Premier Doug Ford, who is on a campaign-style swing to Windsor on Monday, is signalling strong support for the controversial Highway 413 thestar.com/politics/provi… 
Highway 413, which is opposed by affected local municipalities, would raze 2,000 acres of farmland, cut through 85 waterways, and pave over some 400 acres of protected Greenbelt land in Vaughan. thestar.com/politics/provi…
Ford disputed a study by the previous Liberal government, which cancelled the scheme, claiming it would only save drivers between 30 to 60 seconds on their commute, “It’s going to save a tremendous amount of time,” he insisted Friday. thestar.com/politics/provi…
The Ministry of Transportation counters that the 60-km highway connecting Milton from Highway 401 to Highway 400 at Vaughan could save motorists 30 minutes. thestar.com/politics/provi…
Ford is also a booster of the proposed Bradford bypass, a 16.2-km highway connecting Highway 400 and Highway 404, crossing 27 waterways, and cutting through environmentally sensitive Holland Marsh lands. thestar.com/politics/provi…
