Petition to Keep Ontario’s Hwy 412 a Non-Toll Route Gains Steam

DurhamRegion.com reports that southern Ontario motorists got some relief when the province opened a Highway 407 extension and a new Highway 412 in June, both of which will remain toll-free until the end of 2016. “Now,” the website reports, “with 2017 fast approaching, residents are worried about the impact the new tolls — specifically on Hwy. 412 — will have on local traffic. ‘Keep Ontario highway 412 as a non-toll route’ is a petition posted on Change.org with more than 3,000 supporters.”
