CDP for Brian Coburn near Mer Bleue, Frank Bender and Jeanne d'Arc, along the future Cumberland Transitway.

 

Very interesting proposal. The Cumberland Transitway has long been discussed so it would be good to see that get built and put into use in the future to provide better connections for those living around Innes.

What kind of residential development would it be? It seems to be a mix of new homes, plus low and medium density units. 4000-5200 residential units is quite a lot for an area that size. Will be interesting to see how it ultimately gets broken up. Lots of activity South of Innes these days, moving more and more to the west.

Nice to finally see some density planned south of Innes. So far, what's been built around the future Cumberland Transitway isn't much denser than what we see north of Innes. This will help the project's business case. 

In the Planning Committee meeting, there was a lot of discussion on nearby infrastructure, in particular the Renaud mess, where drivers coming from Anderson have to make two 90 degree turns before going through a residential neighbourhood and reaching Navan Road. The City and residents want Brian Coburn extended to the north part of Renaud, but the NCC, owner of the farm fields involved, opposes this proposal. Seems the City is currently negotiating a land swap to make it happen. 

More on yesterday's the Planning Committee (part 1) around the 59 minute mark.
