RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - MidTowner - 03-29-2016
I find the news release a bit deficient in information. They say that the 401 will be widened to 10 lanes, and that there will be HOV lanes (not HOT, alas), but not the extent of them. And they say that three new interchanges on the 401 will be built, but don’t say where.
The Morriston bypass is definitely called for. I’m not sure the 401 needs to be ten lanes continuously to as far west as Cambridge. The money would be better spent giving travelers options to get them off of the 401.

‘Movement’ loosely defined, so as to not include actual movement. CBC reports, “Construction on the bypass could begin as early as 2020” — just in time for the next election.
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - MidTowner - 03-29-2016
More like the election after the next election..

Basically the 401 would become express-collector 'between the sixes', and someone wanting to stay on 6 could just stay in the collectors and never merge with the 401 proper.
I know I saw some plans sketched out at one point, but it's clear the bypass would be west of Morriston, cutting through that wooded area that's next to the 401. I think one of the new exits is for Concession 7.

I found this: http://guelph.ca/wp-content/uploads/GuelphWellingtonTransportationStudy.pdf which has a brief section on page 112 showing what you're talking about.
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - jamincan - 03-30-2016
There was an EA website available at one time, but it doesn't seem to come up anymore when I search for it. As I recall, the proposal was changed from a collector-express configuration to (I believe) two additional lanes that begin and end where 6 enters and exits.

Disapointing that the map on page 119 showing the area "International Airports" only documents Pearson and Hamilton.

Was YKF an international airport in 2005?

Yes. Northwest Airlines had multiple daily flights to Detroit.
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - Pheidippides - 03-31-2016
If they are going to ahead with this why wouldn't they just push this new interchange a little further west and straighten out the northern part of highway 6 and along concession rd 7 so it meets the 401 further at east and at the same point?
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - SammyOES - 03-31-2016
Seems like a pretty big waste of money to move the southern part of the northern part of highway 6. That part of the highway is already 4 divided lanes.
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - Elmira Guy - 04-04-2016
Did the snow plows get put into storage or what? Both Erb and Weber streets have not been cleared and it stopped snowing a while ago.
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - GtwoK - 04-04-2016
Victoria as well. Thought it was fairly ridiculous of the city to spring the whole "If you park on the street tonight you'll be fined because snow plows" thing, made even more so by the fact that there were no snow plows out at all.
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - timio - 04-04-2016
My street (a small crescent in a residential area in Kitchener) was plowed by 7 this morning, so the plows were out overnight.
RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - panamaniac - 04-04-2016
The plows and salters were out on Benton St hill last evening, but I guess it always gets done quickly.
