MTO seeks highway design guidance

By LAURA CUDWORTH, Staff Reporter (Beacon Herald)

The Ministry of Transportation is seeking information from the agricultural community regarding farm equipment and travel patterns for farmers before starting the design phase of the Hwy. 7/8 expansion.

The chosen route follows Hwy. 7/8 until about 2.5 kilometres east of Shakespeare. At that point it drops south and follows the train tracks and eventually veers further south through a bush lot and farmland. It then runs along a municipal drain before it connects with Line 33 (Pork Rd.). Read MORE

Perth East asks MTO for an update

The following report was shared with the groups in Perth County, who have been involved in the Highway discussions and EA process. It was solicited by Perth East Council.

From Glenn Schwendinger, COA:

It had been some time since we had received an update from the MTO and it appears that some of the target dates which the MTO had referenced in the past had come and gone without any additional information or notice being received.

As such, the decision was made to send a request on behalf of the Township to the MTO to request an update. A response was received, and this was forwarded to Council last evening. The attached report was received for information by Council.
