Doug Ford plans to start building a new superhighway near the 401 next year. Why not move all the trucks to the 407 toll highway instead, like experts are recommending? Paul Webster: http://torstar.co/946d50CQ49y
For some half a million people on any given day in the GTA, a big part of the daily grind is Hwy. 401
Instead of taking advice to negotiate to move trucks onto the 407, the government has decided to build a third freeway. https://www.thestar.com/business/2020/12/19/doug-ford-plans-to-start-building-a-new-superhighway-near-the-401-next-year-why-arent-we-moving-traffic-to-the-vastly-underused-407-instead.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=Business&utm_content=

A new highway would not only cost taxpayers billions of dollars, it would be an environmental disaster, critics say. Due to the pandemic, the 407 now has so little traffic, its owners could be on the hook to pay “congestion payments” to the government. https://www.thestar.com/business/2020/12/19/doug-ford-plans-to-start-building-a-new-superhighway-near-the-401-next-year-why-arent-we-moving-traffic-to-the-vastly-underused-407-instead.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=Business&utm_content=
Do you think Ontario should build a new superhighway to relieve congestion on the 401?

Despite the advice the Ontario government solicited that urged it to get more trucks onto the 407, Ford has diminished environmental assessment law and disempowered conservation agencies in order to fast-track the GTAW, critics say.
