RE.The Fraserville fiasco.

In my opinion and I believe,many other residence of our community, this Fraserville development idea has gone far enough.
I truly believe,the whole idea needs to be scrapped and if at all possible,we need to find a way,to prevent future generations to start this all over again,mainly because,the Fraserville area is one of the most environment sensitive areas in our Township and it needs to be protected.The area is designed by nature to act as an filtering system for a large amount of water, entering the Otonabee river. People made a huge mistake in developing some of the area in the past by building the airport,highway and just settling in the area.
I realize those mistakes are irreversible.Let us try,not to make it worse with more development in the wrong place.
This whole idea has cost the tax payers to much money al ready. Please let us take our loses and get out.
It might be a good idea ,to find out what the people that reside in Frazerville would like to see.
For many years we have been paying large amounts of money, to consultants who do not , in my opinion , consider the interest of our township or the population as a priority.
I believe we need to cut all contact with them and when consultations are needed,we have to look for people who truly know what the priorities should be.
