To be fair though, there aren't very many bypass options that will help congestion on the 410 (unlike Highway 401, Highway 400, Highway 6, Highway 7, etc). From a traffic flow perspective, the only way to relieve congestion on the 410 (ignoring transit options), is to widen it. Even the N-S highway planned for around the 401-407 interchange won't help the 410 very much.
His map was exclusively showing new highways, not widened ones.
I think widening the 410 is a solution of limited potential.....not enough room in the corridor to widen by more than 1 lane each way and that is not the answer......serving a city that size by linking it with the main regional roadway system with 1 centrally located N/S highway not only creates the sort of congestion evident on the road....but it creates the sort of east west congestion that is evident on all of Brampton's major roads......as people traverse the city to get to the 410.
What is needed is that N-S highway in the west (which will be a preferred route for people in the west end of town (and the Northwest is major growth sector in Brampton) AND a N/S roadway in the East (could be the 427...but the preferred route for that seems to be a bit far east).
Frankly, the "moving people around" needs of Brampton have been so long neglected that I think a more radical approach is worth a shot.......just tell people in Brampton that there will not be another inch or lane of highway constructed in or near the city......instead, focus will be on bringing to Brampton the highest levels of rapid transit service available in the GTA outside of downtown Toronto.
So, whatever people deems as the fair share of provincial funds for transport to be allocated to Brampton will go towards rapid deployment of a fully electrified, 15 minute frequency, 7 days a week, all day GO service.....plus the Hurontario LRT will go through Brampton (tunneled through the narrow downtown streets - say from Nanwood to Vodden) and extending up Main to Sandalwood into the Heart Lake transit terminal.....and an east end LRT that starts at that Heart Lake area goes along Sandalwood to Airport....runs down Airport to the Malton GO then connects to the aiport terminals (replacing the people mover from the Viscount Parking to the terminal).
East west Zum routes would continue to expand to connect the two LRTs....and those routes would be given full signal control systems so they always had right of way over cars and provided rapid links to between the two LRTs.
Radical stuff......but the road/highway system has been so long neglected that I believe it is beyond the stage where it could possibly catch up.
The combination of lack of road lanes and lack of inter-city transit (both provincial jurisdiction) and a provincial policy that encourages further population growth in an underserved city of over 1/2 million people....is bordering on criminal neglect.
climbing off soapbox now.
