While you reattach your ass, please explain what "being a biosphere" changes. There are a lot of biospheres, for example: Enviroment Canada or The one in which we ALL live I think what you mean is biome. Even that is a little broad a term, risking making a fallacious argument, I think you mean to say that we are a unique region of biodiversity that should be protected. Yes and so is much of Ontario, and such protection should occur. The issue is that you live in an area that has been designated as a growth zone for the sole purpose of protecting all the other biomes which are exceptionally similar. This was an exceptionally pragmatic decision, predicated on the utter impossibility of preventing all growth. The consequences of the decision is 1) we may live here, 2) not all decision about zoning and expansion can be made with a 0 impact. The intention is not no impact, but least impact, and that again is CENTRALIZED construction. It is important that such construction not be needlessly destructive, that no waste be flushed into are drinking water, and that minimal greenhouse gases be emitted. As such an intermodal ttransfer station does reduce that by allowing a merging for transportation to allow us to better use the trains to move cargo. |

LMAO stands for Laughing My Ass Off for clarification: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/8ba2/ Fair enough, not on the wiki disambiguation page, so I will admit m mistake, but now that I am educated. The Niagara Escarpment Commissions formal response to Ontario's Place to Grow plan: Quote: Recommendation 13
In support of a long-term multi-modal Transportation Strategy, the following modifications are recommended to the policies of Part 3.2.1: Policy 3.2.1(2) Priority will be given to infrastructure investments made by the province that support the policies and schedules in this Plan. The deletion of the phrase “made by the Province” limits investment to provincially regulated highways and Go-Transit and does not encourage co-operative arrangements with other stakeholders (e.g., rail and marine transport). 3.2.1.3 The Minister of Public Infrastructure Renewal will work with other Ministries of the Crown, the Federal government, public and private sector partners to identify strategic infrastructure needs and opportunities to support the implementation of the long-term multi modal provincial transportation Strategy to 2031 and through the sub area assessment of regional and local transit and transportation, and water and waste water systems as provided for in policies 3.2.2.4 and 3.2.5.6. 3.3.3b) Offer a balance of transportation choices that reduce reliance upon any single mode and promotes transit, cycling, walking, rail and other alternative modes to roads. 3.2.2d) Offer multi-modal access to jobs, housing, schools, cultural and recreational opportunities and for the movement of goods and services. And that sounds like assent from the protective body you are hiding behind. |
