Access -> OFFICIALPLAN
[Szpin comment: The City offers residents the capability to view the CITY OFFCIAL PLAN. However, it is bafflegab what they offer. Finding the full official plan is a challenge. If and when found, it is a massive document, more than 400 pages in PDF format. No wonder citizens can’t be bothered reading the document. For the average citizen with access to this document, it is a mind blowing challenge to read it.
Good luck in finding answers to such questions as….
- How many actual towers are scheduled for development? 75?
- What will the actual traffic impact be? More traffic congestion?
- What are the population projections?
- What will be the impact on small business owners?
- What will be the effect on housing availability?
- What will the effect be on emergency services?
The City offers no succinct, concise summary that the average citizen can read and understand. Instead it offers humongous files that detail every miniscule aspect of the planning losing citizen comprehension as they are swamped with details.
The City Planners should spend some time compiling and developing a concise, succinct plan that can be easily understood by every Pickering resident.]
The document is being studied by two scholars….
There is a video available with City Planning Manage Nilesh Surti and Fahad Rehman discussing the Official Plan. It is a superficial, cursory and meatless explanation that never once deals with the hard questions and real worries that residents feel about the City Plan as much as they can understand what the City presents in it.
