Let’s get it right!!
Port Credit Marina lands is Lake Ontario’s best kept secret…an awe-inspiring 20-acre parcel of fully accessible waterfront land that sits right at Mississauga’s doorstep, just steps from Mineola. Plans are being formulated to re-develop this property. What is your vision for Port Credit Harbour Marina’s future?
We are organizing a public ‘town hall’ meeting to discuss your ideas, comments and concerns. The date and time will be posted here. We plan to hold the meeting at: Clarke Memorial Hall
161 Lakeshore Road West, Mississauga, ON
We have invited a guest speaker: Gil Penalosa, former Commissioner of Parks in Bogota, Columbia and the visionary catalyst behind the “8 to 80” liveable cities who believes “Citizens can no longer be spectators, they must participate.” Listen to fellow members of the community share their thoughts on what they would like to see on this special site. Share your thoughts.
Should condo towers be built on the property?
– If so, how high?
– How much space should the public be able to access?
– All of it?
– None of it?
– Somewhere in between?
Port Credit Marina Lands are currently slated for development and we feel the creation of substantial, meaningful, year-round public space should be given the same level of consideration as height, density and parking.
We want to know what you think. So please join us on March 14th at Clarke Hall. Your input will help to shape our presentation to the city’s Planning and Development department on March 21st.
What’s so special about the Marina Lands?
The location of the Marina lands is unique in Lake Ontario , if not the Great Lakes:
- It’s a peninsula that protrudes right out into Lake Ontario. The result is incredible views: To the east is one of the most amazing views of the Toronto skyline. Watch the light reflect Toronto’s skyline as the sun sets. Or, if you’re an early bird, watch the sunrise over the lake. These are treasured sites to behold
- It’s adjacent to the Credit River with all the water-related activities that people enjoy there: rowing, paddle boarding, kayaking and dragon boats
- The village of Port Credit is only a block away with a variety of restaurants and local shops
- Home to one of Lake Ontario’s largest marina’s with approximately 800 slips
Credit Reserve Association involvement:
1 Port St isn’t located within Credit Reserve Association’s boundaries. However, given the importance of this property to Mississauga and its proximity to the Credit Reserve Association’s catchment area, Credit Reserve Association Directors feel strongly that it warrants our attention.
Credit Reserve Association is working with TOPCA (Town Of Port Credit Association) and Lakeview Ratepayer’s Association to raise awareness and represent the resident stakeholders’ interests.
