Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Townline Road

Quote:And as Dan said, the cycle will repeat. The only question is how long this latest widening will last. Likely with the postponement of proper GO service, as recently announced by the provincial government, it'll be congested again in 20 years (the age of the current configuration) or sooner.

And people wonder why everybody takes the car. Highway enthusiasts need to get a clue: people will use what is available. A substantial fraction of the passenger traffic on the 401 could and should be on public transit (certainly most of the commuting) and a substantial fraction of the freight could and should be on rail.
