A Private Member’s Bill has been introduced at Queen’s Park to improve Northern highways.
NDP MPP Guy Bourgouin publicly announced yesterday that he is introducing a Private Member’s Bill to improve maintenance standards and make winter driving safer on Northern Ontario’s main Highways 11 and 17.
He says too many Northern Ontarians have lost their lives or suffered life-altering injuries driving on poorly-maintained routes in the winter and with the bill, they can save lives in Northern Ontario by making highways safer for drivers.
He was joined by representatives from northern communities and businesses who said improving winter road maintenance in Northern Ontario is urgently needed.
