Like much of Oakville.

Change it!

Seriously.

Email the applicant, and Planning and say something like " I could support this if it brought the best of old Oakville (Lakeshore) but with massive density. But it needs to have warmth and colour and some sense of charm and vibrancy at street level.

Then provide an example. Developers love templates.

Maybe Allies and Morrison's work at 2150 Lakeshore, or the proposed work up at the Canada Goose Factory site (give them links in the email) "This is supportable density"

Of course, use your own words, form letters go to the bottom of the pile; and choose whatever examples you like. But the applicant will be looking for a path to money; and planning for a path to peace, or at least to attract some support.

Give'em some help.

Its too bad we do not have a thread on Midtown Oakville Redevelopment - there is a lot of proposed development for this area, and the Town is heavily involved in planning.

On a local blurb, a report came through on the recent (mostly positive) feedback to revised proposals on the overall concept of the area. In short, a haircut to the tower heights (from a max in the 40's to the 20's) and in the added population (from 50,000 plus to 35, 000 or so). With the balances pushed to other Go Train Station nodes i.e. Bronte.

Don't have a chance to research further tonight, but will look into this when I have a moment.
