I am greatly concerned over…

I am greatly concerned over the decision to build new homes and another highway in the "protected" Greenbelt. It is for this very reason the land was protected in the first place and completely undermines conservation efforts. Further, it sets a negative precedent, allowing governments to re-evaluate their position on development in this space in years to come. The importance of the Greenbelt has been well established, impacting this vital natural reserve and farmland is both destructive and counterproductive, particularly in view of the fact that there is already an underused highway 407 just south of the proposed location. These development plans must stop, and their resources allocated to improve preexisting modes of transportation, and less impactful housing developments.

Thank you.
