A motion put forward by Coun. Hilary Eastmure at a meeting on October 6, directs staff to look for opportunities and create policies that support transit-oriented development centres, including Country Club and Woodgrove, with clear connections to the rail system.

said Eastmure. The motion aims to recognize the corridor's potential for interurban light rail and active transit.
