I don't understand the point of this proposal. Why build towers in the middle of nowhere where there are no amenities and no transit? In 20 years this location could make a lot of sense but until then, residents here will be totally car dependent. It's not even that convenient a location for drivers given that Neyagawa dead-ends 1 km north of the site (until eventual construction of bridge to link Neyawaga to a southern extension of James Snow Parkway).

I don't understand why the Town/province allows most of the high density developments in Oakville to happen in cornfields, where there is no transit, sidewalks, or even storm sewers, rather than encouraging developers to stop sitting on vacant land in Uptown (undeveloped blocks near Walmart) which has been designated for high density development for over 20 years and has so much potential as a walkable neighbourhood but is too empty so far.

...welp, some folks find staring at fields of corn and grazing cattle relaxing.

Oakville does this because they're desperately trying to hit housing targets without approving anything the NIMBYs don't want. And by the way, the 407 transitway is planned for the 2040s, and the Neyegawa/James Snow bridge hasn't even been confirmed by Halton Region that it's even planned, let alone actual planning and construction. Even if they announced plans today, it would be at least 8-10 years before that opens. Unlike the Halton Parkway bridge, the Neyagawa bridge would/will be through actual greenbelt lands too.
