Hwy 420 a no-go

February 17, 2016

To the Editor,

Regarding Wollaston council’s enthusiasm to participate in Ontario’s Electric Vehicle Charger Program and Wollaston Councillor Michael Fuerth’s solution to rename Highway 620 to 420 so it’s a 400 series highway, this solution is a no-go since a Highway 420 exists in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
