Wow, thanks to everyone for the replies! I just wanted a quick update on things...
For the record, I believe the 'yellow route' is the one originally proposed. Skirts the gravel pit, connects well with local roads, avoids other troublesome properties.

It would be a nice option for pedestrians and cyclists as Victoria isn't really a pleasant option. Things might improve on Victoria, though, when the new Hwy 7 is constructed.

That bridge is in the "beyond 20 year time horizon" category of the transporation master plan:

Thanks for getting link, since the document was released in 2011 does that mean that there could conceivably be shovels in the ground by 2031 for the Ottawa St extension. I am somewhat surprised by how far into the future this project lies, but there was a large gap between the previous Grand River crossings and the Fairway Rd bridge.
