Pickering: Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan

Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan: A Dec. 17 ruling by the Ontario Municipal Board clears the way for the Seaton community, 10 years after Queens Park brokered a controversial swap that gave developers provincial land in Pickering, in exchange for property on the Oak Ridges Moraine, according to The Star. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said work on basic infrastructure roads, water and sewer pipes and power hookups could start as soon as this spring and take upwards of two years, before residential construction begins and One of the largest residential developments in Canadian history upwards of 30,000 homes has passed its final hurdle, with construction to start later this year in north Pickering. Seaton was held up for years by appeals and wrangling over environmental issues and other problems, but the OMB decision allows construction to start as soon as details can be worked out with the City of Pickering and Durham Region.
