For starters, this area NW of Fallowfield Station should 100% be a high-density mixed-use development, with easy access to a VIA Rail Station and BRT Station (future LRT).
Is it nice farmland? Sure. But so is a lot of the other property that has been added to the urban boundary at the edge of the City. And that other property is much more difficult to service for transportation, water, and sewer.
