Well, they’re doing it again. Promising one thing and delivering another.

Have you heard the news that the provincial government is now planning on stopping the next extension of the 407 at Simcoe Street rather than taking it through to the Highway 35/115? Do the powers that be really think Simcoe Street has  the capacity to handle traffic resulting from a 407 terminus? In 2007 the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier of Ontario committed to the completion of the 407 East Extension from current terminus at Brock Road in Pickering to Highway 35/115 in Clarington by 2013. This commitment has been reiterated on many occasions by Ministry of Transportation staff and Ministers in your Government.

I’m including a link here to a letter written by Roger Anderson, Regional Chair and CEO, The Regional Municipality of Durham. I encourage you to put his letter into your own words and then forward it on to the following representatives by fax or mail.

Also, think about contacting:

Premier Dalton McGuinty                                                   1-416- 325-9895

Minister of Transportation, Kathleen Wynne                       1-416 -327-9188

Minister of Energy & Infrastructure, Brad Duguid                1-416-327-6754

I believe that the 407 extension is needed. They’ve been promising it to us for years and now need to deliver. The last thing we need is to have the 407 end at Simcoe Street – a road that is already substandard. Together, we can make our government accountable to us. We need them to hear that all we want is what has been repeatedly promised to us!
