Another highway?

Dear Editor:

Before building another highway that will destroy environmentally sensitive lands in the Greenbelt, perhaps Doug Ford should actually require the owners of the 407 toll road to pay the billions of dollars they owe the province in penalties because it is not helping to decongest Highway 401 when it is so little used.

Of course, that might cause them to consider it unprofitable. Perhaps the province might consider buying it back and lowering the tolls to make it more affordable to actually use, instead of spending the money on building yet another invitation to urban sprawl and pollution?
