Royal City Rag

This past weekend the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) held a couple of workshops with community members and other stakeholders to discuss the proposed improvements to the Hanlon Expressway.

You can review the Guelph Mercury report on the workshop here.

The good news, according to the Mercury report is the MTO’s preferred plan is off the table. Only time will tell whether the MTO will truly take the concerns of the Guelph citizens at the meeting into consideration when they come up with “son of the preferred plan”.

An excellent report from one of the community members at the workshop, David Graham, is available here. David’s blog, www.cdlu.net is an excellent source of alternative transit solutions to the “lets just build another highway” lobby.

The results of the workshop discussions will be presented back to the participants at another workshop on May 13th.

Credit is due to all those working hard to ensure that the concerns of the citizens of Guelph are taken into consideration as the proposed improvements are finalized.
