It's also worth noting that there is a huge provincial wilderness area that is already protected (Long Lake-Terence Bay) right next to this land. I think this is more NIMBYism than anything else, and it will result in greenfield development farther away from the core, not more infill. If the people in this neighbourhood really cared about good regional planning they'd be clamoring for transit, not leap-frog sprawl.

Didn't think of the leapfrog potential--entirely imaginable, since this is quite close to the core and leapfrogging it would be no big deal at all for an auto-centric commuter suburb.
