proposing seven tall towers between 15 and 28 storeys in height at a site near the Dundas Street and Neyagawa Boulevard intersection in Oakville Towers would be between 15 and 28 storeys in height Numerous residents are calling on Oakville council to reject a development proposal that would see seven tall towers The developer, Neatt (16 Mile Creek Inc.), presented their plan for 3056 Neyagawa Blvd. during the March 17 meeting of Oakville’s planning and development council meeting The plan would see the construction of 2,278 residential units and 1,550 square metres of commercial retail space within seven towers at the 3.75-hectare site The overall project density would be 607 units per gross hectare noted during the meeting only one of the towers would be 28 storeys The site currently has a maximum building height of 8 storeys There would also be 0.2 visitor/commercial parking spaces per unit The site would also feature a Neighbourhood Open Space “The development really is intended to deliver density within a strategic growth area where the town has made significant investments in infrastructure that supports community,” said Neubauer “It’s a development that is meant to diversify the area with new types of housing Councillors had multiple concerns about the developer’s plan Ward 7 Councillor Scott Xie asked what type of units would be available and was told approximately 70 per cent would be one-bedroom units and 30 per cent would be two-bedroom units He then questioned why three-bedroom units would not be available to accommodate larger families Neubauer said three-bedroom units in the condominium would compete with ground-related housing in the area He argued this condominium development would offer a housing supply that is lacking Ward 7 Councillor Nav Nanda asked if the developer had considered building something on the site within the confines of what is currently allowed Neubauer said the developer seeks to optimize the site to make best use of infrastructure including transit investments in the area and the town’s investments in the adjacent North Park area Ward 5 Councillor Jeff Knoll argued the developer knew what they were getting into when they purchased the site noting the current development policies for the area were ironed out before that Neubauer said he is not aware of what the developer understood about site’s planning conditions at the time of the land purchase Council also heard from several resident delegations who all spoke against the development plan A low-rise neighbourhood is located to the south of the site across Dundas Street while a second neighbourhood is located to the north-east Area resident Anthony Spadaro called the developer’s plan an “irresponsible project” that benefits the developer at the expense of the community He voiced concerns about the traffic congestion he believes the development would bring to the area noting the Neyagawa Boulevard and Dundas Street intersection is already dangerous A traffic study submitted to the town by the developer concluded that after the development is built in 2035 all intersections in the area will continue to function at acceptable levels during the morning and evening rush hours with the exception of the Neyagawa Boulevard and Dundas Street intersection The report argued adding a dual left turn lane in the eastbound and northbound approaches would mitigate this issue except for westbound through movement during the evening rush hour Spadaro was skeptical about how much the dual left turn lanes would really fix the problem and questioned the validity of the entire study “They just assume that more people will use transit just because there is a bus route there,” said Spadaro “I think that is a very flawed assumption to make There are limited public transit options in the area Oakville remains a very vehicle dependent community and that is not going to change.” A student from nearby Oodenawi Public School said her school is already overcrowded with portables now covering much of the outdoor play area She worried that the development would make the problem worse by bringing so many new people to the area Barbara Ferrone called the plan’s density excessive and unacceptable She noted the Livable Oakville Official Plan features a density range of between 51 and 185 units per site hectare the development’s proposed density is four times higher than the maximum density allowed “This extreme density will be a benchmark for future development and that concerns me,” said Ferrone Other residents voiced concerns about the level of parking proposed for the site noting one space per unit is not enough and would likely lead to condo residents taking up parking spaces in the surrounding area The developer noted in their traffic study that the town’s minimum bylaw requirements concerning parking are satisfied by what is proposed Sean Dent said he is not against development but said it has to be the right kind of development Dent went on to urge council to take steps to protect the community from unregulated and excessive development proposals that disregard existing zoning laws and burden public resources The matter will return to council for further consideration on a later date Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We

