THURSDAY JUNE 10, 2021 AUTOPRO OAKVILLE 2212 Wyecroft Road, Oakville 905-469-2442 info@autoprooakville.com 19951995 -2021 Some local property owners are calling for greater building heights as the town contemplates the future of the area surround- ing the Bronte GO station. The matter was discussed during a recent meeting of the Oakville Planning and Develop- ment Council to give members of the public and councillors the op- portunity to weigh in on the plan being proposed for this area. Council is not scheduled to make a decision on the plan until the end of the year, after which it will need the Halton Region's ap- proval. Brad Sunderland of the town's planning services department noted the town is seeking to in- tensify 146 hectares of land around the Bronte GO station generally bounded by the QEW to the north, Fourteen Mile Creek to the east, the established residential community to the south and Westgate Road and the employment areas to the west. The area is currently occu- pied by low-rise employment and industrial facilities.
