Background

This report relates to the Heritage Heights Secondary Plan (HHSP) area, located west of Mississauga Road, east of Winston Churchill Boulevard, north of the Credit River and south of Mayfield Road.

After revisions imposed by the Ontario Land Tribunal, the Revised Heritage Heights Secondary Plan accommodates the Highway 413 transportation corridor and includes schedules identifying the road network, road right-of-way width, and active transportation and trail networks (Attachment 1). The OLT-approved HHSP is grounded in eight guiding principles and includes mobility policies that emphasize balancing transportation and land use, while leveraging investment in transit and active transportation to provide a range of travel choices and encourage sustainable travel behaviors. There are several transportation-related objectives in the HHSP including 3 that inform the key objectives of the HHTMP including: 15-minute walk, a connected system of natural heritage areas, parks and amenity spaces, and promoting mobility.