Boulevard and Dundas Street next to Oakville’s new Sixteen Mile Sports Complex school board trustees walked away from the area due to safety concerns with nearby radio towers Now a cluster of seven condo towers, ranging in height from 15 to 28 storeys, is proposed for the same land – thanks in part to the planned removal of those radio towers The density of the proposed development – which would bring more than 2,000 housing units to the corner – has stunned nearby River Oaks residents residents packed town hall to hear discussion of the plan About a dozen delegates outlined concerns about the development’s impact on traffic "This type of extreme intensification may make sense for Toronto but not for north Oakville,” said resident Anthony Spadaro who described it as “an irresponsible project." Milton-based developer Neatt Communities is seeking permission to build the seven towers in three building blocks including a base or podium of five to eight storeys While Dundas Street has long been identified as an area for urban growth and intensification the permitted maximum height for the property is 8 storeys a professional planner who addressed Oakville council on behalf of the developer The 3.75-hectare property would eventually provide 2,278 new apartments with 70 per cent planned as one-bedroom units The remainder are planned as two-bedroom units One parking space per unit is to be provided underground while ground floor podiums will contain retail spaces Neubauer said the development will add “a relatively affordable” style of housing to the area New residents can enjoy the recreation and green space of the nearby parkland while using existing and future bus routes for transportation "It’s a development that’s meant to diversify the area with new kinds of housing retail and open spaces," he told councillors But local residents say it is too dense for the area’s existing and planned infrastructure shocked and very disappointed with this development," said local resident Barbara Ferrone noting the proposed density of 607 people per hectare is "excessive and unacceptable" in an area planned for a density of 200 residents and jobs per hectare Grade 3 student Lexy stole the show when she told town councillors that there were only six portables at Oodenawi public school when she started in kindergarten Now 16 portables crowd the blacktop and make it hard to find a place to play Traffic congestion is also a concern for residents with several arguing that the developer’s traffic analysis takes an overly optimistic view of the likelihood that people will walk or use transit to get around the area While the "mega-sized project" relies on a future bus rapid transit (BRT) line planned to run along Dundas Street between Hamilton and Toronto that project is still many years from completion The "timeline mismatch" could create a "significant gap in public transportation availability for the area," he said Resident Sean Dent argued that a midrise development would be more appropriate for the area but in recent years we have seen a troubling trend – developers repeatedly submitting applications that far exceed established regulations demanding significant increases in building height density and land use beyond what the zoning allows and what our infrastructure was designed to accommodate," he said He also shared a "visual perspective" of the proposed development in relation to the rest of the community Town council will make a final decision on the development application in the coming months School board trustees eventually opted to locate the badly-need North Oakville high school on a site at Sixth Line and Burnhamthorpe Road A school board spokesperson said "construction will be starting soon," with the new school anticipated to open in Sept Students from across Ward 7 are currently being sent to White Oaks and T.A The town is also currently considering a development that would remove the radio towers and bring 142 detached and town homes to that property An image of the Neyagawa Urban Core in Oakville Plans expected to come before council for approval early in 2025 Current plans for a north Oakville growth area feature 18-storey high buildings in some areas Oakville council discussed these proposals for the Neyagawa Urban Core during a Nov The Neyagawa Urban Core is centred at the intersection of Neyagawa Boulevard and Burnhamthorpe Road West 407 and includes the existing King’s Christian Collegiate community (to the southwest) as well as properties subject to active development applications “We are planning for a complete community and what that includes is residential and commercial uses schools and community amenities and key transportation linkages,” said Catherine Buckerfield mixed-use complete community that provides a range of housing choice and a diverse Some of the ideas being examined for the area include zoning changes to allow building heights up to 18-storeys high for the residential and mixed-use properties in the northern quadrant of the growth area residential and mixed-use development would be allowed a maximum height of 12 storeys Town staff are also proposing a minimum building height of three storeys for residential and mixed-use development for much of the site but a minimum of five storeys for residential and mixed-use development within 50 metres of the north side of Burnhamthorpe Road West and for the east and west sides of Neyagawa Boulevard “The intent of this approach is to create a gateway along Neyagawa Boulevard and Burnhamthorpe Road West Heights will then transition lower throughout the blocks,” said Buckerfield “This approach will prevent ground-oriented townhouses along the major roads and encourage apartment build form.” Town staff went on to say the area is expected to be home to 10,500 people and 1,438 jobs by 2051 A parkland target of 12 per cent of the gross land area has been set for this strategic growth area Town staff are also looking at the possibility of a 407 transitway station located at Neyagawa Boulevard and Hwy Nav Nanda questioned what population levels would be in the northern area given there is already an established community in the southern area “Are we going to try and put too