South Mississauga leads the pack on biking and walking
May 8, 2008 09:32 PM - As the City embarks on developing its long-overdue master plan to remake Mississauga into a cycling and walking place (the first of four public input meetings takes place Saturday), officials can consider themselves fortunate to have a comprehensive report to draw upon already in their pocket.
The report came out of a workshop, Creating a Great Waterfront Community, held earlier this year. More than 50 residents and members of area community organizations took part in generating a variety of ideas and concerns.
The event was organized by VIVA Port Credit (Village Inspired Vision Alliance), and facilitated by Walk & Bike for Life, a national organization based in Port Credit whose mission is to raise awareness of the benefits of walking and cycling.
"It`s a very democratic document because it actually does reflect the input of the participants. That`s why it`s called a community-led action plan," said VIVA chair Dorothy Tomiuk.
