No; I don’t agree with the Province’s decision |

When the mid-peninsula highway was first proposed I thought it was a good idea. I don't know if it was shelved for financial reasons or environmental concerns. I would need to look into the reports and reasons for not pursuing the idea. Frankly, having been engaged in ward issues and on the campaign trail, the focus has been on issues that concern voters and residents in the ward. A mid-peninsula highway hasn't made any traction on the campaign trail locally. As a city builder it is always worth investigating major infrastructure projects, especially if there is potential benefits to our City, like attracting employers and residents alike. If all the employment lands around our airport get filled with employers who need to transport goods, combine that with increased traffic with the new Windsor-Detroit bridge, at the right time it may be necessary and make sense to revisit the project. |

I support the province's decision to put the mid-pen highway on hold and support priority given to regional mass transit as a more effective way to combat congestion while preserving our agricultural Green Belt. |

that's really up to province we have no say in it really |
| Omazic, Drina |
No |
Generally, I am not a proponent of more highways and roads however; there is a congestion problem to the Niagara Region that needs to be addressed. Any mid-peninsula proposal needs to be combined with a plan to manage and protect green belt agricultural lands. |