much density on the north side because we didn’t develop it?” she asked “Is that why we’re looking at trying to go to 18 storeys there instead of 12 storeys Are we just trying to put more density in a smaller area?” Buckerfield said town staff would work out population estimates for the different portions of the growth area Nanda also voiced concerns the province has not committed to establishing a transit station in the Neyagawa Urban Core She argued placing significant density in the area with the understanding the station is forthcoming could result in major traffic issues if the transit station is not established or established at a much later date Town staff said talks with the province and the 407 about the station are ongoing They also noted Oakville Transit will service these communities Nanda said she wanted information on how this plan would work out if building heights in the northern area were kept at 12 storeys instead of 18 storeys The plans for the Neyagawa Urban Core are expected to return to the planning and development council for further consideration and potential approval during

ZWD Halton2 men from Quebec arrested for auto theft following Oakville traffic stopBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: February 26, 2025 at 4:19PM EST Two men from Quebec have been charged with auto theft following a traffic stop in Oakville. On Tuesday, at about 10:30 a.m., an officer with Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) pulled over an Audi sedan near Neyagawa Boulevard and Gardenbrook Avenue, north of Dundas Street West. Police said during the stop, the officer took note of “suspicious items such as balaclavas, gloves and tools,” which resulted in additional surveillance on the vehicle. Investigators said they observed the suspects drive the vehicle to a hotel in Mississauga where its two male occupants retrieved a Toyota Tundra. Halton police say that vehicle was previously reported stolen out of Toronto. They said one of the men then drove the Toyota to a new location, while the second followed in the Audi. It was at that second location that HRPS arrested the two suspects. Luca Lacroix, 21, of Saint-Hubert, Que., and Teddy Sanon, 22, of Montreal, Que., have both been charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and possession of break and enter instruments. Lacroix was also wanted by police in Quebec for breaching conditions related to his release, HRPS said. They were both held in custody pending a bail hearing. “As I continue to watch our officers make many arrests of individuals with stolen vehicles, often from the province of Quebec, and tied to organized crime and exports at the port of Montreal, it astonishes me that this continues to be an issue at the rate that it does. Far too many of our citizens have suffered from auto theft, home invasions and violence, all so these individuals and organized crime groups could profit,” HRPS Chief Stephen Tanner said in a news release. Tanner noted that one of the accused has been previously charged for “stolen vehicle offences” and is also wanted by authorities in Quebec. “Obviously, the profits of this crime outweigh any deterrence from our justice system. I continue to hope that the federal government will look at stricter laws around auto theft, and the other offences which put our frontline officers and citizens in harm’s way. Thankfully, the province, the Ontario Provincial Police and many municipal police services have worked together to target this crime that continues to be an epidemic,” he said. This investigation is ongoing and more charges could follow, police said. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact HRPS at 905-825-4777, ext. 2216, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Spoon & Tamago reports that the tree had long been associated with a local shrine and deity and news of its removal caused an uproar in the community Rumors about the tree being angry about the authorities’ decision also coincided with a series of bizarre events People reported seeing a white snake slithering through the branches of the tree others claimed to see smoke rising up from the tree and a worker who cut off one of the tree branches developed a fever later that day Photo: Amazon The version posted by American expat July McAtee on her blog July’s Culture Medium is a bit darker One of her Japanese co-workers told her that “that tree’s not there because Japanese people love nature or eco or want green or anything Japanese people don’t think that way.” Photo: @Mullboyne/Twitter Fear and superstition,” the man continued “Twice when they tried to cut it down to build the station someone died They gave up and built the station around it Photo: Ryusuke Shigeta/Facebook it was enough to convince local authorities to abandon their plans and expand Kayashima station around the camphor tree when the new elevated station was completed the tree was converted into a sort of shrine surrounded by a fence of sacred plaques and “wearing” a sacred shimenawa rope strung with shime strips which apparently  symbolizes the presence of a deity and wards off its curse this majestic camphor tree rising out of a sea of concrete is pretty much the result of human superstition I’m glad it survived to become one of the most impressive sights in Osaka Your

