Ontario Place is a special,…

Ontario Place is a special, pubic asset and the proposed redevelopment is in direct conflict with the principles that Ontario Place was founded on. The proposed redevelopment plan will remove the open, accessible and natural park attributes and convert a disproportionate amount of the land to buildings and hardscaping. This plan is entirely the opposite of what needs to be done with Ontario Place. Trillium Park is the perfect example of how the Ontario Place land can be redeveloped with a focus on nature and people/culture. There was no need to remove the majority of the existing mature trees or create excessively large structures. Trillium Park was integrated into the existing Ontario Place landscape and was true to the original vision.

I am completely against the proposed develop plan as presented in the ESR. It has completed missed the mark. The built structures have to be dramatically scaled down and the existing mature trees maintained.

Thank-you.
