GO Transit

[ijmorlan]

Was it actually planned? I thought that the lands were zoned for commercial, and private developers decided what to build there--which is how most cities in North America get built up.

And any reasonable GO service was far away in the distance (and not even committed) when the Boardwalk construction started 15 years ago.

Given the extent to which the planning department, through the zoning code, micro-manages development, it’s absurd that considerations like the GO service weren’t included in the planning.

The zoning code specifically mentions picture framing and makes a distinction between detached and semi-detached homes, with some zones forbidding one and others forbidding the other, but there is no requirement to actually plan for the future of the City.

Fail. We’d be better with repealing about half of the zoning code.
