The provincial government must forget the 1950's and its now out-of-date push for more highways and use of the automobile as main vehicle of transport. Both its pollution and misuse of land is a disaster for both our current and future needs.
Carving the 413 out of the greenbelt would allow permanent destruction of farm lands, threatened species and the wetlands needed for drinking water to prevent future flooding caused by climate warming.
Micro control of cycling bike lanes is an infringement on local and community control of this efficient, low carbon, low cost transportation system. Former Toronto city planner, Jennifer Kiesmet, said the when a municipality reaches a population of 3 million people, it could no longer count on vehicle traffic as a viable source of mass transportation.
I urge that this bill be dropped to protect our local democratic rights and our future climate survival by ending plans to block a Federal Environmental assessment of of the land degrading highway 413.
