As an Ontario voter, I am…

As an Ontario voter, I am opposed to Bill 212 for the following reasons:
1. I am opposed to the building of Highway 413. Highway 413 is an unnecessary project as we already have a Highway 407 that goes through the same areas as the proposed Hwy 413. Removing the tolls on highway 407 would help alleviate the congestion on the other existing highways.
2. I am opposed to the building of Highway 413 as it would be an environmentally harmful project to our Greenbelt and surrounding watersheds. The proposed route will cut through critical natural areas throughout three GTA watersheds: The Humber River, Etobicoke Creek and the Credit River watersheds. These watersheds are facing threats of urbanization and can’t afford to lose their remaining natural areas that provide critical services for surrounding communities and wildlife. We do not need more highways, we need better urban planning like building more affordable multi-dwelling housing and expanding our public transit systems like GO Transit.
3. I am opposed to the provincial government meddling in our city's decisions for bike lanes. It would be another waste of taxpayers' money to remove any existing bike lanes. Also, it would waste more taxpayers' money to have another level of government involved in this particular decision-making process. Please stop this gravy train!
I hope the Ontario government will kill this bill.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment.
