THE NEXT TIME A MAJOR CRASH CLOSES THE 401, KINGSTON MOTORISTS WILL BE BETTER INFORMED.

... OR AT LEAST THAT'S THE HOPE FOLLOWING A MEETING BETWEEN CITY OFFICIALS AND THE M-T-O.

THE SIDES AGREED THAT CHANGES TO EMERGENCY ROUTES ARE NOT NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

THE DECISION COMES AFTER TWO SEPARATE CRASHES CLOSED THE 401 EARLIER THIS MONTH -- FORCING MOTORISTS TO BE RE-ROUTED THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN CORE.

TRAFFIC OFFICIALS HAVE AGREED TO CREATE BETTER LINES OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MULTIPLE AGENCIES.
