Also what did you mean by taming 17 (as a motorcyclist)?
Ps: I used to have this idea - Twin 11 between Nipigon and North Bay (with a branch off to Timmins) because the future all-season road to James Bay will start at either Hearst or Smooth Rock Falls. (Speaking of that, will Ring of Fire intersect 11 anyhow?) As for the 17 corridor between SSM and North Bay, revive the northland passenger trains! Costs will be a joke though...

Yes, twin Highway 11 between Nipigon and North Bay.
Highway 17 between SSM and Wawa is one of the nicest rides on a motorcycle. It has nice pavement, great vistas, and the curves and hills are made for riding. Ultimately, if it were twinned, many of these sections would straightened and made flatter. That is a horrible idea.
It sounds like the RofF will connect somewhere around Geralton.
Now, don't get me started on The Northlander or other passenger rail. I will go off on such a tangent that 20 pages later, you will not remember what this thread was supposed to be about.
