Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[Viewfromthe42]

What's important is to make sure sprawl doesn't handicap a region. The decisions about roads in many cities make public transit a nightmare to plan and implement, often because we try to give to those who drive everywhere a home that is impenetrable and unusable to all but their cars. Crescents, Courts, and winding roads are all great easy ways to drive the first nail in the coffin of non-car options when you start to "sprawl." Growing into new areas doesn't necessitate making these choices, but we seemingly spend orders of magnitude more time debating what the exterior of a single lot looks like when it's downtown, compared to the city-shaping effects of entire new subdivisions.
