*sigh*...so much "Prime agricultural land" still within the boundary.
I suspect that despite the plans, the space between Guelph and KW will still go. There's going to be pushback against such policies of course, and even if they are eventually locked down, the enormous investment the highway represents is likely to going to make economic concerns overriding in that area. It's the same reason I would strongly oppose any highway through the greenbelt. No matter how strong the protections are, money is incredibly powerful, and when the government has such substantial investments in infrastructure, it's very easy to let the line move a little bit.

How many interchanges are planned for the new highway between the Region's countryside line and it's Guelph equivalent (if there is one)?

Elmira Road is Guelph's urban growth boundary, so I guess that interchange is within the boundary- just. Likewise for Shantz Station- is it just outside or just inside our boundary?

Has there ever been a case of the OMB overturning municipal approval of rezoning for a place of worship in favour of a community group opposing the project? I'd be very surprised if there were.

At Ira Needles/Highland, apartment 1 is on the second story, apartment 2 is working on the basement, and columns for what looks to be a parking structure are starting to appear close to the existing stacked townhouses.

Apparently the City of Waterloo will be redoing Conservation Drive between Beaver Creek and Erbsville next year in advance of this development. Long overdo, that section of Conservation is a hellscape.
