The push for a sustainable and transit-ori- ented Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is admirable, but it'll be another 50 years before we get people out of their cars, according to Mayor Gord Krantz Krantz made this comment during a recent discussion about the need for a new 400-se- ries highway, dubbed the GTA West Corridor Hwy. It would stretch from Hwy. 400 and through Halton Hills to the Hwy. 401/407 junction. Milton’s mayor said the talk of a new highway in the GTHA has been around for a very long time, but it always seems to “die a natural death because of the politics involved.” Halton officials weigh in on needfor new area WePalntSIz By Rachael WIlllams CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF 'Everyone agrees it should go somewhere, but no one can agree where. It's that NIMBY (not in my backyard) syndrome that we’re all too familiar with," he said in an interview. Halton MP and Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt said the need couldn’t be greater, with roads getting to a breaking point in the GTHA. Without changes, the average time spent by commuters in the GTHA is forecast to increase by about one-third in 20 years â€" translating to an extra 27 minutes a day. But she questions why the Province is consider- ing making the four- to six-lane thoroughfare meet at the same location as the 401 and 407 interchange. “Putting another 400 series highway into that interchange is going to be very problematic," said Raitt.
