The Ontario government ramping up planning for the controversial Bradford Bypass after selecting a company to start designing the wester section the 16-kilometre highway.
Opponents of a proposed highway north of Toronto say the road, as planned, would have untold environmental consequences.
“As Ontario grows at a historic rate, there has never been a more urgent time to get shovels in the ground and build new highways and roads,” said Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria. Ontario Liberal Bonnie Crombie — whose party opposes Highway 413, the government’s other signature project — said she is in favour of the road.
Ontario Green Leader Mike Schreiner said the route was a waste of money and would be environmentally disastrous.
