Bradford Bypass Petition
From the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition
Join us in asking the Ontario Minister of Transportation and the Federal Minister of Department of Fisheries and Oceans to stop work on the Bradford Bypass until the following is done:
- Assessment of harm to the Lake Simcoe watershed, demonstrating the ability to meet the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan’s science-based targets and objectives;
- Full archaeological assessment and full consultation with – and accommodation of – First Nations’ interests for putting a highway over an extremely significant historical / First Nations site, The Lower Landing;
- Proper permitting or denying permits to destroy the fish habitat they will destroy;
- Transparent reconsideration of Bypass routes to reduce environmental impacts on Lake Simcoe and allow regional governments to properly address local traffic issues;
- Demonstration that this highway will improve traffic movement.
