The Steeles stop of the Hurontario LRT is noted in the Metrolinx 2041 Regional Transportation Plan and the Brampton Official Plan as a Gateway Mobility Hub. This designation supports high density growth and design considerations for multiple modes of travel, including high quality walking and cycling infrastructure. This direction is supported by the City of Brampton’s Hurontario-Main Corridor Secondary Plan which anticipates significant population and employment increases. The Active Transportation Plan proposes protected bike lanes along Hurontario-Main, Charolais, and other roadways within the Precinct.
Currently, the area is home to approximately 25,00 residents and is a mixed-use area including a wide variety of built uses. This includes towers, a large format mall (Shoppers World) serviced by a large street facing parking lot, commercial plazas, and quieter residential neighbourhoods. Once built out, the area is anticipated to home 100,000 residents within the 20-minute neighbourhood.
