MISSISSAUGA: The City of Mississauga is celebrating the end of summer with two open street block parties and everyone is invited! It’s all part of
Sharing Lanes, our tactical urbanism project that has temporarily transformed parts of the City’s Downtown and Cooksville neighbourhoods into people-friendly gathering places this summer.
The main goal of Sharing Lanes is to put people first by making our streets inviting and accessible for all. During each Block Party, the City will be taking over Jaguar Valley Drive in Cooksville to make way for family-friendly street programming. Get ready for local restaurants and food trucks serving up tasty treats, outdoor games and an opportunity to connect with friends and neighbours. The City said it was also excited to announce that the City’s popular Summer Concert Series is being extended to bring some of Mississauga’s best local artists to the Block Party stage.
