Pave over green space?

Dear Editor:

We cannot afford to pave over any more green spaces. Many creatures and insects are already in a major decline.

We also do not need over 17 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years.

A major highway all to save 30 to 60 seconds?

We need to increase green spaces; build affordable houses/apartments and create affordable, clean transportation facilities. For example, increase Via Rail/Go Train service.
