Hwy. 403 delay another of many broken promises says Mayor From the 1970‘s through today, Mulvale explained, all three political parties have waffled on their commitâ€" ments to funding for roads â€" placing Oakville in the awkward position of coping with growth without the benefit of the traffic system to handle it. Even more awkward is facing taxâ€" payers with a "shoot the messenger" mentality and trying to explain to their satisfaction how the province continualâ€" In a recent interview, Ann Mulvale voiced her disappointment regarding the announcement that the missing link of highway through Oakville and Burlington has been postponed to early next century. Given the track record of Queens Park over the past decade, howâ€" ever, Mulvale said the setback comes as no surprise. . "The 403 is a symptom of that lack of credibility," said Mulvale, adding as an example that the Upper Middle Road bridge and phase one of River Oaks should have been finished simultaneâ€" ously.

The $235 million construction proâ€" cess to connect Hwy. 403 in west Burlington to the section on the Oakvilleâ€"Mississauga border has been underway for nearly 10 years. Planned for completion by 1998, the 403 has been eagerly awaited as a pressure valve for traffic congestion along the QEW, Hwy. 5 and access routes north and south. All the NDP has done, said the mayor, is return the Hwy. 403 project to its original timeâ€"line set out by the previous Liberal government. The quesâ€" tion that worries her, though, is where will all the traffic go when growth ly leaves Oakville holding the bag. As a result, Mulvale said she and her Counâ€" terparts in other municipalities will be working hard to educate constituents about the realities of the complex relaâ€" tionship with the province. She also said it will be up to them to set the agenda for all three parties before the next elecâ€" tion in order to bring about "substanâ€" tive" improvements to the system.
