The City is transforming into a bicycle-friendly city, where people can choose to cycle for fun, fitness and travel.
Overview
Every five years, we update the Cycling Master Plan (CMP) to make sure it aligns with new and changing guidelines and the needs and values of residents.
The first CMP update project took place in 2018. Since then, we’ve been working towards building the cycling network. Projects started as part of the 2018 CMP remain ongoing. A full list of active projects can be found in the featured updates.
We aimed to:
- Update the City’s planned network to improve connections and follow new design guidance.
- Develop a more equitable approach to implementing cycling facilities in the city.
- Prioritize connections to create a continuous network of cycling infrastructure that accommodates all ages and abilities.
- Make a five-year plan to connect the network.
- Work with interested parties, residents and external partners so that our projects can be implemented and supported by the community.
Public engagements
From June to July 2025, the City of Mississauga invited residents to help shape the Cycling Master Plan Update through a variety of engagement opportunities. These events and tools were designed to ensure broad community participation from all corners of the city.
- The Online Survey and Mapping Tool was open from June 4 to July 6, 2026 for residents to share their experiences and ideas for improving cycling in Mississauga.
- During the In-Person Open House at the Great Hall in the Mississauga Civic Centre on June 17, residents joined staff for an overview of the CMP Update and shared feedback directly with the project team.
- At the June 19 Virtual Open House, residents joined a live online session to learn more about the CMP Update and ask questions.
- We held four Community Pop-Up Events in late June where we visited community centres to meet residents face-to-face and gather local feedback. These pop-ups provided informal settings for residents to contribute ideas and discuss cycling in their neighbourhoods.
Background
The Cycling Master Plan (CMP) guides planning for cycling across the city. It is a long-term document that maps out a cycling network of existing and proposed cycling facilities designed to make it easy and safe for people to ride their bicycles, electric bicycles, scooters, and e-scooters around the city. The CMP also includes policies, programs, a map, and plans to support the implementation and use of the cycling network by the residents and visitors to Mississauga.
The CMP is a guide for where future infrastructure should be built, and which policies and programs should be enacted to achieve the CMP’s vision. It is not a detailed design plan for facilities, or an authorization for construction. The CMP is not a financial commitment to fund construction of the cycling network or implement identified programs.
The Cycling Master Plan (CMP) was first developed in 2010. It is updated regularly to make sure that it reflects the needs and values of community members and meets new and changing City guidelines such as the City’s Changing Lanes Complete Streets Guide and Vision Zero Action Plan. The CMP was last updated in 2018. Since then, the city has continued working towards building the cycling network. The city is completing the second CMP update in 2025.
