Federal Impact Assessment Needed

To Whom it Concerns, 

I look forward to more public transit in Toronto but I'm very concerned that the Ontario Line lacks adequate environmental and health assessments and meaningful public consultation.

The TTC was ready to start construction of a thoroughly evaluated relief line subway but the new provincial government dismissed that plan and is pushing through a superficially evaluated plan with extensive above grade sections through densely developed inner city neighbourhoods. How to square that with the same people budgeting billions of extra dollars to extend rapid transit underground in the low density suburban neighbourhoods of Scarborough and Etobicoke?

Please carry out an Impact Assessment of the Ontario Line so we can all be assured that it conforms to applicable health, environmental and safety standards before handing over the federal government's 40% contribution to the project funding.
