Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[danbrotherston]

Aaaaaaand — like clockwork, the Highway 7 is magically back in the budget for everyone to see. I predicted this is an election promise, like it has been the last 40 years, and will continue for the next 40 I am sure.

Highlights include:

Planning one of the most ambitious capital plans in the province’s history, with planned investments over the next 10 years totalling $158.8 billion, including $20 billion in 2022–23.
Investing $25.1 billion over the next 10 years to support the planning and construction of highway projects across the province, including:
Building Highway 413
Building the Bradford Bypass
The first steps to enable the future widening of Highway 401
Improving the QEW Garden City Skyway
Continuing the next phase of construction for the new Highway 7 between Kitchener and Guelph
Reconstructing Highway 101, the Timmins Connecting Link
Investing $61.6 billion over 10 years for public transit, including:
Breaking ground on the Ontario Line
Advancing planning work for the Sheppard Subway Extension
Planning and design work for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension to Toronto Pearson International Airport
The Bowmanville GO Rail Extension
Weekday GO Rail trips between London and Union Station in Toronto
Passenger rail service to Northeastern Ontario.

This is the budget that DoFo stated on the record would not be followed if he wins the election?

Why is anyone bothering to even cover this news I have to ask.
