The greatest urgency is to slow or stop the out of control population growth in the study area. Once we pave over the most productive farm land in Ontario, for residential, then where and at what cost does the food they need, in ever increasing amounts, come from. Universally, folks in small rural towns complain about the encroaching 'cities' and the negative effects on their daily lives. Place new residential builds on non productive land ie poor soil quality/rocky terrain such as anything north of Orilla etc. then provide high speed public transit to the GTA etc for workers. This effort requires long term strategic planning ie 100 yr, not 15 yr glances. It requires 'vision', something that I fear is not even available these days.
