General Township Updates and Rumours

[SF22]

Breslau is undoubtedly going to continue to experience a majority of the regions sprawl in the next decade or 2. Unfortunately, like most suburbs there was little to no planning in regards to its growth.  A bunch of disconnected sfh subdivisions served by hardly any amenities, community centres poor transit and connected by 1 road.  I think things will change as it grows, but I wish Woolwich had foreseen its growth and developed a proper community plan, instead of just allowing the mattamy homes of the world decide how to build a community.

Also I have no idea why the Breslau Go station is being planned near greenhouse road. It has the least connection to the community and will be the hardest to integrate with public transit. Even after the Fountain st connector road is built. Personally I think the GO station should be built between Woolwich st and Fountain street on the north side of the street. With access to the station from both streets.

If you haven't already, I think you should check out some of the EngageWR links I posted above. They are definitely trying to rectify some of the connection issues that exist (although Breslau is currently hodgepodge partially because they've done an alright job of respecting all the creeks running through it, and worked around forested spaces, so I can't fault them for that).

The GO station location is interesting, and not what I expected either, but I have to assume that Metrolinx has done their due diligence. Once the connector road is built between Fountain and Greenhouse Rd, the proposed GO location will be just as central to as many residences as the Fountain/Woolwich location would be, and they'll have more space to build the facility they want.
