Mr. Peter Walker, representing the Town of Pickering
displayed drawings in support of the type of
unit proposed, namely low rise apartment blocks
as opposed to triplexes. He stated that this
higher density complies with the original intent
of the Town Centre Plan and supports the commercial
development in the Town Centre. The site plans
for the apartment blocks are to be considered
at a later date. Mr. Walker displayed a plan
of the Town Centre which incorporated the proposed
Eaton's department store, a re-alignment of Sheridan
Mall Parkway to the south, a proposed Transportation
Terminal to the east of the Pickering Corporate
Centre and a parking garage at the Sheridan Mall.
In response to questions from Councillor Cahill,
Mr. Walker inidcated that when site plan agree-
ments are executed for the expansion of the Sheridan
