Heaven forbid you'd have to sit in traffic on the 403 for an extra 5 minutes every day....
What the hell dude. Those private companies, which use a certain fraction of the roadway, deliver goods and services for you, the consumer, to use at a reasonable time and cost. A lot of trucks use the road because there's no four-oh-something highway between Hamilton and Waterloo/Wellington. If the highway gets bypassed with a freeway to the west, then the existing road can be downloaded to Hamilton like all the others were in 1998, and you can have your non-congested road.

Hwy 6 between Waterdown and Morriston and needs to be bypassed completely; the traffic is too great for an 80 km/h 5-lane expressway with signals. The original 2-lane alignment in Puslinch and Morriston is good for nostalgia, but has long outlived its usefulness.

I don't know what you're on about, but good luck.
