You can also see on the northwest corner of the future interchange that they protected areas significantly for future ramps. That's why houses don't back onto the highway by 216 Street the same way as 208 Street.
I used to live really close to Walnut Grove Drive and 88 Avenue, but in the last month, packed up and moved back to Ontario. Was extremely excited for the interchange to go in, and I'm sure the outcry from resident's wasn't strong enough to change anything since it's in the township and ministries plans and always has been for the last decade or two at least. Residents upset should have done their due diligence.

Every streetlight from 96th up to 88th have parking signs that read "Temp Parking Area Future Travel Lane" and these signs have been there for years. They can be seen from google streetview.
IMO if you live that close to a freeway as that you should expect that there will be upgrades to it. Trying to have the project scrapped has no benefit to the majority. Work with the MOTI to have issues addressed and help benefit you area. Anyone who has lived in the Walnut Grove/Yorkson/Fort Langley area in the past 10 years has seen the area spread east and it was just a matter of time before this was to happen.
