Council briefly looked at correspondence [via Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Ted Arnott] from Cambridge MPP Rob Leone who also supports the Highway 6 Morriston bypass.
In his letter, Leone said he used to drive that stretch of road on his way to McMaster University.
“My experience was that traffic jams were quite common.”
He added, “Efficient transportation through corridors like this one is crucial to economic growth. Targeted investments in infrastructure will not only be vital to ensure businesses continue to want to do business in Ontario but also that families spend less time commuting and more time with each other.”
Arnott noted the resolution he’d brought forward in the Ontario Legislature that the Morriston bypass should be prioritized and placed in the province’s five-year investment program for southern Ontario.
While that resolution died on the order paper, along with all the other bills that were before the House when the government prorogued the Legislature on Oct. 15, Arnott reiterated the importance of this project to the community.
