Description
Pickerings ambitious plan to accommodate 72,000 new residents in its northeast corner, spanning from Eighth Concession Road to Highway seven and Westney Road to Lake Ridge Road, is moving forward.

However, environmental groups express concerns over increased flood risks, water pollution, and threats to the endangered Redside Dace fish. The city has preliminary stormwater and groundwater management strategies, and the conservation authority is guiding planners on watershed health. Studies are also examining impacts on fish habitat, including temperature and runoff control.
