I would like to see an Environmental Assessment conducted and made public for the lands that are going to be developed for the Therme Spa, the parking garage and the new concert venue. I feel this information needs to be public so all citizens are aware of how their tax dollars are being spent.
New beaches should not be created as there are currently beaches that have existed for over 40 years. New wetlands will not be viable for many years at the expense of destroying the former wetlands. This is not efficient and bad for the environment.
The creation of a new parking garage for thousands of cars is not in the public interest nor does it adhere to current climate goals for the city or province. The site needs to be fully accessible by efficient public transportation.
Taking public land and turning it into private land is not in the public interest. Because this is being carried out with a private developer the process is not transparent. I do not feel a 99 year lease is appropriate and again, not in the public interest. What happens should the company go bankrupt 50 years down the line. The public pays for it.
Ontario Place needs to be redeveloped as a public space and be accessible to all.
