Does anybody know what happened to the Norwood bypass planned by the MTO on highway 7? Or the HWY 115 extension/Peterborough bypass to HWY 28 and CR 29? I remember hearing about these projects back around 2010 but can't find anything recent.

Yes it would be a travesty to deny the VIA proposal, I'm advocating for both. Build it and the drivers/riders will come. Madoc, Marmora, and Tweed are all shadows of the towns they once were, largely due to a lack of transportation in the central corridor. I drive highway 7 every day for work...

Highway 7 between Peterborough and Carelton Place is the most important from a provincial perspective. It's the missing link between Toronto and Ottawa, the direct route. 115 is already a 4 lane controlled access freeway which connects Toronto to Ottawa and the expansion of 7 between...
