At the time I was working in Cambridge and Mohawk was still the quickest route. Move back to Kitchener in 1995, so happy with our expressway -- but I still miss the 1 way roads down the mountain.
Dundas, though, that was a good place to live. Still is, pretty much it's still the same. Winona is also nice - especially the microclimate that they have (little snow).
I can honestly say that the one-way streets were a lot of the reason why we worked so earnestly to get back to KW. We couldn't imagine kids walking along Main Street. We liked our neighbourhood a lot, and see a lot of similarities between it and our neighbourhood in Kitchener, but there was a certain feeling of being trapped by those terrible multi-lane arterials with traffic roaring down them.
I've known people who live and garden in Winona. I do miss the relatively balmy weather in the lower city.
Anyway, sorry to everyone else for getting so off-topic. There are big differences between Hamilton and Waterloo Region, and I am pretty hopeful about Phase 2's chances.
