Our Vision for Hurontario-Main:
A vibrant, sustainable, beautiful street
A vibrant Hurontario-Main corridor is a central
piece of Mississauga and Brampton’s vision
for the future, with a LRT system providing
key transportation connections, both north/
south and with the GO Transit system. The
LRT system – from downtown Brampton
to the lakeshore in Port Credit – promotes
Developing the
LRT System
This current phase, from December 2011
through fall 2013, builds on the
Mississauga and Brampton Master Plan
as the LRT Project Team moves forward
to ‘Define, Develop and Design’ the
LRT system.
Community outreach is a key part of the
Preliminary Design stage of the LRT
Project, which includes the Transit Project
Assessment Process (TPAP) required by the
Province of Ontario.

What’s Been Done So Far
Project History
From 2008-2011, the cities of
Mississauga and Brampton carried out
the ‘Hurontario-Main Street Master Plan’
exploring transit options for the corridor
between the lakeshore in Port Credit and
downtown Brampton. The city-building
initiative is identified as a priority project
by Metrolinx. At the conclusion of the
study with technical analysis and public
input, light rail transit (LRT) was selected
as the best transit option.
sustainable, well-managed growth.
The Hurontario-Main LRT is a major step
in transforming our communities from
‘suburban’ to ‘urban’.

Preliminary Design/
TPAP work includes:
•Corridor alignment
In April 2012, the cities of Mississauga and
Brampton hosted Open Houses, giving the
public and stakeholders an opportunity to
reacquaint themselves with the proposed
LRT system along the Hurontario-Main
corridor. These Open Houses launched a
consultation effort, as the LRT Project Team
gathers input and feedback about various
aspects of the proposed LRT system.
As part of this consultation process,
Mississauga and Brampton are hosting a
series of Public Information Centres (PICs).
The PICs provide opportunities to learn
more about the Hurontario-Main LRT
system, and provide additional feedback
as the project moves forward.
The first PICs were held in June 2012,
focusing on concept alternatives.
•LRT system design
•Transit network integration

What We’ve Heard
Approximately 850 people participated
and viewed the display boards, met
members of the Project Team and provided
feedback. Roundtable meetings and
workshops with stakeholder groups have
also been very productive.
A number of themes have emerged from
the consultations – some about the overall
LRT Project and others specific to either
Mississauga or Brampton. The LRT Project
Team is taking this feedback into account
as it develops and refines the LRT design.
•Traffic impacts
•Environmental protection and
considerations (such as the
natural, cultural and socioeconomic environment)
A sampling of issues identified as
priorities by consultation participants:
•Public realm and landscaping
along the corridor
•The LRT should be segregated
from other traffic
•Cost estimates (including
implementation and
operational costs)
•Keep LRT stops to a minimum
to keep journey time down
•Looking at how the LRT
can be funded
•Integrating the LRT with other transit
systems, including GO Transit,
MiWay and Brampton Transit/Züm
•Developing the business case
to support public investment
•Protection of the environment
and heritage areas
