A new, rental mid-rise is nearing completion in #Oakville on Trafalgar Rd by Starlight Investments linkedin.com/company/starli… It's a great addition, in the right spot - on a transit corridor. And the views ain't too shabby either.
Tying municipal funding to housing starts while not getting developers to build is stupid. Toronto-area home building shifts into low gear as developers pause or cancel projects - The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/ar…

We're excited for Midtown's potential! Come to our Info Session and learn more about it: oakville.ca/town-hall/news… The video is pretty good too: youtube.com/watch?app=desk…
And here we go. It's an aggressive target not just for @townofoakville, but for the whole Province. We have a phenomenal team ready and able to do our part; and we're already on our way.

Whenever they tell you a change is impossible, show them Utrecht. An urban freeway with many lanes can become a green park with a beautiful canal. Instead of a car sewer, the water flows.
Europe is experiencing its worst heatwave ever recorded. The combined intensity and scale of this winter heatwave is unlike anything in European history.
You are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic!
More of this is needed.
Some folks wonder why people don't take transit. I dunno, but could it be the barren landscape that transit users have to deal with? Great work #HaltonRegion, but I don't think you used enough concrete. #carsewer instagram.com/p/ClXTkiPp_0WV…
This is amazing for Montréal, or any city for that matter. And that it is city-wide is equally impressive! mtlblog.com/montreal/montr…
Oh good. I was getting worried that the chaos caused by this provincial government was starting to subside. 🙄

Not much different from predicting lottery numbers.
I have decided to run for Mayor of Toronto. I want a city for EVERYONE. I’ll register today at City Hall at 10:30, and launch on Monday morning. We can / must have an affordable, equitable, sustainable Toronto for EVERYONE. I’ll walk the city, listening, as together we can do it.
Oakville is #hiring ! If you enjoy working with a team and you're passionate about planning, check out these opportunities with #oakville. We're looking a Manager of Policy Planning & Heritage, as well as 3 planners. Have a look!…lnkd.in/ePDtQywr lnkd.in/eMNCvRhz

"At the local level, legislation can support local transport plans that include commitments... to encourage behaviour change... Such institution-led mechanisms could include bike-to-work campaigns, free transport passes, parking charges, or eliminating car benefits."

What is the 15-minute city? It's every city ever built by humans on this planet until a century ago, but with a catchy new name. And if the old parts haven't been destroyed in the last century, it's where the tourists go. And people travel across oceans to see the best of them.

Wondering how wealthy developers with political ties to the Ontario PC Party just happened to purchase protected land in the #Greenbelt months before the government announced they'd allow development there? I tried to find out today in Question Period: #onpoli
The trees in Ontario's #Greenbelt have a message for @fordnation and developers. #onpoli #cdnpoli

With the passing of Bill 23 today, OBCM renews our call for the province to have municipalities at the table as the bill is implemented. We want to ensure the massive fiscal impacts on cities are addressed so we can work together to build more homes. #onpoli #Bill23 @CamGuthrie
For over 30 years cities have used a financial tool created by the Province, regulated by the Province to fund growth infrastructure. Making such radical changes without consultation, and without making cities whole will create problems, not solve them.
With #Bill23 passing into law today, here is what you need to know #Mississauga: The legislation will cost @citymississauga $885M over ten years in development charge and money for new parks. It’s equal to losing 20% of our capital budget.
