Well that's exactly the point. Just because it happens elsewhere, why does it have to automatically have to apply to what is happening in Mississauga City Centre?
If its one thing that Mississauga has learned, is from the mistakes made from the past, and mistakes made by other cities including Toronto.
The wide streets you speak of are now being narrowed with parking lanes. New roads are narrow, have bike lanes and wide marked cross walks. Condo podiums do not have dinky podiums, but have walk up town homes and retail spaces. You are completely wrong when you state they are built far from the street. Almost all are built right up to the street.
Mississauga is already proving you and many others wrong. A good example is the Absolute project. I recall many were calling it the end of the world because it was a “gated community†in the centre of Mississauga. A highly acclaimed international design competition, 56 and 50 storeys, a sold out building, construction in less than a year, and a Hurontario LRT announced on its front door, suddenly the project isn’t such a joke anymore.
That is just one major example and it’s only the beginning.
