develop into a nice city with a downtown
It's most definitely up for debate whether a casino helps or hinders that ambition.
develop into a nice city with a downtown
They have one In Ajax, not that I am poo pooing on this project. I actually love this for that location and in Pickering. Pickering has been trying for years to develop into a nice city with a downtown.. Ajax finally catching up to Pickering... although they still don’t have a real mall. But are great for having 2000 plazas. If you drive. This ties in nice with the new go station bridge to the mall. All futuristic looking.
This is nowhere near downtown Ajax nor downtown Pickering and will do nothing for making either of them more urban. This might be a fun getaway spot for people on occasion, but neither town will benefit from this in terms of the day-to-day, and how their urban infrastructure might be enhanced. Some locals will be employed, and some will lose their shirts gambling here. That's about it.They have one In Ajax, not that I am poo pooing on this project.

Where in anything you just wrote did you make a case for this being good for Downtown Pickering? @ptbotrmpfn is claiming that this will be a boon for Downtown Pickering, but all Downtown Pickering is, is a mall surrounded by parking, one old mid-rise office building, and a GO Station across the highway. This complex, 3km to the east on the other side of an industrial area, will do nothing for urbanism in Durham Region.

Sorry i was just stating that Durham Live will be very quick and accessible from Pickering Centre and a possible boon to Durham overall. I cant speak for the other poster but there is no doubt it will be a great asset to the area.
The growth expected for Durham in general will help grow these small suburban-urban areas like downtown Pickering gradually in the future. The fact you will be able to live near the BRT, GO, 401, shopping, and quick access to entertainment will certainly make Pickering Centre a far more attractive place to become a sucessful suburban-urban node in the coming decades.
Way to always be positive that’s the spirit.

Did you enjoy Season 12? I sure did
oh no I didn't even know there were that many seasons. Last season I watched was Swayze Express, and that was ten years ago. Perhaps will check it out.
