A new park and community centre are being built in the foreground.

Great use of underused space in my mind. Official website here.

A lot of stuff happening...
I expect Ninth Line to be redeveloped with new sidewalks and dedicated bike lanes.

This one is closer to Eglinton

Mississauga purchased the land from Milton for the purpose of densification.

On a serious note, it's such a shame we didn't build the yellow belt in this way to begin with (townhouses and low rise apartments). We could have had so much more housing stock and room for parks/rec/green space. I think we will forever regret this.

Still not ideal, as this is incredibly car-oriented. What we really need is to make complete communities. The real shame is that we didn't take the opportunity to build TOD complete communities around GO stations (like streetcar suburbs), and forgot to reserve ROWs for regional rail to make more of them.

Yes, of course. I left out many of the details in my wistful wishes, but in my vision, midrise suburbia would be criss crossed by protected biking lanes and BRT. I was referring solely to the format of the residential density.

What streets are they portraying there? Are they suggesting Ninth Line will be anything other than a traffic gutter?
