Duffin Heights Cut Down to Size




So, the documents that I posted in the forums have revealed that the city is looking to be more modest with the short-term growth of North Pickering aka Duffin Heights.

Some of the fat being trimmed:
  • A reduction in the number of schools from 4 to 2 (public & Catholic)
  • Stormwater facilities go down from 5 to 4
  • The previous 5 neighbourhood parks will be cut down to 1
  • most importantly, the population growth will be drastically reduced in the first 7 years...with (only) 5800 500 people calling Duffin Heights home by 2011.