11 years ago the artist fulfilled his longtime dream of hosting a solo exhibition thanks to hard work and the help of a computer and a friend’s pet cat had always been skilled at drawing since childhood his sci-fi comic became popular among his classmates He decided to pursue a career in drawing after graduation moving on to study at a vocational school for painting instead of a high school Katsuma made his professional debut as a manga artist at age 18 when his first work was published in the Weekly Shonen Magazine comic anthology which also ran the wildly popular serialized titles “The Star of the Giants” and “Ashita no Joe” (Tomorrow’s Joe) none of his manga works gained popularity and his manga career ended after about three years he relied on his painting skills to survive working as an instructor at a vocational school and providing illustrations for advertisements and other services He collapsed at his home in Osaka after working with no sleep to finish a drawing he felt numb along the left side of his body and couldn’t hold a paint brush with his dominant hand His doctor told him he wouldn’t be able to work again as a painter Thinking that he might be able to draw using a personal computer he moved the mouse with his right hand and drew a picture He kept at it although he wasn’t satisfied with the outcome a friend asked Katsuma to draw a picture of her pet cat It made him happy to see that she was delighted with the portrait he created on his computer He posted the drawing on his Facebook page and it instantly attracted hundreds of likes and made him feel confident in his skills Katsuma has posted his drawings online every day he identified with them because they wander around the streets without being noticed by anyone His drawings attracted the attention of an art dealer who helped Katsuma organize a solo exhibition at a department store in Saitama Prefecture in September 2017 It was his first experience showing his works in a gallery Some visitors shed tears as they remembered their dead pets “I always wanted to draw pictures that would be remembered because I had drawn nothing but manga and other drawings that would be thrown away after a short while,” Katsuma said It felt like a new path was opening up in front of him He has since hosted solo exhibitions at department stores and bookstores in Tokyo when Katsuma held a paint brush with his right hand he was pleasantly surprised to find that he could draw as good with it as he once could with his dominant hand During a solo exhibition held in January at a department store in Osaka’s Minami district Katsuma drew an acrylic painting of a cat with a paint brush for a live event “I want to hold solo exhibitions exclusively using my hand-drawn paintings in future years,” Katsuma said He said he is now determined to surpass the skill level he was at before he became sick 109 manga artists sketch their daily lives amid COVID-19 Anonymous collector’s exhibit of

malnutrition weighing only 19 kilograms and standing 145 centimeters tall The Kaimotos told the court they confined Airi to the tiny room for around 15 years because they said her mental illness made

dirty cases Time to start comparing Japan to some dark countries; maybe shame will egg the country on Guess parents should have kicked her out at 18 Wow so they sadistically tortured their own daughter to death The parents could have had social worker come regularly and inspect the housing parents provided and food How many years is the minister for health & Welfare and the prime minister getting for not providing services for the parents The parents chose to try at least (miserably) smokes like a trooper ....apart from that she lives a pretty normal life on her meds.. goes off the deep end sometimes when her meds give her ingenious ideas of her being on the right side of the thin red line where everybody else is downright stupid on the other side .Love my sister she's a great laugh and know's her situation The lack of proper social services for the mentally ill (or the inefficiency thereof) and the absolute incompetence of the services in other cases (childcare Time to start comparing Japan to some dark countries I have always thought since I arrived to this country that in many regards this place resembles a regime more than a functional democracy The culture and the social norms are especially hair-raising if you come from a socially sensitive country from Western Europe for example Jesus Christ...This sounds like something from a Saw movie How could someone do this to their own flesh and blood especially someone who is already suffering so much as a result of her illness not to be left to die like some kind of animal I’ve worked with people with schizophrenia and it is heartbreaking To watch someone’s own mind turn against them is beyond saddening Clearly the parents need a permanent stay in a padded cell because nothing short of full psychopathy could have led to this what "dark countries" are you talking about There have been plenty of similar cases of horrendous abuse in many but to blame it on the whole of Japan is ridiculous I have a good friend with schizophrenia and I worry for her every damn day I hope bad things happen to these so-called 'parents' are really behind when it comes to understanding and accepting those with some form of mental illness There still is a widely-held perception that some how it is the patient's fault or something one has to be ashamed of Good luck trying to get a prescription for depression Glad the parents will be going away and have many years to reflect on what they did think of her suffering for such long time alone by herself Locking her in a room and feeding her like a hamster was the preferred option to letting the neighbours know that something was wrong Looking “bad” is the worst thing to many Japanese The heartlessness of Japanese is beyond belief All because they didn’t want to be shamed by society A society that values that over a life is in serious need of a kick up the behind I hope the time passes really slowly for these two animals and they suffer to their last

