www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday April 6, 2007 - 11 Sharing a vision and working to realize it Continued from page 6 and roads such as the new Trafalgar and Dundas, which are examples of ugly roads and what not to do. Downtown Oakville was nice when we had a population of 50,000. But by now we should have built another similar area around Bronte, Kerr Street, and at least 4 others north of the QEW. Much more than quantity of growth (federal) or where to grow (provincial), the main problem has been with the how to grow, the regional and provincial task. It has not been good and we better do something about it because over the next 25 years our Oakville population will grow by 80,000. We can continue with the mediocre urban planning that has been the constant for the last two decades, or we can rise to the challenge and build gorgeous walkable, healthy and vibrant communities which will make us proud to leave for our children and their children. Let's hope our elected officials, regional and municipal staffs and residents develop a shared vision and work hard to achieve it. Let's always look for solutions to the problems and not problems to the solutions as the Chair Carr and Mayor Burton are doing with the Places to Grow plan.
