Hi there,
The number of buildings as well as the building heights are not final and will continue to evolve as we work with the City and community to refine the plan. Our aim is to provide various housing types and tenures to ensure we can address Mississauga’s housing crisis, and provide options for a range of incomes, needs and lifestyles: families, affordable, seniors, missing middle, and rental housing. In addition, we want to prioritize land dedicated to parks and safe connections for bikes, walking, and cars. With community feedback, we can make sure the plan is welcoming and respects the surrounding neighbourhood character. The Urban Design Study currently underway will address shadow, noise, wind, sustainability and appropriate built form standards., and will be available to the public on the City’s website once the application has been filed in 2021.

Our vision is to improve upon an already vibrant community to offer a mix of new improvements and uses: easily accessible new shops, services and restaurants for the neighbourhood, walkable streets, and improved access to local transit, public parks and green space as well as a full range of housing options. As part of the planning process, we will work closely with the Community Services staff at the City to define the various parks, community amenities and recreational experiences that are needed for this specific area; this will include POPS and green space maintained by the City.
The City and local school boards will consider capacity of services and amenities through their review of the application, particularly public facilities. We will also have a Retail and Service Needs Assessment prepared to assess appropriate amount of retail/commercial uses.

Hi there,
Peel's population is set to expand by one million people over the next 25 years, and Mississauga is already facing a housing crisis. The land around the Dixie Outlet Mall has been deemed under-utilized and mandated for development by both the City of Mississauga and the Province of Ontario. We understand the impact of density on traffic is a key consideration that has been raised by your neighbours, and we will be doing a series of traffic and transportation studies to ensure the design can support this population – including the addition of new cycling trails, an improved transit experience with a new bus shelter, and safe, walkable streets to encourage the use of other modes of transportation. An Urban Design Study will be completed in 2021, which includes these studies, and will be used to inform the plan. These studies will be available for the community to review and provide comment on once they are formally submitted to the City.

Hi there,
Our design approach considers how we can design safe spaces for all, including active uses at grade with eyes on street and the presence of people, accessible public spaces, and well-lit pathways and sidewalks. Building mixed-use communities provides for a more active public realm that does not “close at night” creating safer spaces for everyone.
We have not yet submitted a formal application to the City of Mississauga. Once there is a formal application, the local school board can provide requirements and comments on the need for new schools.
We are very early in the process and have not yet submitted a formal application to the City. Housing will be determined by working with City Housing Staff, Planning Staff as well as the Councillor, and informed by studies completed by the City such as the Housing Strategy and Making Room for the Middle.

Hi there,
The plan is informed by feedback from the community, City Staff comments and our technical studies, which are currently underway. There will be future points of engagement for you to share your feedback, including an informal meeting held by the Councillor and a Statutory meeting held by Plan Dixie – these will both take place this year after a formal application has been submitted to the City.

Hi there,
We are still working out the details of the plan based on various studies, and this will be defined in collaboration with City Staff and the community. We know the community loves the flea market; our aim is to transform that parking lot into green space and a vibrant place for the community. We will share your feedback with the team.
