Dear sir or madam,

I understand that there is a proposal to put another road through
Formosa Farm.

Please do not participate in the paving of our precious farmland. As
shipping costs increase, our local agriculture (some of the best in
Canada) becomes even more valuable. Organic farms, especially,
enrich the soil and take CO2 out of the atmosphere, and add carbon to
the soil.

For multiple reasons, we must not "pave paradise, put up a parking
lot". There are smarter, more efficient ways to reduce congestion
than short term fixes such as building more roads.

Thank you for your consideration.

All the best,
Karl Perrin
