Measuring the impacts of increased density and development resulting from the Province's Bill 108 and the Provincial rejection of most of City's Midtown in Focus Plan in the Yonge and Eglinton Midtown Community - by Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor Josh Matlow

In addition, there will be significant increased population and development that will result from recent changes to Provincial Planning rules. Given the passage of Bill 108 by the Province which demands much greater densities and easier development approvals as well as the Province's rejection of most of the Midtown in Focus Plan, which was the community driven City of Toronto plan to moderate hyper growth in the Yonge and Eglinton area, it is imperative that the impacts of these Provincial Planning rules be assessed to ensure there is adequate capacity at the Eglinton subway station, road capacity, parking infrastructure and safe pedestrian mobility in this area given the combination of hyper construction, traffic activity that exists today and that will be generated by increased development with the passage of Bill 108 and the rejection of most of the Midtown in Focus Plan by the Province.
