Quote:Planned improvements — the extension of the LRT through Sportsworld to Cambridge, and an on-ramp to westbound Highway 401 from Highway 8 that would eliminate the need to use King Street to get to the highway — will significantly change traffic patterns in the area, Stevenson noted.Did I miss this? I didn't know there was any ramp officially planned for the area. If so, I feel like that's a pretty big deal.
It's been in the planning stage for what seems like forever. This reddit link (401/8 interchange) has a image from one of the government documents that mentions it but I don't remember which one it is in. I think the current grand river bridge widening has something to do with it but I don't recall.
