Ontario Allows More Density, Building Height Near Toronto Transit

Ontario has approved a plan allowing higher and denser buildings near 120 transit stations in Toronto, enabling 1.5 million more homes over 25 years. This aims to ease traffic congestion by increasing transit-area populations. The plan, which requires city council approval, triples the housing capacity compared to a previous proposal. The province continues collaborating on 14 additional transit station areas amid slower-than-needed residential construction.
