Cities of Mississauga & Brampton
Presentation to
Municipal Urban Design Roundtable
May 27, 2011
The LRT Study
Hurontario - Main Street LRT Study
From your own municipal experience, what should we be
considering as we develop urban design concept plans and
guidelines for each character area?
It can be challenging for urban design to play an equal role
along side a transportation lead design project as an LRT.
What would you suggest we (urban designers) do to ensure
that it remain equal to the transportation goals of the Study?
...the way forward to a 21st Century Main Street
