Don't like large townhouse blocks with front yard driveways and garages. A much nicer streetscape with the parking at the rear.

Same however, Looks like each townhomes are pretty large for the given site area!

This specific set of townhomes would be located here:

The area outlined in white.

Pidgeon Street would be extended to meet Cleanside Rd.

There would be a private lane beyond that which some of the townhomes would front.

The rear of the homes is a hydro ROW.

The front of the homes (ie. Pidgeon Street) sits directly over the Line 2 subway tunnel.

I have highlighted the tunnel portal here:

This corridor was originally part of the GECO Rail spur; which still exists today, but in truncated form.

I have highlighted the still active track here:

The track continues to the north-east where it meets the Stouffville GO Line, just beside Kennedy Stn.

It also continues to the west eventually ending just east of Pharmacy, just north of Comstock.

The hydro corridor has been considered for a bike path in the future.

The subway tunnel is directly under the Pidgeon Street ROW along the entire length of the street. Google's airphoto is a bit dated as Pidgeon Street, Cleanside Rd, and the private lane have all been constructed (as have many of the neighbouring Mattamy townhouses).

This went up pretty quick, especially when you compare what's going on with the Birchcliff and Clonmore Towns projects.

To be fair, these are fairly simple street townhouses to construct being slab on grade (no basements) and wood-framed. Pidgeon Street was constructed years ago with the Mattamy townhouses, which also included the various services (water, sanitary, gas, hydro, etc.) and service connections to these units. While Birchcliff and Clonmore are taking a long time - especially the latter - they are more complex builds than 95 Pidgeon.

Yep, that's acknowledgeable. The length of time being taken to complete the Birchcliff and Clonmore Towns have dragged into concerning territory though, and leads me to believe there's issues involving the developer in getting those projects finished.
