Expanding the Greenbelt to include the Paris Galt Moraine and enhanced protection of urban river valleys are great first steps, but will be inadequate unless followed up by more substantial greenbelt expansion to environmentally sensitive areas in surrounding areas to the present greenbelt. This should include additional protected areas in Simcoe, Northumberland, Dufferin and other adjacent counties. The positive impact of adding the Paris Galt Moraine area to the Greenbelt will be negated by proceeding with Highways 413 and the Bradford Bypass which will produce damaging impacts to the Greenbelt which should be halted immediately.
