City of Mississauga and Ridgeway Plaza owners work together to improve safety and prevent nuisance gatherings

Following a recent mediation process, the City of Mississauga and the Ridgeway Plaza Condominium Corporations have established a formal compliance and security framework to reduce nuisance gatherings at Ridgeway Plaza and help maintain a safe, welcoming space for residents, visitors, and local businesses.

To ensure compliance with municipal safety standards, the Condominium Corporations will independently fund and implement the following site improvements:

• installation of security cameras, speed bumps and permanent access gates
• additional No Parking, No Trespassing, and Video Surveillance signage
• increased security staffing on evenings when large celebrations are expected.

In coordination with these privately funded property changes, the City of Mississauga will provide enhanced enforcement of parking regulations.

The City and the Ridgeway Plaza Condominium Corporations will also meet on a quarterly basis to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.

These measures follow collaborative discussions between the City and the Ridgeway Plaza Condominium Corporations to identify ways to improve safety and prevent nuisance gatherings. Over the past few years, such gatherings have violated the City’s Nuisance Gathering By-law and interfered with road safety, traffic flow, emergency response, and by-law enforcement in and around the plaza. By making the outlined changes, the Condominium Corporations are ensuring the property continues to be in compliance with municipal by-laws while protecting the long-term viability of the plaza.

Implementation of these measures will begin immediately, with several actions expected to be in place by May 2026.
