This Transit-Oriented Community (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. And Oakville has a proven track record for building houses. 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 the developer. I vote NO for these MZOs.
Overall I think the area around the GO station does support only modest development given the constrained infrastructure (especially roads) in the area.
There is adequate land in the north end of town suitable for livable development. Areas where infrastructure, green space etc. can be properly planned from scratch.
The question is how to get people who need to get to the GO train down to the Oakville or Bronte GO stations. High speed transit links should be a priority if studies show usage would be high enough. Historically - if transit is QUICK people will use it.
