BURLINGTON, ON
This one will come as a bit of a shock.
Earlier today Mayor Marianne Meed Ward and Ward 1 Councillor Kelvin Galbraith are reported to have taken part in or just announced that there was to be a Pre-Application public meeting on October 1st at 7 pm related to a new development at 1134-1167 Plains Road planned by the Molinaro Group.
The city approved a new protocol for the announcement and public engagement in new developments.

Four structures with heights of 37 and 25 storeys.
While yet to be approved by Council – that comes later in the month – this development proposal is an example of what city council wants to see in the way developments are presented to the public.
At this stage the development is an idea – nothing has been taken to the Planning department.
It’s a big development. Will it result in a supermarket in the west end?
