This is the last part of Brant that's "walkable." Yet while there's plenty within a fairly short distance (No Frills and retail plaza less than 700m to the south, the downtown and lakeshore are within 1.5km, Burlington GO station about 1 km in the other direction) I don't know how many people who live around this intersection use their feet as much as their wheels. |
It's Burlington - even downtown automotive modal shares are huge. The area is very walkable though for sure, so it's not zero. Just not downtown Toronto levels.
Intensification here will be much better than intensification on Appleby near the 407 in terms of modal shares, but they won't be downtown levels either.
This is proposing about 1.1 spaces per unit. I could see it realistically being closer to 0.7 or 0.8 spaces per unit.
