Complete the Markham Bypass

The Markham Bypass has been talked about for decades. When I got on council, I put pressure wherever I could to speed its completion.

• The completion date of the first phase opening has been advanced from 2013 to this year. It’s now open to traffic from Highway 48 to Highway 407.
• The next stage, extending south to join 9th Line should be partially open by 2008, to be widened later by the Region. (This has been opposed by the Regional Government. They want to delay this so it can all be done at once. I’m fighting to get this done on our schedule, not the Region’s.)
