Subject: Strong Opposition to High-Density Development Proposal
Dear Town Council Members,
I strongly oppose the proposed high-density development at Neyagawa Blvd and Dundas St W. This project will worsen traffic congestion, overburden public services, and disrupt the character of our community.
Oakville's infrastructure is not equipped for 2,278 new residential units, which will strain roads, schools, and emergency services. Additionally, the environmental impact on 16 Mile Creek has not been properly addressed.
I urge the council to reject this proposal and prioritize sustainable growth that preserves Oakville’s livability.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Subject: Objection to High-Density Development Proposal at Neyagawa Blvd & Dundas St W
Dear Members of the Oakville Town Council,
I am writing to formally express my strong opposition to the proposed official plan amendment, zoning by-law amendment, and plan of subdivision submitted by Neat (16 Mile Creek) Inc. for the development of a high-density mixed-use project at the northwest corner of Neyagawa Boulevard and Dundas Street West.
The proposal, which includes the construction of seven buildings comprising 2,278 residential units and 1,551 square meters of retail space, raises significant concerns for our community. The following issues must be addressed before any approval is granted:
-
Traffic Congestion and Infrastructure Strain
The intersection of Neyagawa Blvd and Dundas St W is already heavily congested. The addition of over 2,000 residential units will further exacerbate traffic issues, leading to increased commute times, safety hazards, and environmental impact. Existing road infrastructure is not designed to handle this volume of additional residents and commercial activity. -
Overcrowding and Strain on Public Services
A development of this magnitude will put immense pressure on local schools, healthcare facilities, emergency services, and public utilities. Current public services are already stretched, and the town has not presented adequate plans to accommodate this rapid influx of new residents. -
Community Character and Livability
Oakville is known for its balanced urban planning, green spaces, and suburban charm. High-density developments of this scale risk undermining the town’s character by introducing congestion, noise pollution, and reduced green space. The proposal lacks sufficient open spaces, parks, and recreational areas necessary to support the well-being of future and existing residents. -
Environmental Impact
The development is near Sixteen Mile Creek Conservation area, an important ecological area. Increased construction, pollution, and stormwater runoff could negatively impact local wildlife and water quality. A thorough environmental impact assessment must be conducted and reviewed by independent experts before proceeding.
In light of these concerns, I strongly urge the Town of Oakville to reject or significantly revise the proposed development plan. Sustainable, well-planned growth should prioritize responsible infrastructure expansion, environmental conservation, and maintaining the quality of life for current residents.
I appreciate your attention to this matter and request that the council consider the voices of concerned community members before making a final decision.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
