Cities of Mississauga & Brampton

Presentation to

Municipal Urban Design Roundtable

May 27, 2011

The LRT Study

Hurontario - Main Street LRT Study

From your own municipal experience, what should we be

considering as we develop urban design concept plans and

guidelines for each character area?

It can be challenging for urban design to play an equal role

along side a transportation lead design project as an LRT.

What would you suggest we (urban designers) do to ensure

that it remain equal to the transportation goals of the Study?

...the way forward to a 21st Century Main Street
