I'm just in favour of having of a having a good functional transportation system.
It wouldn't be 110. Hwy 75 is only 100. And it would kick back in before it got up to 100. There are 2 lights in St. N. $400M for how many seconds? Not worth it.

If they wanted a high speed route for truck traffic, build a single lane, high speed semi on roadway that kicks in around hwy 3/perimeter and then runs south to about Morris. But that's years away from being necessary.

For $400M, the safety argument is false. The current level of semi traffic doesn't warrant it, and the speed gains aren't worth it. You'd gain more by using the $$$ to close 330 and Wavereley at the perimeter and connect them to Kenaston via svc road and eliminate those two lights.
