Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[panamaniac]

Buses use highways too. The induced demand remains a drain on transit demand, but this also benefits enabling Victoria St. to perhaps growth back towards a part of the city than a commuter car sewer over the next couple decades.

I honestly believe that we will never see Victoria shrunk from 4/5 to 2 lanes without an alternative route to get towards Guelph. I'd love to see a third LRT line go east-west along Victoria from the proposed Breslau GO station all the way out to the Boardwalk, but you know people will kick their feet and yell about it taking lanes away from cars if there's not another option. I don't love the idea that we'll be cutting through the greenspace near Bingemans, but I don't think we'll be able to get approval for a truly innovative transit change on this stretch without it.

Has it ever been proposed?  I find it hard to imagine.  It's not that many years ago that the fight on Victoria S.  was widening to 4 lanes vs 3 lanes.
