Community Meeting on Lisgar Flooding
About 200 residents were updated at a community meeting on December 14 about the city’s ongoing investigation and activities related to the flooding issues in the Lisgar community.
The focus of the meeting was on outlining the steps that city and regional staff have undertaken toward finding the root cause or causes of the flooding.
The issue of possible compensation will be addressed following the submission of an engineering study by an external consultant expected in early 2013.
In the meantime, the city will respond immediately as necessary to findings in the study prior to its completion. In addition, during High Water Warnings, city crews will be dispatched to strategic locations in the Lisgar area to monitor water levels and take appropriate action to mitigate further problems.

Banff Court Development
Thanks to the many residents that attended a Community Meeting held on Wednesday, March 2nd concerning the development proposal for 22 Semi-Detached Dwellings on Banff Court. As part of the proposal, the landowner is proposing to retain the existing Cordingley Heritage House and Accessory Building and extend Banff Court westerly.
Within the City's Zoning By-law, the lands are zoned "R1" (Residential) which permits detached dwellings. The applicant is proposing an "RM2" (Residential) and "RM2-Exception" (Residential) which permits semi-detached dwellings.
Within the City's Official Plan, the subject lands are designated "Residential Low Density II-Special Site 2" within the Lisgar District, which permits detached, semi-detached, street townhouse and duplex dwellings, within a density range of 17-45 units per net residential hectare (7-18 units per net residential acre). Special Site 2 also outlines that provisions should be made to integrate the existing Cordingley House, which is recommended for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, with future development plans. The applicant is not proposing an Official Plan Amendment.
The applicant and City staff were available at the meeting to address any comments or concerns and to answer any questions.
I look forward to proceeding with the plans for this exciting addition to our community.
Kindest regards,
Sue McFadden

Update on the Bus Rapid Transit Project
The City of Mississauga and GO Transit plan to build two bus-only lanes paralleling Highway 403 and other thoroughfares from Winston Churchill Boulevard in the west to Renforth Drive, near Pearson Airport, in the east, set to open in 2012.
Mississauga has awarded $22-million to McCormick Rankin Corp. for design plans and administering the construction.
The city will tender construction contracts next year for tunnels, bridges, bus stations and 10.5 km of new roads. Both GO Transit and Mississauga Transit will use the new line.
Council recently voted 7-4 to proceed with the project.
Annexation of Lands by the City of Mississauga
Mississauga purchased 300 acres of land on the west side of Ninth Line from Eglinton to the 401, in various locations, for the purpose of developing some recreation facilities.
Recently, having worked with the Town of Milton, the City received approval for a boundary realignment that will annex the entire Ninth Line corridor and this land has become City of Mississauga property. The City is undergoing an Official Plan Amendment on this land and, in the meantime, plans are pushing ahead toward a community recreational centre near Tacc Dr. and Ninth Line.
