Mobility Hub of Possibility

Project status

On Feb. 28, 2022, Milton Council passed policies to manage growth and development in a deliberate way around the Milton GO Station. These policies will purposefully guide the development of buildings, homes, businesses, roads, sidewalks and public spaces in the area. For more information about the policy solutions (building heights, density, land use, parking, urban design and open space) that were passed, read the full Council report.

Community engagement

Thank you to everyone who took the survey and shared their input on the policies that are being developed to shape the Mobility Hub.

A statutory public meeting was held on Oct. 4, 2021 at 7 p.m. to obtain feedback on the draft policies to guide the development of the Mobility Hub. The Town also held a virtual community meeting on June 23, 2021 to present some ideas for the Town-initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment. If you missed the meeting, you can watch a recording on the Town's YouTube channel.

About the study

In summer 2020, we completed the Mobility Hub Study. Take a look at the final Mobility Hub Study report and see the key recommendations to shape Milton's downtown core into a hub of possibility. Thank you to everyone who participated in the study and provided feedback.

Here are the study’s key findings and recommendations for long-term development of the Milton Mobility Hub: A Hub of Possibility:

• Intensification: One of the primary goals for Milton’s Mobility Hub is to achieve the density target, set out by the Province, for the Downtown Milton Urban Growth Centre. The Study found that the area may eventually accommodate 25,411 residents with 4,137 jobs.
• Character and Built Form: The Study divides the area into five precincts (Main Street East, Station Precinct, Ontario Corridor, Thompson Corridor and Transitional Area). Each precinct would have a distinct character and built form. For detailed descriptions of each precinct, view the report.
• Urban Greening and Publicly Accessible Open Space: The Study identified opportunities for more greenery in the area to improve air quality and adapt to climate change.
• Transportation: The goal is to provide transportation choices for people living within walking distance of the transit hub. This will create a walkable destination, that will in turn stimulate investment in facilities and services, including regional transit.
• Servicing: The Study includes a Servicing Report that lists sustainable urban drainage systems that could potentially be used.
• Implementation: The Study provides recommendations for implementation including early solutions and interventions, area specific plans and policies, zoning updates, urban design guidelines and built for performance standards, alternative Town standards, incentives and partnerships and phasing and finance.

Demonstration plan

The demonstration plan is currently unavailable due to a temporary technical fix.

The study includes a Demonstration Plan to show one way that the area may look like at full build-out, in about 30 years. The recommended planning framework provides flexibility for many approaches. This means, the area may not look exactly like the Demonstration Plan, but it illustrates the scale of development required to achieve the density target mandated by the Province of Ontario.
