Local MPP Ted Arnott refuses to give up on the Morriston bypass highway project.
“The traffic bottleneck in Morriston directly impacts the safety of local residents. However, it extends beyond that,” Arnott told the Ontario Legislature on Nov. 30.
“Because Highway 6 is such a key economic corridor, connecting the 401 to the Hamilton/Niagara region, as well as to the U.S. border, the traffic jams, which often stretch for kilometres, are costing our provincial economy millions of dollars each and every year.”
There is widespread support for the Highway 6 Morriston bypass, Arnott noted.
“Mayor Dennis Lever and township council have pushed strongly for the Highway 6 Morriston bypass project, The County of Wellington, the City of Guelph, and the City of Hamilton all support the Morriston bypass. So do the Guelph and Hamilton chambers of commerce, as well as Tim Hortons, Maple Leaf Foods, Nestlé Waters, Canada Bread and Cargill.”
“I urge the Minister to continue to push hard. We’ve been waiting for this project for a generation. Let’s work together to get it done,” he concluded.
