In the recent Oakville Beaver article titled, "Fight to save Glen Abbey gains ally," one sentence at the end needs to be repeated.

This will be a beautiful park area, connecting to Lions Valley Park, so that Oakville can have the kind of central green space we can all be proud of and enjoy.

I agree with your thinking. Where else are they going to find significant pieces of land near existing services? Certainly the Province of Ontario seems to understand this and of course the alternative is more urban sprawl and less affordability.
