There's something about them that looks very different than the typical styles one expects to see in the GTA.

Agreed. Sort of Scandinavian? Minus, of course, all the parking spaces.

 

[mininamib]

Perhaps, but with the parking lots it looks like developments you'd seen in wealthier parts of a city in a country like Nigeria or South Africa. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like what is missing is a stucco or brick wall around the compound. But without the parking spaces, it seems more like something in Scandinavia.
There is too much decoration for it to be Germany (anything new here is a simple plain stucco box in either white or grey).

The masterplan where each block is surrounded by surface parking is horrible. I can't believe anyone would propose that. No one gets any green space. There's not even any meaningful communal green space.

Each one of them gets a green space: EV plugs at every parking space.

Greenwashing.

I unliked the comment just to like it again.... I couldn't agree more.

Sounds confusing, as Chinguacousy is seen as a continuation of Mavis, not running parallel to it.

Yes and no. They were realigned to run into each other, for some reason, but Chinguacousy is Second Line West, which is known as that and Silken Laumann Way and Terry Fox Way in Mississauga. Of course, as Mississauga and Brampton love to do, they butchered Second Line West and broke it up. And then we wonder why traffic is so bad when there aren't enough arterials. They butchered Creditview too, even worse. Why they couldn't just leave the concession roads alone and build around them I'll never understand.

I was referring to the area where the names overlap (i.e: here). The reason Second Line was butchered was to preserve Meadowvale Village: They didn't want to widen it to six lanes through it, and with Mavis so close it was reasonable to bypass it. I agree with you regarding Creditview though. Why it was tied into Meadowvale Blvd. and Financial Dr. extended to Steeles and beyond (requiring a turn to continue north) rather than a continuous Creditview is beyond me. But I think the reason is was never left intact in Brampton itself was to avoid building a new bridge across the Credit River.
