The fact that the Ontario government is considering building another 400 series highway at this time, is not only a gross misuse of our taxpayer funds, but will be cutting through protected Greenbelt lands.

The greenbelt proposal appears to encompass Wellington county.
More specifically, Puslinch Township
The proposal would actually come into contact with A Place to Grow being the City of Cambridge at Townline Road which runs north and south from the 401

Hello Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed expansion of the Greenbelt. My responces to the discussion questions are below.
Question 1
The initial study area makes a great deal of sense to me.
Question 2

I suggest reinstating the provincial Greenlands program which provided 50% leveraged funding to conservation authorities and charitable land trusts to secure important properties within the proposed Greenbelt. The program ended in 2012, I believe.

Make new buildings and old buildings retrofit solar panels to take strain off the grid. And for clean energy.
Trees to filter along the sides of highways to stop snow drifts.
When renovating highways roads put in underpasses for the wildlife to pass.

Please protect the greenbelt and the rest of our natural beauty as much as possible. The future of our children/grandchildren need to be given some thought. There is a healthy balance to be struck between development and protecting our resources.
Developing the green belt is a bad idea. Urban sprawl is a problem, moreso in future. If he Ford Government was indeed 'for the people' it wouldn't just be developers.
A total sham.

To talk about expanding the Greenbelt while also planning on building a very expensive, wasteful and unnecessary highway in the Greenbelt is not only hypocritical, but also insulting to Ontarians.

Please consider expanding the Greenbelt even more than the proposal describes including enhancing the power of conservation authorities and bring back proper environmental assessments.

Actions speak louder than words. If the governemnt is serious about Greenbelt protection and expansion it would:
– cancel the destruction of the Duffins Creek Wetland
– restore the power of Conservation Authorities

Having balance in the environment and ensuring space for wildlife, trees and waterways is so important now and for future generations! It helps keep our air clean and maintain biodiversity by protecting Canadian animal species.

Expanding the greenbelt is laudable. However, it should not be used as an excuse to push through development of a useless expressway that travels through and damages important watershed sources in the existing greenbelt. The belt should be expanded WITHOUT the GTA West expressway tit-for-tat.
I moved to the Stouffville area because of the country, the beautiful sugar maple forests, beautiful in the fall. Now the nature is being destroyed by the uptick in the MZOs the council is allowing in the Greenbelt or farmland.

As a resident of the Golden horseshoe area and an avid outdoors person I can see the devastation that expansion causes it's extremely important to preserve much of our green belt and wildlife areas not only for wildlife but for ourselves.

Ontario does not want this.
As in the citizens who live here and who pay your salary.
This is a transparent act meant to ameliorate friends of the Government.
If you move forward with this, it will be yet another nail in the coffin of your re-election.
