Community Structure
District Policies Review Public Engagement Process
Community Structure: Transportation
District Policies Review Public Engagement Process
Community Structure: Transportation
Lakeshore Road is both a major corridor and a village main street.
In Lakeview, Lakeshore Road has wide boulevards (30 to 35m) that will provide opportunities for improvements.
Lakeshore will likely remain 4 lanes with a continuous centre turning lane.
Consolidation of entrances and front yard parking will be re-evaluated through new development.
District Policies Review Public Engagement Process
Community Structure: Transportation
Transit will be flexible to meet the growing needs of the community.
An increase in density will coincide with improvements to transit systems.
Promote a balance between transit, driving and other modes of travel such as walking and cycling.
Plans for high order transit along HurontarioStreet from Port Credit connecting into Brampton are being considered.
District Policies Review Public Engagement Process
Community Structure: Transportation
Location of surface parking both street and on site should be re-evaluated.
Parking requirements could help shape new development.
Flexible parking requirements should be addressed through intensification.
Parking strategy will be key for intensification.
