 Local communities are heading for a train wreck if the province’s plans for Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) along the Yonge subway extension don’t go back to the drawing board.

That’s the opinion of some area residents and public officials after Infrastructure Ontario announced in December its plans for the Bridge and High Tech stations along the Yonge North Subway Extension.

While the province contends the TOCs — built in partnership with developers who will foot much of the cost of the infrastructure — will reduce urban sprawl and create complete communities anchored by public transit, area resident Graham Churchill argues they will create a “condo wasteland” instead.
