I object to the routing and construction of Highway 413.

The route goes through prime agricultural land including the irreplacable specialty crop soils of the Holland Marsh. It will also adversely affect the watersheds of the Oak Ridges moraine. A new highway 413 will encourage more urban sprawl which will in turn put pressure on local agricultural operations.

Instead of a highway located so far north of the east-west routes between Windsor and Montreal, the money should be spent on paying truck tolls on highway 407 to makes better use of existing highways.
