I can try that.
I think your read is that you will get pressure, lobbying, or influencing coming from the local level depending on the degree to which that particular locality sees the pressing need. In a place like Niagara where the economy's been in transition, it's a stronger urgency. Now you have to layer that on to whether that's what your neighbouring municipalities want to accomplish. At the same time, how does it fit in potentially with a larger strategy?
Having been involved in the environmental assessment process for the mid-peninsula transportation corridor, I think that one of the things that needs to be wrestled to the ground very quickly is delineating the movement of people and the movement of goods, because if we do that, then I think our options become clearer: while it's a road, maybe it's a road and rail after an emphasis on ways that help to make that separation better and more effective.
