I'm not sure I would suggest "toll-free" highways are positive thing environmentally, socially or economically.

Tolls may or may not be a barrier for diverse communities, as the tolls may fund the very infrastructure and services needed by diverse communities. Tolls are an important tool and consideration for transportation demand management and mitigation of greenhouse gases and climate change.

I'm not sure I understand the example of EDIA in road maintenance and residential traffic infiltration affecting evacuation routes in an emergency. Is this suggesting that no road maintenance should occur during any times where there could be forest fires, flooding and landslides or that at all times there should not be any alternate routes that have infiltrating traffic in residential areas (which could be very impractical depending on what infrastructure needs to be repaired)? If there were to be an emergency, I do not think road maintenance would allowed to remain in place blocking any evacuation routes. Municipalities would have first responders clearing those evacuation routes. I don't understand this example.

Technique

The traffic flow example is an unhelpful, NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) type example, because maintenance activities are critical to ensuring that infrastructure does not deteriorate and can be repaired. If there is temporary traffic infiltration to a residential area, because of required maintenance, this should not be held up as example of EDIA considerations.

There is no section on low income individuals. Is this intended to be incorporated on the intersection of economic disparity with the groups listed here? Similar question with people who don't have reliable housing - they are at major risk in major climate events.

has this been sent to MECP for feedback? Infrastructure planning is normally governed by MECP with respect to risk and consultation. It may well be a worthwhile reach out.

This conflates infrastructure and individual sensitivity. Infrastructure sensitivity is measured by the long or short term decrease of functional performance, increased operations and maintenance activity / costs or long term loss of function. Individual sensitivity is as described and is related to loss of access to services from infrastructure failure. Infrastructure can be sensitive to failure without loss of service access with adequate risk mitigation.

In 7.1.1.1, reference is made to "infrastructure maintenance data and tools." That there are also accessible tools available for climate data projections could be mentioned here, instead of just saying "climate trends data" (trends are not the only important info for assessing climate change impacts). For example, the online tools available through PCIC and ClimateData.ca come to mind.

The term "forecasting" isn't really appropriate for future climate projections, which come with higher uncertainty than short-term weather forecasts. The timing of modelled climate change, e.g., is intrinsically much more uncertain, even if can express some confidence in the magnitude and direction of change.

Could "Increased Social Justice" be a section? Sometimes it is necessary to use legal requirements and financial savings, but at the end of the day governments should serve the people and saving lives and preventing suffering should be government's moral obligation, to achieve increased social justice - in other words, it is the right thing to do.

This is confusing because we were talking about equity but the paragraph starts out talking about inclusive infrastructure. I think the point needs to be consistent to be more clear. Also, I think there could be more said about how an equity-based approach to retrofits can be applied - or at least more meaningful examples. At the municipal level, we are asked by funders to go beyond engagement with marginalized communities and consider empowerment approaches, for example. It could also include spending more funds on the areas where the most marginalized communities live/depend upon, etc...

Also, there are some laws/documents that result in the provincial government's duty to consult. Also relevant is the municipal context - the province's duty to consult can sometimes apply to municipalities - for example, when we have a provincially funded grant, or when there is an Indigenous burial site within the municipality. Also, provincial papers often guide/require municipalities to consult on their secondary and official planning processes - which have environmental impacts.

Perhaps beyond the scope of this document, but you might consider including mention of targeted individualism: link

Because the way that dominant groups are having to grapple with climate disaster is also bad and needs improvement - so a targeted universalism approach would mean better for everyone, but still with additional supports for the marginalized

The phrase starting with "For example, by putting a higher financial burden..." is a fragment, not a complete sentence. Additionally, the logical connection between it and the sentence prior is not clearly expressed.

In addition to correcting the sentence fragment, I suggest simplifying the language a bit and making the connection between exclusion and unforeseen negative impacts more overt.

"Theories of vulnerability have constituted the conceptual core of the anthropology of disaster for roughly 40 years. Yet, there is an undercurrent of disquiet among disaster scholars and community leaders who worry that vernacular uses of vulnerability can be insulting to individuals and communities with whom we work, and/or with whom we identify. There is a growing discomfort that categorizing the “vulnerable” acts to discursively nullify the everywhere-visible “resilience,” toughness, and genius that exist in communities that are habitually exposed to risk and hazards. We argue that constructing vulnerability as a characteristic of subaltern peoples and marginalized places is truncated at best and can perpetuate violence—epistemic, semiotic, and material—at worst. To identify the “vulnerable” is, we contend, necessarily a process of otherizing and essentializing. We see and are concerned to further encourage an emergent form of disaster anthropology that is particularly oriented toward understanding and theorizing the institutions, systems, and individuals that structure risk, and in the process to focus attention away from “the vulnerable.”...we recognize vulnerability conceived not merely as historical inequity that produces negative outcomes, but as nested and contested sites of struggle for different visions of utopian futures, for contrasting articulations of what constitutes risk, and for diverse cultural logics of the good."

A key aspect of infrastructure management that is loosely referenced is to understand the current levels of service being delivered to the community. From an EDIA-perspective, it is valuable to also understand how equitably this service is being delivered. Infrastructure lifespan and performance is, in my view, a separate but closely related question that should be answered. Having a separate question that focuses on levels of service and understanding how equitably they are being delivered would be valuable.
