It is extremely irresponsible to build 11 resident type buildings across from the Oakville GO. Have you spent time in that area? Have you seen how busy Trafalgar Rd is now? Residents in those proposed buildings go shopping, Drs appts., visiting, which means more traffic!

These MZOs would force extreme and reckless density on Midtown, more than double that of any comparable development in the GTA, without the infrastructure to support it; creating chaos and overwhelming transportation and services that are already overstressed, including local roads, transit, the GO

I do not want these high rise buildings built in the heart of the city of Oakville. The infrastructure is not sufficient to sustain an influx of thousands of new residents. That includes GO train parking, ridership, schools, etcetera.
The Minister's Zoning Orders take the decision making powers out of the hands of the Town of Oakville.

The plan to build high density housing near the Oakville GO station is an ill-conceived plan that will bring paralyzing congestion to that area. It also does not deliver what it is promising.

The development plans for Mid-Town Core of Oakville generationally important for Halton and Ontario as they essentially build a new city in a land locked gateway to Oakville.

These MZOs represent a profound override of local democracy despite Oakville’s full compliance with provincial policies and proven track record of growth and housing development.

Proceeding with an MZO would lock in a delayed, investor-dependent multiple tower project that:
does not start until after 2030;
fails the Province’s priorities to get shovels in the ground now and build family homes faster, and
