Description: The Credit River Active Transportation Crossings project is an exciting project demonstrates a multi-level government collaboration between the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, Region of Peel and the City to advance key multi-modal initiatives. The recommended plan illustrates an innovative design to building a beautiful, sustainable city with safe neighbourhoods that support strong, connected and vibrant communities, where residents value the beauty of the natural environment, engage in active transportation, and support a rich, healthy and prosperous social and cultural mosaic. The proposed crossings include a north-south AT crossing of the QEW at Stavebank Road and an east-west AT crossing of the Credit River. These crossings will be important to the connectivity of the City’s AT network including significantly enhancing connections to the existing and planned trail network. Specifically, these crossings provide critical links along the hydro corridor trail, which is ultimately envisioned to traverse the entire length of the City from Halton Region to the City of Toronto.
