"It's actually much worse than you think it is because you don't really see it from the side of the road when you're in the car," Fernandes told CBC News. "There was so much garbage on the 401, including bottles of urine thrown from truck windows."
"But we needed the OPP [Ontario Provincial Police] to give us some police protection because you can't just park on the side of the 401 and clean up," Fernandes explained.
"Nobody at the MTO is really helping us in terms of giving us a letter to give to the OPP to give us coverage," he said. "An email that we sent [at the] end of summer last year to the MTO got a response in January of this year. So, it took about six months for them to respond."
