Mattamy Homes is fronting funds for the program that bumps up construction timelines and will be reimbursed, without interest, in the future when the roads projects would've normally come forward in municipal budgets. The program is designed to improve transportation cor- ridors in both the east-west and north-south directions and to more evenly distribute traffic over roadways by provid- ing alternate routes for drivers. Since the aforementioned sections of road aren't yet accessible to local drivers, the construction work will bear little impact on existing traffic.
