There is room. IMO the Lancaster exits should be closed after the new Highway 7 is built, that is a major reason the backup happens going southbound on 85, the on-ramps from Bridgeport are too small and therefore quite the back-up ensues. I know the Lancaster exits are useful for people in that neighbourhood, but there has to be another solution.
IIRC, the MTO decided not to widen the expressway in Waterloo because they were waiting to see the outcome of LRT and whether it would reduce the traffic demand.
