They go to the tiny library and find out that the book they need is on reserve in Waterloo. Oh joy!
Heh. Oh, do they *not* like hearing that...

Laurier has pretty much built all of its parking lots up except for a few smaller ones in the SW corner, and some tiny ones in between buildings. UW still has to get rid on the huge ones off of University, and the smaller ones facing Columbia, but besides those, most of them have already been built up or have projects in the pipeline (all of the east campus lots will be gone in 4-5 years).WLU has acres of parking space on their home campus that should be redeveloped before any talk of new campuses. Same goes for UW: huge areas of poorly used land.
this is how the surrounding area will be developed. IIRC the areas between the rail line and First line near the new site are supposed to have a commercial component as well.

Hey! Thanks for that. Very informative. At least it will be contiguous. But holy crap, are they even trying? Is the entire Milton Planning department from 1956? Business parks and residential do not a city make.
I love how the first thing you see upon entering Milton from the 401 is the Maplehurst superjail.
And on the other side, Laurier-in-the-cornfields. It will make Erindale feel like a part of the urban fabric.
As for the Milton development "plan", more thought went into planning private superdevelopments like Don Mills, Bramalea, Meadowvale and Erin Mills.
I could throw a dart on that map and choose a better location for a university.
