Also, any news on the 174 to Orleans and beyond to Rockland?
I haven't seen anything from the City on the 174 widening to Orleans.
The funding was approved to widen the 174 from Trim to Rockland (80Million), but the city apparently refused it? I suspect that the city is looking to offload this highway back to the province. There is supposedly a EA study commenced in 2007 that was supposed to take 3 years, so 2010? |
The city did refuse it, but I don't think it has anything to do with the city wanting to offload the road back to the province. I think widening it doesn't fit with the city's plans at this point.
Interesting to note on that page that the province and city are also working to connect Hunt Club to Innes at Anderson Road. If that was part of the plan all along then I missed it somehow.
