Whilst not an entire highway and for personal use reasons, I would like to see a ramp on/off of 401 East straight onto hwy 8 (rather than getting off King and driving to get back onto 8 :\
I think it's a business decision on top of traffic issues; by having a freeway between Kitchener and Guelph, it moves commerce more quickly and is good for business. You can expect to see a lot of growth between Kitchener and Guelph, and I imagine by the time we're in an old age homes, the cities will be seen as one by outsiders.
As for the 401W-London/Highway 8, I imagine this will be done within the next 10-15 years.
While I think you're right, it's absurd, I thought we were past the days of spurring sprawling unsustainable development through highway building...
Bah, who am I kidding, I know we're not past it, but it still makes me sad....
