Meeting #1: Engaging the Community on the Vision
Community Meeting #1
In spring of 2018, Lakeview Community Partners hosted an event at the Waterside Inn to re-engage the local community, introduce the LCPL team and share a preliminary concept plan for the former OPG site.
The meeting also served to show how the adoption of the Inspiration Lakeview Master Plan in 2014 set the groundwork for the City’s proposed Official Plan Amendment policies for the broader area in 2018. Following a brief presentation, attendees were invited to continue discussions with the Design Team around five themes that would shape the Development Master Plan (DMP): Districts and Programming, Built Form and Height, Transportation, Sustainability, and Parks and Public Realm.
Approximately 120 people attended, including several City of Mississauga staff members and participants from the previous Inspiration Lakeview process.
Attendees commented on big-picture aspects of the illustrated concept plan including:
- A desire to get the project underway and have early access to the water and related open spaces;
- The need for detailed plans for active transportation, especially cycling;
- An interest in options for affordability and family-friendly units; and
- Some concerns regarding the distribution of height and density related to the waterfront.
