Millcroft Greens Phase 2…

Millcroft Greens Phase 2 does not reflect Burlington’s long-term housing or community priorities. The proposal would permanently eliminate valuable green space in exchange for a small number of low-density homes that are NOT necessary to achieve the City’s housing objectives.

A permanent sacrifice with limited public value. Once this land is developed, it cannot be restored, yet there is no benefit to the surrounding community at all. Burlington is already on track to meet its provincial housing commitments without developing this site.
The development will further result in the loss of an important environmental asset. The project would remove mature trees, wildlife habitat, and one of Burlington’s largest remaining urban green spaces.
Even greater are the stormwater concerns. Replacing natural green space with homes, roads, and driveways reduces the land’s ability to absorb rainfall and increases runoff. The development will create undue hardship for the existing community and force those residents out of the community which they have helped build and make great.
