I have lived in the Milcroft…

I have lived in the Milcroft community for many years and I strongly oppose this proposed development. Anyone who has lived in the area knows that large sections of the area collect and hold water after heavy rain. This land acts like a natural basin, helping to reduce flooding in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Replacing it with more homes and pavement will only increase runoff and put existing homeowners at greater risk of flooding, especially as extreme weather becomes more common.
The property is also connected to local creeks and waterways, so additional development will inevitably have impacts on water quality, wildlife habitat, and the natural environment.
The city of Burlington has already reviewed this proposal and determined that this additional development is not appropriate. I ask the Province to support that decision and protect this important green space for the long-term benefit and safety of the community.
