Exactly. I think that the Innovation Industrial Park as it's called will be huge for the city, and at the very least it should have some 401 frontage between the West side of VMP and Old Victoria Road.
Other areas included in the current Urban Growth Boundry that can still be developed along the 401:
-between where the 402 joins and Wellington Rd (could be serviced by Dingman Drive).
-the northeast corner of Highbury and Bradley (this is prime industrial land that is begging to be developed!)
-the southeast corner or VMP and Bradley (there are currently no plans to develop it along with the Innovation Industrial Park)
By simply developing these areas
within our current Urban Growth boundry, it would make the city appear larger. Unfortunately the 402 is another matter! It's just in that situation where it's sort of close, but sort of far from the edge of the city, and when driving along it, there is vurtually no evidence of a city being nearby.
