the humber river system in vaughan and some though not most of the citys remaining farms and rural land but the region heard from landowners who want an area between teston and kirby roads removed from the greenbelt then adopted the citys even tougher posi tion that only lands already in public hands or vaughans natural heritage system should be protected most of the vaughan land designated protected coun tryside in the greenbelt plan has access to significant infrastructure for develop ment york planning com missioner bryan tuckey said last week limit growth needs vaughan mayor michael di biase has said die green belt as written would limit the citys future growth needs in july the region seemed willing to accept the provinces position that the longplanned bradford bypass and extensions of hwy 427 to barrie and hwy 404 to lake simcoe are not immediate priorities provid ed 404 was built to ravenshoe road in georgina and 427 to the cn intermodal hub at rutherford road in vaughan the region is now saying the proposed highways and sewers should be in the greenbelt plan so people will know what infrastructure may be required for growth mr tuckey said if its not a priority for 30 years thats the provinces prerogative the province will hold four days of legislative hear ings on the greenbelt plan the first scheduled for jan 31 in markham it hopes to pass a greenbelt law by march 9 when a moratori um on development approvals expires the province may also release a draft growth plan early in 2005 but as of last week had no scheduled date for completing growth legislation the region has consis tently argued the growth plan is needed before the greenbelt mr tuckey said all were saying is they should come out at the same time monthly payments 10 down
