I do hope they take cash. Sometimes your card(s) can be cancelled when traveling due to suspicious activity. For example, I had a credit card cancelled trying to use it at a gas pump in the US once. At the Blue Water, I've been a long line at the toll booth because someone at the front couldn't...

Do you want to kill like a hundred thousand jobs? Because that's how you kill like a hundred thousand jobs. No one's goona want to detour, and most of those jobs aren't coming back after the political shenanigans are resolved.

Doesn't look like the Ontario one does- Highway 3 should be a divided highway here for instance https://www.ontario.ca/files/2025-07/mto-orm-map1-en-fr-2025-07-08.pdf By the way, any time you're headed to Windsor, the first OnRoute service station on the way back has a tourist info area where...

These AADT figures- when high on a 2 lane road, clearly show the need for some sort of upgrade. A freeway or dual highway between K-W-C and Hamilton does seem chronically overdue for example. When the AADT is low- that doesn't paint the full picture for the need. Here the expansion comes as a...

Twinning or 2+1, not a full freeway, is a great place to start. Getting the 417 to Petawawa is fine, but then it could downgrade to a twinned 17 to eventually reach Sault St. Marie. You could maybe have a RIRO style road like 11 or 35/115 between North Bay and Sudbury. The Sault needs a bypass...

Do you know how many jobs depend on that bridge? You're asking so many workers to lose their job (even if temporarily) to play politics with an insane person. Not everyone / every business may come back if things become too chaotic instead of stable The 2022 trucker protest was bad enough, and...

Tunnel or Blue Water Bridge for me, always Ambassador might crumble before Gordie Howe opens. Shoddy maintenance and a daily beating from transports are taking their toll. Just look at the missing letter lights I assume once Gordie Howe opens, Ambassador could take advantage of the lower...

I disagree, The bridge is like 100% complete and it's wasted time, money and resources if that infrastructure isn't at least somewhat utilized. Every day it sits unused is one less day in it's usable life. Getting it operating will let us start recuperating the toll costs, and get revenue...

Bradford Bypass will be minimal but the 413 will take some stress off the 401 for those west of Toronto who want to get to the 400. It may only be 1-a couple % of the traffic but it is something.

Niagara Area Highway Improvement stuff Highway 58 is a full freeway from the 406 through the Welland Canal tunnel. I've always wondered why it wasn't extended to the QEW; potentially meeting up at the 420 interchange. This would give you a freeway alternate for the Garden City Skyway, a...

Just built a free LRT along the Niagara Parkway between Clifton Hill and Horseshoe falls to start. You can extend it further each way after. Simple.

At the very most, I could see the 427 going up to the Bradford Bypass- that would give you an alternate to the 400 so it isn't a single point of failure, at least up to here. Problem is the 427 interchange at the 413 is designed to be a 3-way, same with the connector for the Bradford Bypass and...

Seems relatively easy to do too. I think all the overpasses can accommodate an extra lane, although the flyover for 403 WB at the 407 would lose its shoulder without a rebuild. Building the missing ramps at QEW/403 may also be part of it
