Mississauga is undergoing a massive building boom and signs are visible wherever you look these days. Some construction is in the development stage and some have already started. Cranes can be seen all over but without the necessary supporting investments in roads, public transit and other infrastructure, like schools and hospitals, this sort of density could create headaches for local residents.
CP24 reports that the Lakeview Village development near the border with Toronto along Lake Ontario, where a 177 acre site that was once occupied by a coal plant is slated to be transformed into a mixed-use community that will eventually consist of 8,000 new units of housing, 200,000 square feet of retail and a 20 acre "innovation district," which aims to become a hub for technology and research.
Construction is well underway to the west on the 18-kilometre Hurontario LRT, which will provide higher-order transit along Mississauga's commercial spine for the first time and will connect Port Credit in the south with Steeles Avenue in Brampton.
Along the lake in Port Credit, three cranes tower high above another former industrial site which is also being redeveloped into a mixed-use community.
Brightwater is taking shape on a 72 acre site which was once a Texaco refinery but has sat undeveloped since 1985 due to environmental concerns.

Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie stated that property taxes are not sufficient to support the infrastructure that is necessary for all of the development that is taking place in Mississauga right now. She also stated that the eyes of the world are on Mississauga with the amount of development and renewal that is occurring in the city so it is vitally important that we have a provincial partner that will continue to invest in cities and really understand the needs of municipalities. Certainly the road network in the southern part of the city is very concerning so we do need infrastructure investments to support the GO train, the Hurontario LRT and the bus rapid transit line that is planned in order to alleviate the traffic and gridlock that exists today, let alone when these developments will be fully built out.
