If you're following any local news you'd know about all the budget debates.
Last year, nearly all major road projects were deferred to later years in order to maintain a tax freeze.
A measly 8 million was spent on road projects last year, and no new roads or road widening took place.
Major projects from 2012 were:
-Finishing touches to Wonderland N widening
-Finishing touches to Sarnia CPR bridge
-Improvements to Horton through SoHo (finishing touches 2013)
-Improvements to Fanshawe/Highbury intersection (finishing touches 2013)
-Talbot reconstruction (top coat of asphalt to come in the spring)
The road budget for 2013 is expected to be be ~30 million,
nearly 4x that of 2012, and I'm sure much of it will be slashed before the budget is approved in February.
Major projects for 2013 currently are:
-Southdale W widening from Wonderland to Warncliffe
-Oxford W widening from Sanatorium to Hyde Park
-Sarnia widening from new CPR overpass to Wonderland
Multi-year projects planned to get started this year include:
-Hyde Park Widening from Fanshawe to Oxford (to be complete by 2015)
-Old Victoria reconstruction from Hamilton to 401 (to be complete by 2016)
-Wonderland/401 interchange (to be complete by 2016)
-Wellington widening from Commissioners to Exeter (to be complete in phases between 2014-2018, will total 6 through lanes from Base Line to Roxburgh)
...Now let's see just how much of that actually gets built.
