Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[Bjays93]

We clearly need a good road connection to Guelph, but it’s important to not make more bad, unproductive, wasteful neighbourhoods in the process. It’s more complex than just roads = good, safety = socialism.

Agree with so much of this discussion. Toronto would be so much better without the Gardiner, but a Guelph to Kitchener highway connection is very different, since for the most part it’s not going through city or dividing existing communities, and is instead offering a much needed, high speed corridor between two rapidly growing cities that already have high volumes of commuter traffic between the two.

It’s important not to forget that highway 7 is also apart of a broader vision which includes slowly upgrading Hanlon until it’s also fully grade separated, leaving you with a concrete highway network between Kitchener, Guelph and the 401 which is much needed.
