Located at the intersection of Brock and Taunton roads, neighbourhood 17 is expected to house a popu- lation of 6,773 by 2031, and offer 591 jobs. The estimate for neighbourhood 20, which is bisected by Brock Road and includes lands north and south of Hwy. 407 where it links up to Hwy. 7, includes 8,134 residents and 9,807 jobs by 2031. “We expect that uses will intensify and build up along the 407 corridor and become denser, so in the long run we’re looking to get 11,000 jobs altogether,” Mr. van Nostrand said.
