Here’s the funny thing I’ve always wanted to bring up:
When MTO was constructing freeways back in the days, 417 was the only one that wasn’t connected to any other freeway (until 416 was done at the turn of the century). Don’t you all think that’s sort of like Saguenay, QC? Well, obviously, Gatineau across the river is no small city whereas there’s little across the river from Saguenay (Chicoutimi). Another difference is that 417 and 401 are joined by A540 (now A30) west of Montreal while A70’s really just on its own.
But I’d think that Bayshore’s like Chicoutimi, Gloucester like La Baie, Arnprior like St Bruno and Renfrew like Alma.
Also, @Acajack thanks for responding to my message. I was gonna ask this in the Ottawa forum but (1) I don’t know how many people (if any) are familiar with Pontiac and (2) I have nowhere to post. (Highway 417 Widening isn’t that appropriate for a question like this.)
