Comment
As a local resident, I support development in Midtown Oakville. This is not a NIMBY comment. However, both the substance and process of the Transit-Oriented Community (TOC) plan are deeply concerning, especially when is already a well thought-through plan to responsibly meet growth and density targets (OPA 70 - unanimously approved by the Town 10 months ago.)
The TOC fails to comply with Premier Ford’s Build Homes Faster agenda and will not deliver a single home before 2031, the Province’s own housing deadline, and will take 25 years to complete. OPA70 is a better alternative and is ready to go.
Oakville already meets and exceeds all provincial housing requirements through OPA 70. Transit and infrastructure considerations are very well documented through OPA 70, and this is important to existing residents. There is no necessity or urgency for imposing these MZOs now. In fact, imposing these MZO‘s will eliminate the superior alternative, for the financial benefits of one developer.
