This highway should not be exempt from the EA Act. What's next? Is your government going to exempt an open pit mine? A new garbage dump?
You're setting dangerous precedents by avoiding EA's already with Ontario Place, even though sewage outflow is a concern, and with the removal of bike lanes, which will most certainly result in rising deaths of pedestrians, people who use bikes, and other vulnerable road users.
Save all of us money and be actually fiscally conservative and stop building this monstrosity of a highway which will steal farmland, ruin aquifers, increase pollution and groundwater pollution from highway run-off, and green space which we all so desperately need for all of our failing mental health.
Please just leave the place untouched and use some of the official opposition's ideas like using the 407, which is underused, for transport trucks that are just trying to get through the city. The highway's already there.
We know your plan is to privatize it after you build it with all of our money.
Please just leave it and keep this province's beauty while we still have some of it for our kids.
