Edit: or was it Belmont and Homer Watson that were supposed to connect? I know there was supposed to be some sort of reconfiguration of roads west of DTK, but it's hard to comprehend what they intended.
Belmont and Homer Watson, I think. It would be a pretty straight line through Lakeside Park, though I personally hope they never connect it because doing so would impact the park. I regularly travel between my place (Alpine and Homer Watson) and my parents' place in Uptown Waterloo (near Avondale and William) over the nearly 16 years I've been in this house and a straight shot up Belmont would be a nice, but Westmount is a much better road for that purpose when driving and the trails through Lakeside Park are really nice when cycling.
I don't think they ever will, those projects have been cancelled, the park is now an environmental area. Of course the fight is to now narrow the ridiculously overbuilt roads.
