Road design, transportation and walkability

I will add, that IMO it would be nice if we could have a thread on updates for the highway that doesn't end up in the same debate every time.  It's a fine/valid debate, it would just be nice if it didn't have to be in the same place as updates get posted because its a bit tired to me.

Good point. This is about the new highway 7 between Kitchener and Guelph — not running the Ion from Kitchener to Guelph, or better bus service, etc.

This will be good for the local economy, and indeed for the province. It was needed 30 years ago, and should have been addressed years ago.

I imagine at some point this highway will extend to the ETR. Though likely decades away.

That's an utter disaster...it's a proposed project that the liberals actually cancelled thank goodness.

This kind of idea basically says that you'd like infinite urban sprawl, and continued car dependence, mixed with a guaranteed climate disaster.

There is no scenario where we built that highway decades from now, but also solve climate change.

Honestly, it's so frustrating that people are still advocating for this...do you not want your children or your friends children to have a future? We are all smart people here, we know this is true.
