Click to sign and share the petition WOLF RUCK  started this petition to  Bonnie Crombie (City of Mississauga Mayor)  and  2 others Without the long-delayed OH Park Foot/Bike Bridge connection to the Etobicoke Creek Trail, Dixie Road is currently the only direct option for OH residents to walk/run/bike/roll to Lakeshore Road to access Browns Line business & shopping/Trillium Health & Sherway Plaza/Long Branch GO Station/Long Branch TTC/Marie Curtis Park/Eastbound Waterfront Trail to Toronto/Westbound Waterfront Trail to Port Credit, etc. ...

Image
FOI Documents In Chronological Order Copies of email correspondence with attached documents have been received pursuant to a Freedom Of Information (FOI) request registered with the City of Mississauga in October 2022. Their content gives rise to serious questions in regard to the rationale and validity of the City’s decision to put the 2018-approved-and-funded and 2019-scheduled OH Park Foot-Bike Bridge “ on hold indefinitely and revisited in future ”. Specifically: 1.      The City of Mississauga’s January 25-February 15, 2021 Orchard Heights Park Public Engagement Survey Results , together with  Councillor Dasko’s May-June, 2021 “door knocking survey”  confirmed that a majority of respondents were in favour of the bridge.
