What about Hwy. 7?

Dear Editor:

Well, here we go again. Premier Doug Ford gets the federal government to drop environmental reviews and gets his pet roadway built, which no one wants, goes through environmental sensitive areas, and removes good, necessary farmland.

But what about the planned Highway 7 between Kitchener and Guelph that has been in the planning for over 20 years? Hardly any thing has happened in the 20 years except for some highway realignment in Kitchener, and every time construction is announced, it gets delayed, or has no available funding.

As far as I can see, Highway 7 is not high on Mr. Ford’s list and we apparently don’t have congestion on the existing Highway 7.

Any person over the age of 70 will have no hope of ever travelling on a new Highway 7 at the current rate of congestion and construction.
