Overview
The Cycling Master Plan Update project has now concluded, and the final document has been approved by Mississauga City Council. Thank you to all residents and stakeholders for your valuable participation and feedback!
The updated Cycling Master Plan tackles key areas:
- Cycling infrastructure planning and design best practices have changed significantly and updates are required to achieve best practices
- The cycling network must be safe, connected, convenient and comfortable for residents, and visitors of all ages and riding ability to try cycling
- Implementation of new cycling infrastructure will be coordinated with road rehabilitation and major road construction projects, where possible
The cycling network laid out in the Cycling Master Plan will result in 897 kilometres of infrastructure to be built over 27 years. This includes:
- Cycle tracks where a bicycle lane is physically separated from the road by a curb and is either at sidewalk level or slightly lower, reserved for bicycles only
- Bicycle lanes separated from traffic lanes by flexible posts, planters, parking stalls, curbs or other barriers, reserved for bicycles only
- Bicycle lanes where cyclists travel in a lane beside regular traffic lanes, reserved for bicycles only
- Multi-use trails along boulevards and also through parks
- Shared routes between cyclists and motorists on roads with lower speeds
