Road design, transportation and walkability

[danbrotherston]

Am I remembering correctly that Trussler is supposed to get a 401 interchange at some time in the future?

That actually makes sense for access to the west side of the city from the west. But Trussler should remain 2 lanes indefinitely. If it is to be upgraded, it should be to add parallel fully separated active transportation routes while protecting for a fully separate transit right of way.

To be fair they plan the standard mediocre MUTs along this section, crossing dangerous highway slip ramps and in no way changing the sprawling suburban car dependent policy.

As for a Trussler interchange on the 401, I have no idea, but that’s a provincial project that’s a about 15 km away, I don’t see it having meaningful impact here even if the countryside line was expanded.
