Think of it this way: anything can be destructive at the wrong scale.
If you replace your residential street with a four-lane highway, you destroy your neighbourhood.
If you put a wrong-sized airport on a waterfront, you destroy it as a place for gathering, respite, and connection.
Ford’s expansion plan must be stopped. It’s another assault on the livability of our city, driven by someone settling old scores, who doesn’t care about the city as a thriving urban place.
We’re building a dense, urban, walkable city, and this airport expansion isn’t necessary. And it conflicts with that goal.
“This tiny speck of ecological paradise provides critical respite from our dense and urban concrete jungle and is vital for mental health, community, and happiness.”
