Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[westwardloo]

This is Great news! Obviously this should have been done years ago. Easy infrastructure project for the government to announce to stimulate the economy in these unprecedented times. All the land was bought up years ago. I understand where danbrotherston is coming from, as i am a huge supporter of green infrastructure (Bike lanes, Public Transit, Etc). I think we will see some green investment as a product of this highway being built. I think the City/ Region should start planning a complete overhaul of Victoria street now that it will no longer be used as a highway. Victoria could become a more attractive urban street by turning it into a boulevard with tree lined medians, reducing the lane width to slow traffic down and maybe rezone a portion the endless strip malls to become mixed use developments. I am more excited about the future potential Victoria street has if HWY 7 is built.
