Since 1967. Metro Council and its planning board have been campaigning for expansion of the boundary. It was estimat- ed that the 240-square-mlle area had only enough vacant land to meet residential development needs for seven to 10 years. =to the east of Scarboro which would include 40% of the ex- isting Pickering Township south of Highway 7. Metro also sug- gested that 50 square miles of York Region above Steeles Avâ€" enue [which contains most of York Region) become part of‘ Scarboro and North York. This latter plan was recognized in May 1970 when Mr. McKeough. then the Minister of Municipal Affairs, unveiled his plans for the Region of York at a meet- iing held in Bayview Secondary School. Indications were then that this northerly expansion was but a few years in the of- in the inflated cost. of housingl and that the degree of inflation would increase unless rcsiden-‘ tial development expands into‘ York Region. The institute wants the prov- ince to amend the Toronto-Cen- tred Plan For Development to lift the limit on permitted residen- tial growth in the area north of Metro. The region and its component municipalities had already reached the same con- clusion and have made repres- entations to the province to have this amendment to the plan considered.

The province has indica- ted that it will take on the responsibility of reducing the population and develop- ment pressure on Metro. rather than have Metro try to ease the problem by ac- quiring‘ more vacant land through a boundary expan- sion. The first step in this direction is the provincial proposal to establish the community of Cedarwood on 15,000 acres south of the new airport in Pickering Township, which will accommodate from 150,000 to 200,000 people. Mr. McKeough also clearly spelled out to Met- ro that the province will do the planning for the new airport and community of Cedarwood although much of the area comes within the municipal, jur- isdiction of the Metro Plan- ning Board.

The further reduction in dir- ect interest in planning beyond its own boundaries indicated by Mr. McKeough's remarks, is expected to lead to a complete revaluation of the role of the regional planning agency.

The institute said this was a factor in the inflated cost of housing and that the degree of inflation would increase unless residen- tial development expands into York Region.
