A new 400 series highway that is set to further link the Toronto area is getting pushback from municipalities who feel that the development's consequences will vastly outweight its public benefit.
Mississauga Council unanimously approved a new motion this week that officially puts the city in "strong opposition" to the forthcoming Highway 413, also known as the GTA West Highway, which is slated to run through Halton, Peel and York regions, connecting with Highways 407, 401, 410 and 400 along the way.
It will span approximately 50 km from the edge of Mississauga to Vaughan at a cost of $6 billion, and is expected to eventually see 300,000 motorists per day within 10 years.
