The answer to the question about synchronizing the traffic lights to improve traffic flow seemed ambiguous to me. What are the signal timing plans? Simply put is the ATMS being used now to imrove traffic flow? If this is in place then, it’s not working. Eg. To travel up Winston Churchill or Erin Mills Parkway from the QEW to the 401 can take over half an hour! The reverse is the same. It is critical to get the traffic moving! Initiate strategies to achieve this!

The
City of Mississauga’s legacy Traffic Control system was installed with the
primary goal of providing central monitoring and control capabilities along the
City corridors. However, given the growth that has occurred over the past
several decades, the City of Mississauga and surrounding area have experienced
increased and changing traffic demand, resulting in increased congestion. To
address this, the replacement of the legacy Traffic Control System, in
conjunction with the transitioning of 777 intersections, served as the initial
phase in the implementation of the City’s Advanced Transportation Management
System (ATMS). This was completed this past summer. In addition, the City
recently constructed a new Traffic Management Centre and upgraded the City’s
traffic signal communications, using the City’s fibre and Wi-Fi network to
support the management, monitoring and control needs of an expanded and
enhanced transportation network.
The
next phase of the ATMS project, which is currently underway, involves the
demonstration of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) initiatives like
traffic detection smart technology to enable adaptive/responsive traffic
controls to automatically adjust traffic signal timings, a Travel Time System
to measure travel times, Portable Variable Message Signs (PVMS) for displaying
travel times or construction related activity, Closed Circuit Television
Cameras (CCTV) to monitor traffic incidents and Event Management to manage
incidents along the corridor. In addition, the ATMS Demonstration will provide
a framework and allow staff to complete the following tasks:
To
trial the technologies (Installation maintenance reliability)
To
evaluate the effectiveness (of each technology deployed)
To
evaluate the impact on traffic flow
To
provide reliability in performance
To
be able to build business cases for future deployments
For additional information relating to Mississauga’s ATMS, please

I'm interested in the Lakeview development in regards to transportation. I would like to suggest a rapid transit line northbound form Lakeshore, running up the current hydro corridor and connecting directly with East West rapid transit lines such as the busway and connections to Missisauga City Centre, Kipling transit hub, and possibly the airport. I understand there might be an extension of the TTC streetcar, which would help those travelling East into Toronto. But if there are going to be as many thousands as we hope, commuting to and from this area, then would not an LRT or other rapid transit become necessary? Otherwise I fear most people will be travelling into this area by car, as I doubt many will want to have to take the Lakeshore transit to get to and from work.

The Lakeshore Connecting Communities
study is ongoing and is guiding the planning and investing in the
transportation network in the Lakeshore Corridor, including decisions about
optimizing roadways, improving transit, and enhancing cycling and walking
connections. With these potential improvements, transit, cycling and walking
become more viable modes of transportation along the corridor. As part of the
Lakeshore Connecting Communities study a series of higher order transit
improvements are being considered, including provision of dedicated transit
lanes in the vicinity of the Lakeview development site. Further information on the
project can be found on the project website at www.connectlakeshore.ca.
Decisions about improving transit along
the Lakeshore corridor will help the City in building a network of higher order
transit lines. This includes connecting the proposed higher order Lakeshore
transit service to north-south running transit routes both to the east and west
of the Lakeview site. To the west of Lakeview the improved transit service
would be connected to the future Hurontario LRT which will have a stop at Park
Street next to the Port Credit GO Station. Connections to the Hurontario LRT
will also provide rapid transit service north towards the Mississauga
transitway and to proposed higher order transit on Dundas Street as part of the
Dundas Connects study. To the east of Lakeview the improved transit service
would be connected to the TTC network, including the 944 Kipling South Express
bus route which provides limited stop service north to Kipling Subway station.

Why is there no reporting system or any culpability for your transit services? When a bus skips stops or puts the wrong route on or refuses to let passengers (including the elderly and people with strollers) on buses just because they were two meters away from the bus shelter? How are you going to reassure passengers that you are ensuring the best services if there's no way for you to know what's happening to us regularly? In so unacceptable that residents other residents say this type of service and behaviour is normal. It's especially disappointing when you have employees that are so considerate. How can we report their excellent service?

I have lived in Mississauga since 1969. I understand that a large amount our taxes go to pay for the transit. I regularly notice that most the time the buses are running almost empty especially during the non-rush hours and further more articulated buses. This seems to me very costly way to move people and besides that more resources are used thereby producing more pollution. During non-rush hours and on less travelled routes, smaller buses could be used. This will also reduce the capital expenditure. I suggest that a detailed time and motion study should be done to optimize the transit system. We have to keep transit spending within affordable limits. Your response would be appreciated.

