On Oct. 14, Halton Regional Council endorsed a land use concept for a new EMS facility to be located on Woodside Drive behind the Oakville Public Library Woodside Branch at Rebecca Street and Woodside. "The paramedic station is required to address a noticeable gap in the critical five-minute response time coverage in southwest Oakville," a related Halton Region report states.

Residents, it stated, also questioned what would be developed on the remaining 1.7 acres of the site. Last year, Regional staff worked with Town of Oakville staff to address the concerns of noise, traffic and compatibility of use. The revised concept, which will see the Region and the Town exchanging lands, was presented to residents at a public meeting last month. Along with the relocation of the station to front onto Woodside Drive, the Regional report outlines the remaining lands fronting Rebecca Street will be developed as three lots for single detached homes and a block for a future assisted living development.
