Pedestrians and cyclists in Mississauga will benefit from enhancements to the local trail and bike path network after an investment of almost $8.8 million from the federal government.
Fares Al Soud, Member of Parliament for Mississauga Centre and Iqra Khalid, Member of Parliament for Mississauga-Erin Mills; joined Mississauga Councillors Joe Horneck, Ward 6; and Stephen Dasko, Ward 1; to announce joint investments in two active transportation projects.
Culham Trail is a key connector in Mississauga, helping to move more than 500,000 people annually. However, it has suffered severe flood damage, resulting in some portions being closed since 2024. The federal government's investment will help to reconstruct nearly four kilometres of multi-use path and bicycle lanes, as well as assist in elevating the pathway to prevent future flooding. Additional enhancements will include amenities like new benches, implementation of a bike share system, upgraded signage, and landscaping.
North of Lakeshore Road, a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge will be constructed. Spanning approximately 65 metres, the Port Credit Active Transportation Bridge will improve connectivity across the Credit River by linking Port Credit and its GO station to the Mineola West neighbourhood. The bridge deck will provide a comfortable, safe and accessible route for people to walk or ride a bike, while being completely separated from motor vehicle traffic.
Active transportation infrastructure like trails and bridges are a convenient and accessible way for residents to get around. By supporting Canadians to walk, run, bike, or roll, we are building strong, vibrant and healthy communities.
