As an environmental student, I am deeply concerned about the proposed Highway 413 Act. Exempting this massive infrastructure project from the Environmental Assessment Act could have grave ecological consequences.

While I do not question that Highway 413 may help to alleviate some gridlock conditions, I believe that it has already been fast-tracked so extensively that it's very likely there are areas that have not received proper research and consideration (and that's before the proposal to exempt Highway 413

Shut this act down, as well as the plans to build highway 413. This act is not forward thinking, it is unjust, and thwarts all positive social impact and environmental justice. Everything behind the 413 plan and this act is soaked in crime and power.

Skipping the EA in this time and age is irresponsible. Do not encourage sprawl by building this highway. Invest in connected public transit systems instead.
This is an extraordinary waste of money hat anyone who spends more than 3 minutes looking at it can see how Doug Ford will be able to abuse it for his developer and mobster friends.
I'm sure this road to nowhere will help cut down on traffic on the Gardiner and 401. It'll definitely be worth everyone's time to drive 20 minutes north just to save 2 minutes on a southbound commute.

This is a terrible idea. Leave the bike lanes alone. They help congestion, not hinder it - we can have far more people moving via bicycle in the same space a car would take up.
