...as a "good" way to get across the top of Toronto while sticking as close to the south of Lake Simcoe as possible?
I used quotes around the word good as it is obviously open to interpretation and given the sprawl of the GTA is going to be relative.
Looking at the map, it always looks tempting - but we've tried it once and ended up in some crazy traffic, which I get is par for the course but I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a "secret" route that might avoid some of the traffic and suburban madness.
It would be so easy if they built a bridge over Cook's Bay and extended Hwy 89 all the way across. Yeah, right.
Located in Cambridge/KW area, when we head for the Kawartha Lakes area and parts further east, we head north and go across the top of the lake at Orillia.
It would be nice to have the option of going south as per the above.
Probably a stupid question but I had to ask to know for sure.
Oh, and I know that the 407 is an option as well...just looking to avoid slab where possible.
It's great if you need to get across quick(ish), but normally we're happy to avoid.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
