It will unnecessarily push volume to the Farmer's Market exit. I wonder how discussions went between the Province (for Highway), the Region (for Northfield) and the City and Township went for dramatically changing the driving patterns around this interchange. Let's hope that the left hand spoke to the right hand which spoke to the other two hands.
Clearly not entirely as the Province just repaved Northfield Drive over the Highway 85 bridge this fall as part of the current project to rehabilitate Highway 85 through Waterloo. This will all have to be torn up in about a years time for the LRT. Little multi-level government/inter-department coordination details like this matter and it is such a waste at the end of the day.
