It makes a project much more hugely complex when there's no future planning done since you have to expropriate and demolish.

Reserving corridor space is very smart. The AB government did that decades ago for Edmonton and Calgary which has avoided a lot of hassles when building the 216 and 201, respectively. Unfortunately for Calgary, this wasn't possible everywhere as we have a First Nation that borders the S.W. edge of the City. After decades a deal was worked out but it came at a huge financial cost. Hopefully the end result is win-win for everyone.