government to focus more on creating a society that produces and consumes much less plastic in its policy efforts to tackle the dire problem of plastic waste Twenty organizations devoted to environment protection including the World Wildlife Fund Japan Greenpeace Japan and the Nature Conservation Society of Japan on Oct 13 handed their joint policy proposal to Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi and another top policymaker at the ministry The government should take the proposal seriously and incorporate it into its environment policy The proposal is intended as a response to the government’s environment policy paper published last month titled “The Basic Direction of the Future Policy for Recycling Plastic Resources.” Even though the government also called for “thorough efforts to reduce” plastic consumption the groups criticized its approach to the issue for over-reliance on promoting the use of “alternative materials” and plastic “recycling.” They called on the government to come up swiftly with effective policy actions for a substantial reduction in the nation’s overall plastic production and consumption The basic law for the promotion of the recycling-oriented society stresses that in policy efforts to curb environmental impacts the priority should be on reducing the amount of waste generated The groups’ proposal made a convincing case for a return to this principle Japan produces more than 8.9 million tons of plastic waste annually while land for burial of waste is running out it has become increasingly difficult to export plastic waste in recent years The situation clearly argues for greater efforts to reduce plastic use Expanding the use of alternative materials of natural origin is one way to tackle this environmental challenge But it should be noted that this approach could cause other environmental problems The government plans to thrash out specific measures to deal with the issue by the end of the current fiscal year There have been encouraging signs of change in people’s attitude toward the issue due in part to policy measures including charging customers for plastic shopping bags at retail stores But such plastic bags constitute less than 10 percent of the nation’s total plastic waste Stronger policy actions are needed for significant progress society-wide efforts are vital for remedying the problem The government should consider a system to make plastic producers responsible for collecting reusing and recycling plastics as well as a program to cut back on consumption Manufacturers and retailers should be committed to promoting the use of non-plastic materials for containers packaging and trays and selling things loose or by weight A significant shift in consumers’ mindset is also vital Curtailing plastic waste can help tackle a wide range of global environmental challenges from stemming global warming to conserving biodiversity Japan is a leading producer of plastic waste with the amount of its per-capita single-use plastic waste second only to that of the United States Japan has a duty to demonstrate a stronger commitment to reducing plastic waste as part of its

operational school equipment for learning and communications; and personal electrical devices The board’s consultant said there are no building material or design solutions that would effectively resolve this situation said getting the radio array moved was also not a feasible option He said such a course of action would probably take years the array is privately owned and is licensed by the federal government trustees directed board staff to work with the Town of Oakville and other municipal agencies to identify alternate options for the location of the high school within northeast Oakville “We will continue to work diligently toward a solution as the need for a secondary school in North Oakville is an uppermost priority,” says Miller “This new high school was planned to open in the 2024-25 school year and we need to identify a new site and begin construction as soon as possible.” at which the need for the north Oakville high school was discussed there were 734 secondary students living in Oakville who have to attend schools south of Dundas Street The province announced in July 2020 that it will invest $33.6 million to build the school Miller said board staff are now looking at a site in the area of Trafalgar Road, north of Dundas Street site was to build an 82,575 square-foot school building with 60 classrooms six accessible parking spaces and 46 bicycle parking spaces The school would be large enough for 1,200 students;

The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) say on April 4, a woman was running on the trail system near the intersection of Neyagawa Boulevard and Dundas Street West when she noticed a man pass her on a bike. The woman alleges that further down the trail, she noticed the same man walking towards her with his pants undone. “When confronted, the suspect ran in the opposite direction,” HRPS said in a release on Monday. Police added that the man did not speak to or touch the woman. Investigators believe the same suspect may be responsible for three similar incidents that happened between June and October of 2024 along the trail systems north of Dundas Street between Sixth Line and Neyagawa Boulevard. They say in all three incidents, the suspect “exposed himself or appeared to be committing an indecent act,” but did not speak to or physically touch any victim. Police describe the suspect as a man between 25 and 40 years old, standing between five-foot-eight and five-foot-ten with white or light brown skin, short dark brown or black hair, and a medium build. Anyone with information is asked to contact HRPS at 905-825-4777 ext. 2216, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
