City staff recommend Council oppose a revised proposal for a 10‑storey, 229‑unit building at 13572–13586 Bayview Ave, beside the Wilcox–St. George Provincially Significant Wetland. The applicant has appealed to the OLT. I have consistently opposed this project and support defending Council’s position. Residents may submit comments to clerks@richmondhill.ca by noon June 16.

Plans are underway to revitalize Brickworks Park. This includes improvements to the playground, tennis courts, softball field, walkways, shelter, site furnishings, signage, planting, and the addition of fitness equipment.

Concern continues about the lack of a sidewalk on Yonge Street between Silver Maple Rd and Estate Garden Dr/Old Colony Rd. With no development planned, a permanent sidewalk may not be feasible. Pedestrians are forced onto a narrow shoulder beside fast-moving traffic. Staff are exploring interim safety measures like bollards, with York Region approval required. Please stay alert in the area.

A development application has been submitted for the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Elm Grove Avenue.

As your Councillor, my job is to ask questions before problems arise. This motion supports responsible planning, protects taxpayers, and ensures Richmond Hill has the infrastructure needed for future housing and jobs. York Region is becoming a major data centre hub, and my motion simply asks whether their combined infrastructure demands have been fully accounted for so we can plan proactively, not react later.
