So, Council made a wise choice.<br /><br />What all of us must realize is that we need density in order to save our agricultural lands, while ensuring that Langley Township gets the rapid transportation options it deserves. So, we cannot accept a green field once we move in to the community. Development will happen and we have to encourage it in order to secure lands that will support our food security, and allow us the transportation options that can help us park the car. <br /><br />Some say that peak oil will smarten people up. That could prove to be very true. But we can't wait for that to happen. The best choice is for us to work with developers, Council and Township staff to strike the balance that will achieve the best and highest use for the lands, securing our agricultural lands from encroachment and allowing enough density to make RAPID transit and connections in the region and outside the region sustainable.Joe Zaccariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575719277280796183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3299108886803608881.post-75219915849992168162010-10-10T20:40:09.295-07:002010-10-10T20:40:09.295-07:00Can you comment on the recent rejection of the pro...Can you comment on the recent rejection of the proposed development at 68th and 200th?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654845058562765324noreply@blogger.com
