The Ontario government is in the process of building a toll 400-series highway running through the western GTA, including Halton.
It’s an interesting idea, but not everyone is on board. The Ontario Green Party Leader, Mike Schreiner opposes the highway, saying it’ll encroach into the Green Belt.
The project is currently undergoing an environmental assessment, which according to Schreiner, is being fast-tracked by the province.

The Ontario Transportation Minister, Caroline Mulroney, says, “the highway will help alleviate traffic congestion and improve the movement of people and goods across the province.”
