I have faith too that the T line will eventually extend into old Ancaster, but that might be a tough sell.

Fully agree Ancaster Village should attract developers that are ready to go, would love to see some high quality initiatives (eg 101 Locke). Far too long vacant /under-developed land in the Village. Happy to see 4/5 storey stepped along Wilson to still maintain the character. With just a single lane each way on Wilson, going to get tight if going too dense.
And I would be thrilled to see the Food Basics plaza redeveloped with retail along the street front and multi- level residential in behind.
