Hello, I am of the opinion…

Hello,
I am of the opinion that bike lanes should be the decision of the municipal government as part of their local responsibilities.

Highway 413 is an unnecessary construction that will significantly damage quality of life for families, communities and local environments in the 905. I think the Province would do better to focus on finishing the numerous Metrolinx projects - including the extension of the subway lines, the twinning of the GO rail lines, new GO stations that have been previously approved for future growth. Much money has been previously spent on these projects and it’s better than wasting time on a highway that isn’t fully planned.

I also think the Province should investigate some of the proposals regarding the 407 - like buying it back completely or subsidizing the cost of transport vehicles to take them off the 401 and reduce a lot of the congestion. If after the Metrolinx projects are done and existing traffic is offloaded onto the 407, maybe that’s when the 413 should be re-examined. But right now, it will cause further upheaval in the region’s traffic.

Environmental Assessments should not be further pushed aside. Doing the work properly ensures the safety of everyone, limits the damage and liability of so many projects. And ensures a better conservation of the environment of course.

Expanding broadband internet to rural communities is great, BUT why use an American company? Using a Canadian company will save time, money and ensure we have an in house system that will not be vulnerable to international risks or invasion of privacy from foreign interests.
