REJECT the streamlining of the EA.

We’re in the middle of a pandemic that has already changed our lives in ways we couldn’t imagine a few months ago. We need to be imagining what the future could be, not plunging ahead, building highways for what could be a past way of life.

Even in 2017 an expert panel recommended that there were alternatives to building this highway. They suggested that these alternatives could meet or exceed the same objectives with lower costs.

By fast tracking the Environmental Assessment (EA) for this project, and allowing construction before the EA is complete, we are putting farms and green space at risk.

Our farmland and natural heritage are essential to our quality of life, economic prosperity, and resilience to climate change.

I urge you to reject the fast tracking of the Environmental Assessment for this project.
