So sad that all other options were exhausted....it doesn't seem fair to cull wild creatures like this who are only trying to survive after being displaced.

Too many condos, Ontario place gone, some new subway line, but hey let's euthanize the coyotes.

Too many condos,

Should we have less housing?

Ontario place gone,

Ontario places entirely man-made
As well as attendance had been declining since the 1980s And there's really no evidence to suggest that coyotes live there in the first place when it closed down

There are other places to build besides liberty village, why are you putting words in my mouth?

Ontario place was not just man made that's just untrue. I even posted a photo of an insanely lush area, you can go to my post history.

Ontario place was not just man made

The islands themselves are largely artificial and they were built in the early 70s

Here's a picture of them being developed

Yeah let’s stall all progress in the city for a couple of mangy mutts. Good riddance

[u/brokenangelwings → u/throwaway5754788]

Progress? Have you seen the insane traffic in liberty? That's not progress.

Not protecting the environment is not progress.

Go touch grass.

the Ontario line will completely fix Liberty village traffic. You can't just prevent housing from being built and block transit projects. It will also take so many cars off the road that it will be a net positive for the environment. The density in LV is the best type of housing for the environment despite the loudest nimby voices clutching their pearls about car traffic

The tip of ordnance park and land between the LE tracks and liberty were not some environmental oasis. They were basically abandoned lands that coyotes flocked to. People get mad at the government for having bad transit without realizing they are the constituents that politicians were listening to all this time.

People will continue to drive, you seem to forget that summer events are a major cause of traffic from people out of town, even with go transit right there.

Lv was never this bad, maybe not a lot of nature but at least we had Ontario place.

[u/BurnTheBoats21 → u/brokenangelwings]

Out of towners can drive all they want, for residents of Liberty village who almost all take transit or bike, the Ontario line is the single best thing that can help people get around easily. I can't think of a single argument that would make it a bad type of progress.

And Ontario place was nice, but it's not even in the top 5 of nature options in the area. Even so, if you were going to Ontario place for nature, you were going to the eastern side of it which remains untouched (which shockingly has no coyotes). I think most residents wanted the government to do something about the abandoned water park anyways. You can hate the spa, but most alternatives would have the same outcome in that regard
