Councillors say Hwy. 427 plan falls short
Current plans to extend Hwy. 427 a few kilometres further north doesn`t go far enough to address the region`s long-term needs, Peel councillors told provincial planners recently.
Highway planners Michael Chiu and Dean Kemper provided councillors with an update on a strategy to expand Hwy. 427 along Peel`s eastern boundary.
The current blue print proposes to extend the highway along the western edge of York Region, from Queen Street East in the south (just east of Hwy. 50) to Major Mackenzie Drive in the north.
Although the project is only in the environmental assessment and planning stages regional politicians, including Brampton Mayor Susan Fennell, argued the plan not only falls short with respect to distance but also lacks a long-term vision.
