Our 3 point plan

The Facts

  • How we build Midtown will define the scale, intensity and liveability, or lack thereof, for an entire community at the heart of Oakville.

​

  • A Midtown built with hyperdensity will need services and Infrastructure that will not be entirely covered by development charges. The shortfall will be significant. It will fall on ALL Oakville taxpayers.

 

  • The already heavily congested areas along Trafalgar Rd, Cornwall and Speers, will turn into gridlock - and not just during rush hour times. Exiting the QEW at Trafalgar will be a challenge.

 

  • A significant percentage of Midtown’s housing units will be too small for families or couples. Midtown will be a ‘way station’ with a high turnover of occupants who move to more appropriate housing as soon as they possibly can. That means less sense of accountability and care for surroundings, a loss of the feeling of community and less ability to create a sense of neighbourhoods.
