Three things in one place: what is being dug up on your street, where the big projects actually stand, and a search of the Town’s own planning papers. Every fact here links back to the page it came from, in the Town’s words, so you can check it yourself.
The water plant: about $270 million, the largest build in the town's history, and the reason there is a limit on new homes.

“This Water and Wastewater Capacity Allocation Policy ( Allocation Policy ) has been developed to ensure that the remaining and future uncommitted hydraulic reserve capacity in the Raymond A.”
Servicing Policy, page 2“As such this report has not included the additional water capacity.”

I wrote these three by hand, straight out of the papers — no computer wrote them. The box above searches all 2,158 bits of those papers.
Rents are far above what middle-income families can pay, so we need many more homes, fast. The plan already says growth numbers are a minimum, not a cap Official Plan p.44. Once the water upgrade comes online, put the new capacity toward homes people can afford.
