Ford was in Bradford, Ont., to reiterate the commitment to plan the 16-kilometre Bradford Bypass highway, which would connect existing Toronto-area highways in Simcoe County and York Region
Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government is doubling down on its commitment to fully fund a controversial highway project that was first proposed decades ago.
The government has earmarked $2.6 billion in its fall economic statement for highways and bridges this year, including committing to advance the Bradford Bypass, but doesn’t have an exact figure for spending on the highway. Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner says the highway will contribute to pollution and called on Ford to cancel the plans, while Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca says municipal support is worth listening to while looking into environmental concerns.
