GO Transit will own and operate the Terminal, which will be used primarily by Mississauga Transit, GO Transit and provide access routes for TTC buses to the existing TTC terminal. The Terminal is located on lands partially owned by the City and partially owned by Hydro One. The City owned land forms part of an existing TTC parking lot and an area which forms the easterly portion of Subway Crescent. This area will be stopped up and closed, and subsequently be conveyed to GO Transit. The proposed closing date in the MOU for the City lands, within the boundaries of the Terminal, is June 30, 2008 as the process to close Subway Crescent is expected to be complete by that date. City staff will be reporting to City Council on this matter in due course.

The City of Mississauga is moving closer to a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system with the opening of the new BRT Project Office. This office, in conjunction with GO Transit, will oversee the design and construction of the Mississauga segment of the BRT, running parallel to Highway 403, Eastgate Parkway and Eglinton Avenue. The first phase of the BRT, expected to be completed by 2011, is from Mississauga City Centre easterly to Renforth Drive at the Mississauga/Toronto border.

Steve: The carhouse study for Transit City is already taking into account the need for a joint TTC/Mississauga facility somewhere in Etobicoke. Also, Metrolinx proposes that it be set up as the standards authority for vehicle specification and procurement. In practice, this means buses because the spec for the TTC subway car is already well-established, and the LRV contract is in the RFP stage. Further out, a new generation of “Transit City” LRVs will obviously set the regional standard, and unless someone at Metrolinx is terminally stupid, these cars will build on the “city” cars as a starting point.

Mississauga, August 11, 2005 – The City of Mississauga and Viacom Outdoor have entered into an agreement to install solar powered lighting in new Mississauga Transit bus shelters that do not contain advertising. The agreement is the result of a successful pilot project in 2004 where 39 bus shelters were installed with solar powered lights, resulting in significant cost savings for the City.
