Millcroft Greens Phase 2 is…

Millcroft Greens Phase 2 is not aligned with Burlington’s housing or community priorities. It permanently removes a significant urban green space while delivering a small number of low-density homes that do little to address affordability and are not needed to meet Burlington’s housing targets.

* A permanent loss for minimal public benefit. Once this green space is developed, it is gone forever, while the community benefit is limited.
* Not needed to meet housing targets. Burlington is already meeting or exceeding its provincially assigned housing goals without this development.
* Permanent environmental loss. Development removes mature trees, wildlife habitat, and one of Burlington’s largest remaining urban green spaces.
* Increases stormwater and flooding risk. Replacing permeable green space with roads, roofs, and driveways increases runoff and reduces natural stormwater absorption.
* The wrong type of housing. Large detached homes and townhouses do little to address affordability or Burlington’s most pressing housing needs.

Please take these legitimate concerns into account as you consider what to do for this particular proposal.
