Hello Ward 8 Neighbours,
With Toronto agreeing to a deal two weeks ago with provincial authorities that will see both the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway be maintained, operated and owned by the province, Hamilton City Council has voted in favour to do the same with the Lincoln Alexander Parkway and the Red Hill Valley Parkway.
For more details, please continue reading below…
Council voted unanimously in favour of engagement with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) in hopes of starting talks on transferring ownership, operation and maintenance of the two thoroughfares to the Ford government.
The annual average of daily traffic on the nine-kilometre RHVP is around 92,000 vehicles, while the eight-kilometre Linc sees some 88,000 every 24 hours.
Both the RHVP and the LINC contain seven exchanges and connect to other provincially-controlled roadways like the Queen Elizabeth Highway and Highway 403.
Public Works as well as the Planning and Economic Development departments are expected to put together a plan and analysis to support an upload with the City Solicitor to review the Haudenosaunee-Hamilton Red Hill Agreements.
Councillor Danko was interviewed by CHCH in regards to the Council vote, which can be seen below.
