The question of Project Niagara traffic impacts is far from settled
How will traffic be managed? Barricades? Speed bumps? How many additional vehicles will there be in Old Town? Where will they park? What are the plans for shuttles? Locations? Traffic impacts?
What are the full impacts of Project Niagara traffic?

Hundreds of your constituents – and many others - agree We the undersigned are opposed to the site proposed for the Project Niagara music festival. We believe a music festival on the proposed site will: 1) cost too much; 2) impact negatively on the environment; 3) impact the quality of life of Niagara-on-theLake residents; 4) impact negatively on visitors. We believe there must be a better location for Project Niagara, one that does not engender the above issues. We would like to see the site used in a way that is more in keeping with its environmental sensitivity and heritage importance.

Our Position on Project Niagara
Concerns are legitimate
Burden of proof rests with the proponents
With satisfactory answers, there is no basis for opposition
To ignore the questions is to be reckless
The environment … our quality of life … cost
