Make Cleaner Air Park Areas
I dont like how Barrie has no clean air big parks, For example in Woodbridge ont. They have Boyd Park. It is about 300 acres and it is all way below street level. So vehicle pollution is never smelled when in park. It is the cleanest spot in Woodbridge. We have no areas where you cant smell inhale Fire smoke from tons of chimneys or vehicle pollution due to lack of trees blocking or level land with road. Our Beach at the waterfront is a joke. There more pollution there than highway 400. Due to massive parking lot right next to pathway basketball court and beach. Also your water treatment plant produced very bad air as well. And i have smelled it right on the edge of the waterfront. We need greener and cleaner spots. I dont think there is 1 that I can say im breathing just clean air. Barrie is very dirt compaired to King city or Woodbridge. We should dedicate a large piece of land for a major park and make parking at front where road is and build park deep in the lot or woods. I do like the disc frisbee spot this is one that i dont smell too much. But you can when closer to road. Also have no been able to jog here bc there are no flat or clean spots.

i bet barrie has never given a ticket for littering a cigarette butt once in the life of barrie. I got one when i used to smoke back 20-23 yrs ago throwing one out my window driving in Toronto. So it does happen. I guess just a case of Steve luck

If you notice most residents have nasty coughs here over other cities. This is due to the amount of tobacco smokers and pollution levels. With construction, fire smoke non stop in winter and summer, tobacco smokers etc. very dangerous place to live.. and we have things like cigarette extinguisher boxes at places like infront of CIBC which should not be aloud. Or walmart or a convenience store on burton ave. This further make smoky spots. These ashtrays simply hold lit cigarettes and the next person has to inhale or walk through a cloud before entering. Move them away from front door or get rid of them. STOP ACCOMMODATING CIGARETTE SMOKERS ITS 2023. Start fining smokers for littering at parks so they quit faster. And help us non smokers breathe air. next proposed land should take pollution levels into consideration. Bc i bet if you take a level reader in the older parts suburbs areas these would have high levels of ppm or bad air. But you still allow widening roads or more smoky buildings to bet built in that area. You need buffer areas. Where it lowers the levels of bad air. You keep allowing concrete to overtake green space then it can only make air worse in that spot. Lack of these alone increase the bad air.
