Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

The province has always been quite hesitant. They have been quite, I guess, guarded, in providing timelines on this particular project - I guess probably because the delays in the past,” said Art Sinclair the chamber’s vice-president. “So there haven’t been any firm commitments but that key commitment is there that this is a priority project and we expect the province to follow through on their commitment.”

This is the kind of nonsense I'm talking about. Saying that "utility work" is suppose to "start" within the next 9 months is clear evidence that it's not a priority. Saying "construction is planned to begin in 2024" (with both "planned" and "begin" doing a LOT of work in that phrase) is clear evidence that it's not a priority.

I don't feel strongly for or against the new highway (nor do I intend to get into that here), but something needs to be done as development keeps ramping up along the existing highway 7. And the design for the existing highway 7 should be radically different if there is or is not an expressway that is running roughly parallel to it.
