I support this study and would actually like to see it expanded to include the Seaton Valley as this system borders the urham region agriculture preserve and acts as a water way for dufferin creek. I have concerns about how this development is going to impact migratory birds paths, and also threatened species like bobolinks that nest in the grey-area grasslands around the preserve and seaton. There's already been an increase in flooding from otherdevelopents in the area, and a lack of management of the wooded regions in pickering. The region is also doing a lot of road expansion as well, which is causing some disruption to local wildlife populations. Overall I do not think the province's development of the durham region agriculture preserve has been thought out at all, and its been noted by the region that the cost to them would be unsustainable to develop the drap along with all the other proposals. I do hope the federal government takes into account these adjacent situations in its study.
