It sounds like the update to the GTA growth plan is going to include drastic (borderline radical) restrictions on sprawl. Given the sheer number of people in the GTA and how bad their problems with sprawl and transportation already are, such drastic measure may be warranted. Elsewhere in the province, it could very well be overkill.
I look forward to the province's Eastern Ontario growth plan. A plan reflecting the realities and needs in this part of the province would be much preferable to simply transplanting the GTA's needs onto ours, which is what the province so often does.
