407 extension
The extension for the 407 will open on Monday, but today (Saturday), they had an open house so to speak where you could walk, ride your bike/stroller/wheel chair/roller blade etc, along the road.
They opened up two kilometres in Whitby for three hours.
Access was from the south-east corner of Roybrook Avenue and Baldwin Street South. Highway 407 was open between Baldwin Street and Anderson Road.
There were three parking lots where you could get a shuttle bus from and then they would take you on to the opened section of the road.
There were games (mini golf, face painting, basket ball, and connect four as well on the side of the road.
It was a beautifully HOT day, so they also had water bottles to hand out.
We walked and used scooters along the road, and used chalk to write our names on the road to commemorate the day.
I really hope the kids remember this and tell the tale later in life.
