Opinion: Quarries must be close to Toronto’s development. Proximity of aggregate to job sites is key. Pits can take up to 10 years to approve and are required to meet needs of Ontarians.
If you build it they will come … and if you don’t build it, they will come anyway. That’s the reality we face in Ontario.
Or can newcomers expect road degradation, overheated portable classrooms, and inadequate accommodation? How do we balance legitimate environmental concerns of extracting aggregate with the infrastructure demands of today and tomorrow? The proximity of pits and quarries to job sites is important. The Ontario Chamber of Commerce recently released a study that found that crushed-stone reserves from licensed sites are being depleted quickly. Within 10 years, material will have to travel from 110 kilometres away, 75 km. more than the current average travel distance. This will result in higher costs, higher GHG emissions, and, more likely than not, longer times to complete projects.
