- Connections to the existing and future regional transit network including Highway 427 adjacent to the site on the west, providing important north-south connections to Highway 401 and The Gardiner Expressway.

- Phase 1 of the development would consist of Blocks 1, 2, and 3, and Streets A1 and B1 (as generally shown on Diagram 3 of the draft Zoning By-law) to provide servicing, frontage and access to the development blocks.

- Phase 2 would consist of Block 4 and Street B2 (as generally shown on Diagram 3 of the draft Zoning By-law) to provide access and servicing for Block 4.
