CARS and Citizens Coalition of Greater Fort Erie thank Dr. Bacher and PALS for the active role they have taken to protect “Good General Agricultural” land in south Niagara and will be joining in the appeal process at the OMB.

In addition to this proposed intrusive land use, many other negative impacts on the quality of life in Fort Erie need to be addressed such as noise pollution, air and water quality, natural heritage, financial implications to the Town and Region and the list goes on. By approving the Official Plan Amendment without completed studies, how has the Town and Region demonstrated to the ratepayers the true impact of this proposal?

OMB is an expensive process and CARS with the support of the Citizens Coalition of Greater Fort Erie, will do their best to fight to protect our community. Alas our dollars will only go so far. If you are opposed to the building of the speedway, excessive noise, air, water and light pollution. Traffic complications, increased crime potential and the degregation of agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands in Fort Erie, PLEASE help out. Donations are vital to our success!
CALL 905.994.7422 or check out the CARS website http://www.forteriecars.org or http://www.ccgfe.org for more information

Thanks for this important article. While PALS is appealing this matter, it is imporant that the province join us in this appeal, to defend its own land use planning policies at the OMB. This is needed to prevent a possible repeat of the disastrous Port Dalhouise Tower hearing, where such terrible pro-development bias was displayed
