We need to do better when it…

We need to do better when it comes to protecting our greenbelt, endangered species and viable farmland. I do realize that more people need to be able to realize their dream of home ownership, however it should be done in a way that prevents urban sprawl and encourages a healthy balance between green space and developed areas. The greenbelt is a sacred area of southern Ontario which has a perfect balance that allows us to grow and produce food for nearly 3/4 of the year, if we chose to develop overtop of it with no concern for the environment around we will be shooting ourselves in the foot and causing issues not only for our generation but for generations to come. I have seen so much development in my short 33 years on this planet and none of it has been smart, well laid out or looked at from a future oriented perspective. The fact that a viable rail line was ripped out that travels through caledon/alton/orangeville in favour of nothing to replace it is sickening. I say this for all of the commuters... PLEASE get some viable train lines so as if this development continues AT LEAST we have alternative options to get in and out of the city that are not just mega highways that contribute to decimation of our beautiful area.
Is there no concern for preservation of rural zones and development of adequate public transportation?
