25 Sportsworld Crossing & 4220 King Street East | 18+14 fl | U/C
#27
I'm inclined to agree that this will make traffic in an already bad stretch worse. The problem is not the development bringing more traffic though, it's the roads. King street should be dug up and completely reimagined through this stretch. Theres got to be 5 stoplights in less than 1km with some lights that run on timers regardless of what the traffic is like.

It's an urban planning nightmare, unfriendly to pedestrians and cyclists, with poorly designed roads and no West bound 401 access from the highway further contesting the stretch.

The solution here is to actually add access to and from the 401 in both directions from the king street bypass, reconstruct kind street to facilitate pedestrians and cyclists, and replace everything but the light at sportsworld and king with roundabouts.
