Hwy.407 as a Gary Herrema bas been reported as being in favour of 407 and constructed and operated by private enterprise. Herremna said the road could be built by the private sector and link Mississauga with Durham Region within a five year period. Herremna states that a consortium of Ontario road builders and paving companies have offered to build the road in return for thie right to charge for its use. He says the plan has support from York, Peel and Durham Regions. 1Such a Plan was proposed some months ago but the province ,was awaiting plans from the federal government providing funds for road building te o ost employment in Canada. But when the announicement camne Ontario was left out of the planneil funds, some $500 million. The funds were schedued for other provinces. As funds wil not be available frere the federal government Herrema bias said an other alternative would have to found for funding. Work bas begun on 401 in the west with some interchanges notably at Highway 400 and a Toit Road right-a'way in the Towvn of Vaughani. H4errem-a said he doesn't know when-- the pýrovince would have funds to have 407 Iink w,,ith 403 in the west with highway 115, in the east. He said he was encouraged wheni the provincial transport minister recently announced t hat 1-e province is willing to consider tolîs on seme roads and bridges. Herremna said the neeýd for 407 is there and speaks of the waste of time on a crowded 401 going in.to Metro. The toil plan has support from the Canadian Automoctive Association as well as the Trucking Association, Gilles Pouliot, Minister of Transport bias been reported to state that 407 would be an ideal place to institute tolîs.
