I do not support Bill 212. Studies show that building more roads and highways does not reduce congestion, it only encourages more people to use cars and ends up increasing traffic. In this era of climate catastrophes, we do not need more cars on the road. We need investments in transit, including town to town and city to city transit options.
Another reason I oppose this bill is that the propsed highway is on environmentally sensitive land and will harm the environment.
Yes, Ontario is growing, but please invest in inter-city and inter-town transit options such as buses and trains. We do not need more excuses to get in our cars and burn gasoline.
Thank you.
