PETITION: Re: St Thomas Aquinas Redevelopment
We the undersigned are opposed to the scope of changes proposed by the Halton Catholic School Board for St. Thomas Aquinas High School. Our protest is in regards to the lack of respect for our green and quiet community we currently enjoy - and that Oakville so proudly professes to endear. Specifically we object to:
Sports-field flood lights: This will destroy a quiet neighbourhood with invasive light, crowd and car noise to 11:30pm
Removal of mature trees: Especially those along Lakeshore Road and Dorval Road
Adding a new street onto Lakeshore Road across from Holyrood Ave - This will create more traffic congestion on Lakeshore and cause needless destruction of mature trees.
Excessive parking due to plans for high general-community usage: Asphalt parking lots will cover much of the area not covered by the building or artificial sports field.
Eliminating the parkland currently enjoyed by the public for casual sports and exercise.
Please limit the plans to a school, not a community centre!
My neighbors keep telling me how much they fear the loss of our quiet streets and mature trees. I am working to secure a timeline for a formal meeting with the board members because we deserve real answers about these intrusive plans.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me why I fought for this neighborhood in the first place. I am honestly moved to see so many of you protecting the quiet streets where we live and raise our families.

Those trees are gorgeous and vital to the streetscape. Dont tear them down just for more asphalt parking. Oakville is losing its character fast.

Lakeshore is already a nightmare at rush hour. Do not make it worse.

Leave the green space alone. We need parks more than we need overdeveloped school lots.

The traffic on Lakeshore is bad enough as it is. Adding another intersection is a disaster waiting to happen.

Keep the lights off! We moved here for a quiet neighbourhood not to live next to a stadium. Very frustrated with the lack of transparency from the board.

WHY are they turning a high school into a 24/7 community hub? The noise until midnight is absolutely ridiculous. Think about the people who live here!!
