This is a terrible idea! Urban sprawl significantly increases costs for everyone through required new infrastructure and services and the perpetual maintenance and operating costs of the infrastructure and services. It is also horrible for the environment and handicaps our transportation systems. Read more

I am concerned about this plan. Businesses do not succeed in communities that fail. We need an approach to growth that respects the environment and protects our green spaces - the very things we depend on and look to as valuable when considering where to live.

Thank you for this change in direction from the overly restrictive policies that we have suffered under over the past 10 years. This common sense approach along with Bill 66 is a breath of fresh air.

I am opposed to changes to the Green belt that would reduce green space protections around the GTA and allow for expanded urban development in this area. The green belt should remain protect from development. Read more

I think it is absolutely ridiculous to open up the greenbelt to development. I see you are looking to invest in transit and housing which is great as long as transit is efficient and housing is affordable and compact. We absolutely cannot destroy the greenbelt with suburban sprawl. Read more

Protect our greenbelt, lakes, water. We can't get it back. I am a Real Estate Broker and I would benefit from the changes Mr. Ford has proposed but I totally disagree that loosening the rules on the greenbelt would help our people, land, future generations. Read more

Out family owns a beautiful property on the Niagara Escarpment in Milton. It is large at 71.5 acres. Unfortunately, under the rules we can only have one single dwelling. My brother and I both want to build on this 120 year old family farm land. As the rules are written we can not. Read more

This proposal is a big step backwards for Ontario's growth plans. These amendments would increase the number of cars on the road and allow transit expansion in low density areas. Together, this would only serve to worsen traffic issues in the greater golden horseshoe. Read more

To whom it may concern. I live in South Simcoe. I have no problem with our area growing, as long as it addresses some of my concerns with how it is done. Keep with the concept of, places to grow, ie; keep the growth in the identified growth nodes. Read more
