Insane because @townofeg doesn't have an approved W/W servicing solution. Worse, at the behest of Mayor @VirginiaHackson @YorkRegionGovt is set to approve an urban boundary expansion on #farmland for 660Ha more. Wonder if the fire department can service it all? 1/4
#EastGwillimbury is still using open waste water lagoons in #HollandLanding, operating well past their best before day since 1974, discharging to #LakeSimcoe. Great article by @fatimabsyed 2/4 thenarwhal.ca/york-region-wa…
#YorkRegion Council will endorse the 2051 Official Plan tomorrow then submit to @ONmunicipal for approval by @SteveClarkPC. Growth proposed in EG is most expensive, requires 2 upgrades & EAs to the yet to be approved & built Upper York Sewage Solutions 3/4 yorkpublishing.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ash…
Supported against staff recommendations, enabled by a motion from #EastGwillimbury's Mayor @VirginiaHackson, clearly supports EG Whitebelt Landowner's Group & @bildgta consultant submission for more un-affordable, car-dependent, #sprawl 4/4 yorkpublishing.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ash…

Voting on 2051 Official Plan now, looks as though it will include 250Ha of Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) #Greenbelt land in #Vaughan...they are talking now about splicing it out & voting on it in parts? Staff clearly said can't sign off if it includes ORM land...1/x Image
Chair Emmerson who has failed to call motions out of order says on the whole the plan should be supported and it's only a little bit of the Oak Ridges Moraine here and there, not a precedent setting vote @YorkRegionGovt Code of Conduct 2/x
The poor Clerk is being asked to splice Official Plan apart so @YorkRegionGovt Council members can support the bits & pieces...It's crazy. So messy! It all stems from motions brought forward by politicians that should have been called our of order 3/x

#Stopthe413
@ONgov recently erected #Highway413 billboards at Hwy 10 & Old School Rd. Timed well w/ writ dropping & #OntarioBudget2022.

Argo owns land on SW corner.

Why here @ONtransport @C_Mulroney? 1/4

caledon.ca/en/town-servic…
Developable land owned by Argo in #Vaughan preserved, #Stopthe413 preferred route moved N destroying Nashville Conservation Reserve.

How land got into urban boundary when it should’ve been frozen in #Highway413 study area is a mystery @ONtransport? 2/4

thestar.com/amp/news/gta/2…
Argo owns lands rezoned by @SteveClarkPC via #MZO 171/21
Justified b/c of the 👻 #Bolton Go Line & Humber Go Station 🚉 that aren’t a @Metrolinx priority.

By approving @ONmunicipal sided w/ @TownofCaledon dismissing @regionofpeel’s objections.

Here is another powerful lobbyist that we haven't heard about for #StopThe413. @LIUNA Joseph Mancinelli. Did you know that LIUNA invests their pension with Fengate Asset Management who specializes in investing in P3 infrastructure projects & real estate?
Fengate & LIUNA invested in the Walmart Distribution Facility in #Vaughan that needed an #MZO only to rezone 4 acres of #wetland to allow for 200 tractor trailer parking spots and is located just south of where the proposed #Highway413 will end. fengate.com/blog/2020/09/1…
Fengate invested in the controversial massive, ill suited #LakeSimcoe Friday Harbour Project. fengate.com/blog/2017/07/2…

Community Value Plan #StopThe413 meetings @ONtransport admits noise studies aren't complete. They can't even talk to us about how the community will be protected from noise; can't tell us anything about a "major physiological stressor"! 1/x

Here is the description of what a Community Value Plan Meeting is, note noise attenuation is the first item listed.
Check out this massive disclaimer from AECOM for #Stopthe413 . I thought it strong considering it's in the Community Value Plan Meeting Report.

Attack on #YorkRegion's #Greenbelt ROPA 7 requests portions #Greenbelt prime agr. to be re-designated to rural in #Markham #Vaughan. Lipstick on a pig. ROPA 2, ROPA 3 brought lands into urban boundary & areas subject to ROPA 7 protected as Regional Greenlands System 1/x ROPA 2 Subject LandsROPA 3 Subject LandsROPA 7 Subject Lands
Vaughan, Markham & York Region staff don't support ROPA 7 b/c it's premature. Areas called 'Greenbelt Fingers' part of ongoing Policy Direction review for #YorkRegion's #OfficialPlan2051. About protection of watersheds, habitat connectivity & corridors, urban agr. 2/x
Applicant is over simplifying the request. Rural recreational uses are not well defined, for eg. a golf course could be allowed. Explained well in #Markham's Staff Report 3/x
