Waterfront Trail extension through JTLCA: Cycling guidelines

[Updated: July 2, 2026]

The Waterfront Trail through Lakeview in SE Mississauga will finally be connected with the Lake Ontario waterfront with the completion of an extension through Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area (JTLCA).  The Waterfront Trail previously detoured along busy Lakeshore Road, away (north) from Lake Ontario.  Now, 1.9 kilometres of the Waterfront Trail has been rerouted closer to the water, creating a safer, more scenic experience.

After the Park opened in May 2026, trails were closed on a rotating basis June 8-26, 2026 for line-painting (NOTICE), re-opening at last on June 27, 2026.  For cyclists planning to explore this scenic extension of the Waterfront Trail, Credit Valley Conservation has provided some guidelines:

CYCLING NOTES: For now, the Waterfront Trail is not a through-route.  In the future, access will open from the Lakeview Village Parks development once construction is complete.  Visitors must enter and exit the conservation area through Marie Curtis Park to the east.  Cycling, e-bikes and e-scooters are only permitted on the Waterfront Trail within JTLCA (there are an additional 1.7 km of side trails for pedestrians only).  The Trail is suitable for new and experienced cyclists.  This is a multi-use trail.  Riders are required to travel at a safe speed and must follow local by-laws and posted trail rules.  Trail surface is primarily asphalt, with two small sections of wood decking for bridge crossings.  CVC's JTLCA Map (1p PDF).  Source: Explore Nature by the Water at Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area.

Mississauga Cycling Master Plan: 2024  2025  2026 Update 🚲

[Updated: May 12, 2026]

Public engagement for the latest Cycling Master Plan Update began June 2025 (originally to be 2024).  The delay initially was due to uncertainty about the impacts of Bill 212 which became law November 25, 2024.  Then came Bill 60 which became law November 27, 2025.  Both bills impose restrictions on bike lanes, disallowed if traffic lanes would need to be reduced per Road Diets.

The final Draft Master Plan was finally expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with presentation to Council and opportunity for public comment in Spring 2026.

▶ PRESENTATION: A presentation regarding the Cycling Master Plan Update was made at the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee (MCAC) on May 12, 2026.  See Revised Agenda Item 7.1 where the Presentation (19-slide PDF) is posted.  Video is archived/embedded in the Agenda.

Take a Walking Tour 🥾

[Updated: July 10, 2026]

We are all pedestrians the moment our feet touch the ground.  Walking tours are just a slower form of active transportation allowing for up-close examination and understanding of local neighbourhoods and villages, including safety (or not) for walking, cycling and other forms of Micromobility.

PRO TIP: Ride to the event, then walk your bike, using it to catch up with the group if you stop to take photos along the way!

Hurontario LRT project (named Hazel McCallion Line in 2022) 🚉

[Updated: May 3, 2026]

"In October 2019, Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) officially announced Mobilinx is the winning bidder for the future Hazel McCallion Line (also known as the Hurontario light rail transit project), bringing one of the largest infrastructure projects in Ontario to Peel Region." -- Metrolinx Hurontario LRT project website.

Years of public consultation including the cycling community (re Cycle Tracks) had taken place prior to delayed awarding of the contract to build the Hurontario LRT.  Deadlines for completion (end of 2022, then 2024) passed.  At Council (GC): April 22, 2026 (Agenda Item 6.1), Metrolinx provided an update in Closed Session on the status of the project which has disrupted Hurontario Street for years.

▶ Global News Toronto article (April 28, 2026): Metrolinx expects 2028 completion date for Hazel McCallion LRT in Mississauga.  "Sources confirmed to Global News that Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay indicated to the city that his agency is now working to complete construction on the initial route by the spring of 2028.  That target date does not include either the [downtown] loop or the extension.  A spokesperson for Metrolinx would not officially confirm the date."

QEW/Credit River Active Transportation Crossings 🛣️

[Updated: May 4, 2026]

2026 PROJECT UPDATE: "During construction in 2024, Indigenous artifacts were discovered in the area of the QEW lanes on the original bridge, on the eastern edge of the site.  Due to the discovery, construction at this location stopped to enable archaeological investigations.  The investigations will continue into 2026.  Once the investigations are complete, MTO will hire a construction firm to complete the remaining works, including the North-South pedestrian bridge" [and opening of the East-West passage under the historic QEW bridge over the Credit River].  An update will be posted later in 2026. -- QEW/Credit River Improvement project News.

▶ Mississauga News article (April 30, 2026): Why isn’t the Mississauga QEW Credit River bridge project fully complete yet?  "According to the MTO, although major work concluded in 2025, key connections remain incomplete until an archaeological investigation concludes."

Ambiguity on Aquitaine Avenue?

[Posted: April 15, 2026]

Public meetings concerning the Aquitaine Avenue Road Safety Improvement Pilot Project (original webpage) took place in 2021-2025.  The impetus?  Staff stated they had heard from many residents with concerns about Aquitaine Avenue:
• Significant concerns about speeding along the corridor
• Concerns about aggressive driving
• Lack of cycling facilities and uncomfortable sidewalks

The road redesign for the Pilot included "four to three" traffic lanes conversion and installation of temporary bike lanes protected by flexposts.  This was in alignment with the City's Vision Zero principles and studies and master plans concerning Road Safety, Complete Streets and Multimodal Transportation (per IMAGE: June 2025 presentation slide 5).

There is ambiguity as to whether the Aquitaine Avenue reconfiguation, which was statistically successful during the Pilot test period: significant decrease in speeding, increase in walking and cycling (per June 2025 presentation slide 10) will actually be implemented, and how.  In March 2026 there were conflicting media reports:

Ontario Bans Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE)

[Updated: November 8, 2025]

The Ontario government has banned municipal speed cameras with the passage of Bill 56, which received royal assent on November 3, 2025.  As of November 14, 2025, municipalities will no longer be allowed to operate ASE cameras in school zones or community safety zones as previously enacted under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA).  Municipalities are instead directed to install adequate school-zone signage; the government will install signs themselves if municipalities do not.

IMAGE: Sample of Ontario government signs provided.

▶ City of Mississauga News Release (November 7, 2025): Just because there are no speed cameras, doesn’t mean there are no speed limits.  Following the Government of Ontario’s motion to ban speed cameras throughout the province as part of Bill 56, the City of Mississauga is ending its speed camera program as of the end of the day on Thursday, November 13.

▶ ONTARIO NEWS RELEASE (September 25, 2025): Ontario Protecting Taxpayers by Banning Municipal Speed Cameras.  Province also introducing new fund to proactively support road and school zone safety without raising costs for drivers.

Excerpt:  To improve road safety, the province will instead establish a new provincial fund to help affected municipalities implement alternative safety measures, including proactive traffic-calming initiatives like speed bumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks and curb extensions, as well as public education and improved signage, to slow down drivers.
