The 404 is a busier highway than you might realize. I haven't really spent a lot of time in that area during the morning rush hours but there are a lot of quarries in Northern York Region that generate a tonne of truck traffic which the new highway will divert from local roads. York Region has already four-laned Woodbine Avenue going north from Ravenshoe in anticipation of the Hwy 404 tie-in.
I am sure that York Region has lobbied for the highway extension as well so that they can build more subdivisions in Georgina.
