OHHA FB Group - OH Park Bridge - Post "pending"

Image
Original Post "Pending OHHA FB admin approval" as at 9:45PM 07.20.2022 As with the Credit River Bridge, it would have been helpful for the OHHA also, to host community meetings (real or virtual) with members of the City of Mississauga Cycling Committee, together with the technical staff responsible for producing the approved 2018 Cycling Master Plan in attendance, to present the OH Park Bridge funded and slated for construction in November 2019, and to address any concerns OH residents may have in relation to the project, PRIOR to conducting the 2021 “Survey” in which 19% of respondents were “unaware” of the bridge and 11% were “unsure” whether or not they “support” the project.

How Stephen Dasko Lost My Vote For Ward 1 Councillor, Let Alone for Mayor of Mississauga

As Mississaugans prepare to cast their ballots in tomorrow’s too-close-to-call Mayoral Election, here are some points to ponder: 1. In 2021, Councillor Dasko turned 180 degrees back on his 2018 pre-election promise to follow-through on a key element in the City of Mississauga’s Cycling Master Plan to install a CONNECTED, CONVENIENT, COMFORTABLE and SAFE Foot-Bike Bridge connecting SE Lakeview-Mississauga to Toronto’s spectacular Etobicoke Creek Trail – a project approved by a unanimous Council vote in 2018, financed and scheduled for construction in 2019. 2. While Councillor Dasko rightly criticized Doug Ford’s dictatorial “with the stroke of the pen” Ministerial Zoning Order (MZO) issued for developments planned and under construction in Lakeview-Mississauga, Stephen Dasko himself stopped the work-in-progress Orchard Heights Park Foot-Bike Bridge by a single email to Mississauga Parks Management Staff - a dictatorial move in all but name – which caters to a minority of Orchard Heights...
