The City of Mississauga has contracted HDR, working in partnership with GEI Consultants, to deliver the detailed design and contract administration for the Lakeshore Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
The project covers a two-kilometre stretch of Lakeshore Road, from East Avenue to Etobicoke Creek. The corridor is identified for significant development and is seen as a key link for future mobility in the city.
The design will introduce centre-running bus lanes, weather-protected stations, cycle tracks and widened pedestrian pathways on both sides of the road. Roadway modifications will be paired with utility upgrades to accommodate future development.
HDR previously supported Mississauga through the environmental assessment and conceptual design stages of the project, as well as in the development of a transportation master plan for the area.
Sam Rogers, commissioner of Transportation and Works, City of Mississauga said:The Lakeshore corridor will experience significant growth in the coming years with several developments reshaping southeast Mississauga, including the highly anticipated Lakeview Village. The City looks forward to continuing its work with HDR to move this priority project forward and help make the beautiful waterfront area more accessible for all.
HDR’s role will cover detailed design, procurement support, and construction administration and inspection services. The company’s project director, Cristian Huma, said HDR has been involved in planning work along the Lakeshore corridor for more than a decade.
