Local politicians are expressing their disappointment the extension of fourlaning of a vital roadway up the Valley has been left out of a new provincial funding plan. The next two phases of Highway 417 construction from Scheel Drive to the Town of Renfrew are not included in the Ministry of Transportation’s newlyreleased five-year capital plan. Renfrew-Nippissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski said he is both disappointed and frustrated with the decision. “This is a top priority for us in Renfrew County and I want to make sure we keep pushing it forward,” said Yakabuski. Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon also expressed his disappointment in a news release from the county, which has been strongly lobbying to have the fourlaning continue soon after phase two out of Arnprior is complete in the next month or two. “We are obviously very disappointed by this decision. The County of Renfrew remains strongly committed to this project as it will transform the regions along the important trade route across the north of the province from Sudbury to Ottawa,” said Emon.
