Wylie Freeman, who formed the focus group, spoke about how they came up with the current design. "We worked together over four months and we met every two weeks and we had an urban designer work with us to help give form to the ideas that were coming from the people in the group," said Freeman. "It really was a `from the ground up' planning operation from people who really understood how this community functioned and what its needs were." While the square footage and height of the structure will largely be dependent on what Town Council allows, the group is currently shooting for a 700,000-square-foot complex with height components ranging from two storeys to 21 storeys. "Our group was particularly concerned that the buildings keep a low profile along Lakeshore, so the height in that whole front section will be between two, three and four storeys," said Freeman. "The higher buildings, the condominium buildings (8-20 storeys in height) will be behind those. Then, fronting on Sovereign Street, we're going to have a row of townhouses, two storeys stepping back to four storeys. Sovereign will become a totally residential street. We're putting an east/west internal street into our project so we can take all the truck traffic off Sovereign. All the deliveries to the grocery store will be made using that street." The project's 21-storey signature building, proposed for the corner of Bronte and Lakeshore Roads, will feature a boutique hotel with rooftop dining area and observation terrace, available for public viewing of the lake and harbour. This building will also serve as a beacon showing people from far and wide how Bronte has changed, McDonald noted. The mall complex will feature a mix of affordable residential housing and condo suites, however, at this point the number of units has yet to be determined. To accommodate employees, residents and shoppers, the proposal features around 80 surface parking spaces and possibly up to 1,000 underground parking spaces. Some on street parking is also being planned. Other parts of the plan include generous amounts of public open space, an expanded Sobey's grocery, a pharmacy, plus cultural and performance space. As the mall revitalization process is expected to be phased in over a long period of time existing tenants will be moved to unaffected parts of the mall as needed. The Bronte BIA is currently looking for a developer to take on the challenge of changing the mall revitalization project from mere plans into a reality. The BIA wants the Town of Oakville will hold a public meeting on the issue at some point in June, but doesn't expect to begin construction until three years from now, provided council approval is given. While some people had concerns over the building heights and the potential traffic the development could bring to the area, many at the open house seemed sold on the idea of bringing the proposed design to Bronte. "We need it," said Ron Tuske. "I think it looks great." Gail Broten also had nothing, but good things to say about the design. "I absolutely love it. I think we need something like this. Right now it's an ugly mall. It's practically empty. I would like to see some business brought here," she said. Do you have pain from Osteoarthritis in your knee or hip?
