Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[ijmorlan]

Hwy 7 will never be a priority of the provincal government and for the cost it has ballooned to (over 1 billion) it might make sense to change direction on it.

They should at least change the order. Build the link roads on either side under the railway. Those provide a useful bypass of the Victoria/Lancaster intersection and will get used no matter what happens with the highway project, whereas the Grand River bridges will be a huge white elephant until the rest of the expressway is built. Build the river crossing only if and when there is a firm plan to build the highway connecting to it.
