The residents of Burlington…

The residents of Burlington and Burlington city council oppose the removal of green spaces that are permanently replaced with luxury homes. Halton region has recently announced a comprehensive plan for housing that continues to address the type of new housing that is required. Luxury homes on a critically situated area of storm water management places the residents of Burlington at risk for future costs due to flooding. We ask that the builder should have to prove their plan is effective by pausing all future building for 10 years after completion of Phase 1. If their environmental plan is successful in light of more extreme weather events then we are not adversely impacted. No one will know but the news of wildfires and flooding in Ontario is not encouraging to residents of Burlington.
