post Secondary Institution, Hazel McCallion Campus. This submission will focus only on a number of key initiatives, endorsed by the Master Plan - it will illustrate how these initiatives are aligned with key strategies specified in the New Vision for Urban Transportation, which will lead into transforming cities to be more efficient, environmentally friendly and desirable to live in. This project was nominated for the TAC 2011 Sustainable Urban Transportation Award. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD record number 201211RT334E.