Toronto Pearson airport has a campaign to build #UnionStationWest to help transportation for the area for commuters. What actions has the city of Mississauga taken to align themselves with this vision? There's mentions of Union Station in the draft, but no mention of the initiatives currently in motion.

Union Station West, also termed the Regional Transit Centre, is a proposal by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), to provide among other things better connections to Pearson Airport for travellers and airport employees. The GTAA is consulting with the City of Mississauga on this transformative project. Providing transit connections to Pearson Airport has always been a priority for the City of Mississauga and this is demonstrated with the recent addition of the MiWay Route 100 Airport Express, a limited stop express service along the Transitway from the Winston Churchill Transitway Station through Mississauga’s downtown core to Terminal 1 and 3. The City is also actively involved in the Eglinton West LRT Extension project that will connect the Eglinton Crosstown LRT along Eglinton Avenue in Toronto to Pearson Airport through the Airport Corporate Centre in Mississauga. In addition to these studies, future corridor studies on roads in the vicinity of the airport will be undertaken namely Derry Road, Airport Road, Dixie Road and Eglinton Avenue.

What are the plans for Miway after 2021? The LRT should be built and Miway 5 ran its course, this is only two years away and I can't find any information on service improvements beyond MiWay 5, I'm a little concerned that this isn't a priority when it really should be considering that Miway 5 is supposed covert the system to a grid when we don't have 30 minute service minimums, we need massive service increases to make it work. But too bad that the city budgeted half the service hour increases this year from last year.

MiWay has initiated work towards developing the next MiWay Five Service Plan. This Plan will detail the service improvement plans for the period form 2021 – 2025. The key objectives of the next five year plan will be to build upon the network improvements made since 2016, further expanding express services, strengthening the hierarchy of service, improving service levels throughout the week in response to ridership demand and integrating the future Hurontario LRT.
Additionally, Action #13 in the Draft Transportation Master Plan includes the proposes that the City should “complete a comprehensive review of the City’s long-term transit network, including potential high-frequency network, and update the associated schedule that appears in the Mississauga Official Plan”. The Official Plan guides how land, including roadways are planned, designed and built. The Transportation Action Plan is expected to finalized this Spring, subject to Council approval. Staff will begin work on the long-term transit network as a priority, once the Plan is voted into effect by Council.

The new MiWay Airport Express route 100 travels on the Mississauga Transitway between Winston Churchill Terminal and the Toronto Pearson Airport, including a stop at City Centre Transit Terminal, every 16 minutes between 4am and 7pm Monday to Friday. Route 100 will be operated with a standard 40ft bus initially. There will be no special provision for luggage onboard, although passengers are welcome to bring suitcases onboard (please be aware that for the safety of all customers onboard MiWay buses, aisles cannot be blocked). See schedules and learn more at www.miway.ca. GO Transit also operates bus service between Square One and Pearson Airport. See schedules for GO Bus route 40 and learn more at www.gotransit.ca.

I want know why the number 1W bus and the 101A don't run as frequently as the the 1C and 101. There are too many 1C's and 101W and not enough 1W and 101A. They should be balanced. I find myself always being late even though I should have more than enough time to get to my destination but the 1W and 101W take so long to come that all of sudden I'm strapped on time. Please make them ru more frequent. Even the #3 Bloor bus takes too long and it's a popular route it should be running every 10 minutes.

Frequency
improvements are typically based on ridership demand. Schedules are designed
based on this demand to ensure sufficient capacity is available. As demand
along routes or sections of routes increase, Service Development staff work
towards increasing frequency to ensure the service levels provided continue to
respond to customers’ needs. Along the Dundas corridor, our most recent
ridership data indicates that a significant amount of the ridership occurs
between east of Erin Mills Parkway. As such, when designing both local and
express services along the corridor, two variants were implemented so that when
combined, both variants together provide a higher level of frequency along the
portion of the corridor that experiences greater passenger volumes. Extending both
variants to Laird/Vega Loop would result in additional travel time being added
to the route(s) which consequently would result in wider frequencies.
MiWay operates with limited resources and as such we are obligated to use them
as efficiently as possible. We constantly monitor ridership levels along all
our routes to determine ridership demand. This information is reviewed and
based on this data, improvements to routes (routing changes and/or schedule
changes) are implemented. Please rest assured that we are monitoring the
Dundas corridor very closely as this is one of our busiest transit corridors.
Should demand increase, we will surely take steps to improve service.

Why does Mississauga not have a bylaw about residents clearing snow from sidewalks? With winter coming, either increase city sidewalk clearing to include ALL sidewalks or enact a bylaw for citizens to HAVE to clear snow and ice from their sidewalks within 24 hours. No point in having the "primary" street sidewalk cleared by the city of you can't safely get to it. Sends too many pedestrians onto the roads which are not cleared either. You want to make the city more walkable then make it safe to walk in all seasons!
