Please consider the longer term impact of paving over wetlands for the region's future.

Urban sprawl is a problem across Ontario. We continuously build expansive, single-family housing projects without first building public transit infrastructure to support them, which means more cars on the road, and larger parking lots to accommodate those cars. The consequences of all of this--more pavement (ie. less green space), more cars (ie. pollution), etc.--exacerbates the climate crisis.

Please consider converting as little wetland as possible and maximizing its use. Build mixed-used complexes, mid-sized residential apartment complexes (not just single-family homes, which should be at a minimum), and transit infrastructure (including LRT).
