The City of Mississauga goes high-tech with the launch of the new Mississauga Roads app on May 24 at Family Fun Day – a celebration of National Public Works Week (NPWW).
“The Mississauga Roads app is a great example of how the City is improving public works services and offers up-to-date information,” said Martin Powell, Transportation and Works commissioner. “Celebrate National Public Works Week (NPWW) with us and learn more about how we impact your daily life.”
During NPWW this year, have fun learning about: City construction projects on guided bus tours; traffic signals; Animal Services; stormwater; cycling and the Mississauga Transitway.
