Wagner stated that when the original estimates for $22 million were presented both com- munities could afford to finance it, now that it has risen almost double. and future prospects im dicated that this figure would be higher, then neither community could afford the severe high costs. He then presented a suggestion that the western link of the ex- pressway (to the Stratford high- way) could be deferred because it would not be needed tihl at least 1981. This alone would give a saving of some $10,000,000, he stated.

Name signs on the expressway came up when it was noted that both municipalities had agreed on the name Conestoga Parkway as the loca xpressvw‘ay designa- tion. Mr. Gr wood stated that the depts does not condone the naming of highways because each municipality might want to name their particular section. With just a number, everyone clear across the province knows just what highway he is on. He told them that the department of highways would agree to the name recommended and would also agree to the erection of name designation signs, but would not pay any costs incurred. The municipalities would have to bear the costs of the signs (approxi- mately $2,000 each) and the costs of maintenance. Even though there would be five name signs located in Kitchener and only one in Waterloo, the expense would be charged on a per capita basis, he stated, because that is the method agreed on for expressway Until the expressway is com- pm.he said, itslgougld be re ferred to as the KAY Express- way.
