Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[danbrotherston]

Lol, I wouldn't hold your breath, the Regional transportation plan gives a road diet for Victoria St. only the same value as widening the Western portion to increase the level of traffic sewer.  Remember, regional transportation planning places no value on urban form or quality of place, they only care about transportation, and apparently widening is just as good as active transportation.  There's a good chance this road will never improve...although we might have another election before the plan actually comes up, so we'll see.

You're right, I definitely should have used more conditional language in my comment. But I am hopeful. There will be much less of a case for maintaining Victoria as a traffic sewer (apt phrasing you used) when the new Highway 7 is nearer completion.

Sadly, this regional transportation plan is the 10-20 year plan, and it considered the traffic reductions from new highway 7.
