Chamber Submits Letter RE: Highway 407 |
|
|
The Provincial Government recently announced that the planned extension of Highway 407 to Highway 35/115 will now be split into two phases, the first phase ending at Simcoe Street in Durham Region. This has two key outcomes:
1. An inappropriate volume of traffic will now be funneled onto Municipal roads in Durham;
2. A key transportation link for the Peterborough area has now been delayed.
Years of preparation and study are simply being set aside in favour of a two-phase approach which delays the expenditure but causes significant problems in the meantime.
The attached letter has been sent to Premier Dalton McGuinty and MPP Jeff Leal. We encourage all members to write their own letter of support for completion of the project in one single phase. The correct addresses are contained within the attached letter.
