It seems like the clearest "losers" are the residents of the Westmount subdivision who are losing right-turn access to their neighbourhood from Bayers Road. I can understand why they'd be upset.

Thanks for the info. As mentioned, it's not a commuting route that I would use, so just going off others' (well, Keith's) comments that it will cause a bottleneck. I suspect that a lot of traffic to/from the 102 is handled by Connaught, thus lowering the significance of the upper part of Bayers Road for traffic volume.
Looking at it on Google Maps, I am reminded that the inbound lane to the northeast of Connaught is already only one lane... so my comment was much ado about nothing, actually.
