“If built, the road will raze 2,000 acres of farmland, cut across 85 waterways and pave nearly 400 acres of protected Greenbelt land in Vaughan. It would also disrupt 220 wetlands and the habitats of 10 species-at-risk, according to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority,” according to the report.
The project is a ghost road; it’s been bandied about since its introduction in 2005 in various incarnations, but was killed by the previous Liberal government in 2018 as being too dangerous to the environment, including flood plains. Ford brought it roaring back, despite in 2018 saying, “[t]he people have spoken – we won’t touch the greenbelt. Very simple. That’s it, the people have spoken. I’m going to listen to them, they don’t want me to touch the greenbelt, we won’t touch the greenbelt. Simple as that.”
New cars, trucks and SUVs will fill six parks in downtown Detroit, along with food trucks and entertainment, this August as the Motor City Car Crawl showcases vehicles from just about every brand and raises money for southeast Michigan charities.
In what could be the beginning of a new tradition, the MC3 will help charities make up for contributions they missed because of the COVID-19 cancelation of the North American International Auto Show’s annual event.
“It’s a great way to get people outside to see the parks, enjoy new vehicles, great restaurants and raise money for charities,” said NAIAS chairman Doug North.
