MPP Arnott, municipal officials and MTO
staff tour Highway 6 to highlight needed road work

Municipal officials and staff from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) joined Waterloo-Wellington MPP Ted Arnott for a road tour of Highway 6 on October 22nd, for the purpose of convincing the Government to proceed with badly needed repairs on the road from Fergus to Mount Forest.

“I thank our municipal representatives for being involved and taking a stand for road repair in Waterloo-Wellington. We need to continue to work together in support of the Waterloo-Wellington Transportation Action Plan,” said Mr. Arnott.

“I also want to thank the MTO’s Southwestern Region staff: Kevin Bentley, Jennifer Graham Harkness, and Paul Santos for their ongoing support as we work to have our projects prioritized,” he added.

Local officials along for the tour and meeting afterwards included Wellington County Engineer Gord Ough, County Councillor Carl Hall, Mayor Russ Spicer of the Township of Centre Wellington and Mayor Mike Broomhead of the Township of Wellington North.

The Waterloo-Wellington Transportation Action Plan was developed by Mr. Arnott in partnership with the riding’s eleven municipalities who provided him with their top transportation priorities for the next five years and beyond. Highway 6 has been at the forefront of his statements and questions in the Ontario Legislature.

“I intend to continue to raise the need for these projects at Queen’s Park,” said Mr. Arnott.
