A 75-townhouse development in Mississauga is going ahead after being deferred by council in September.

Mississauga city council voted 10-1 in favour of moving the Ward 6 townhouse project forward at the Oct. 23 meeting. While city staff recommend approval, the project at 1707-1725 Barbertown Rd., in the Eglinton Avenue and Creditview Road area, was previously deferred after residents disputed findings of a traffic study for the development.

After the meeting, Ward 6 Coun. Ron Starr said that he intends to work with residents to solve issues that could arise, but based on consultant and city staff reports, “there is absolutely no problem” in the area.

“Maybe in two or three years, when the residents start to live in the new homes and we generate a different type of a concern, then that will be looked after,” he said.
