Once again Hamilton politicians are trying to figure out how to alleviate highway congestion through their region.
Member of the public works committee hearing, there is no sense spending money to widen local artieries, unless the province agrees to widen the 403 and QEW.
Traffic experts telling councillors, widening the Red Hill Expressway and the Linc to six lanes will only create bottlenecks where the roadways connect to the provincially run highways.
Committee members voting instead to petition the province to move to widen the two highways.
Three years ago the city asked the province to consider adding lanes to the 403 and QEW as an alternative to building a mid peninsula corridor.
