Today Mississauga council is discussing a proposal to widen Dundas St. by approximately 5-7m (from generally 35m right of way to 40-42m) from Etobicoke to Credit Woodlands) to accommodate the proposed Bus Rapid Transit and bike lanes. 35m through the Credit Valley, 40m west of it
Coun @RasWard2 asks about the design of the bike lanes as shown. Staff says the design will go through EA. @JohnKovac4 asks about width challenges, staff says Erindale will give a challenge. So far apparently only one(!) written submission on the widening proposal.

OK, went down the regional governance rabbit hole again...I should really stop this.
There are three municipalities in Peel (1.38 million), five in Halton (0.55 million), eight in Durham (0.65 million) & nine in York (1.11 million).
Mississauga is approximately 0.8 million. 1/4
Remove Mississauga from Peel & Peel's population goes down to about 0.65 million ... around the same as Durham.
But Durham is 8 municipalities and now Peel is only 2.
But if this new Peel is merged with Halton, there will be 7 local municipalities, 1.1 million population. 2/4
