Bike Trail Connectivity Presentation

In March 2008, Stephen Largy gave a presentation to the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee outlining ideas on ways to expedite connectivity between the existing bike trails in Mississauga. As always when laying out new bike lanes and trails, safety and visible route identification must be taken into consideration.

The Mississauga Multi-Use Recreational Trail system is an extensive combination of trails, bike routes, and road routes that comprises an almost 180 km network. Developed over almost twenty years, these trails provide an opportunity for the residents of Mississauga to get out into their city to walk, stroll, rollerblade, skateboard or cycle for relaxation, health, or just plain pleasure.

The trail system is almost completely built out in Mississauga’s parks and green spaces and now needs to be “safely connected” through street and roadway bike lanes and bike routes. Join the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee in encouraging City Council to commit to safely “connecting” and finishing our great cycling network now!
