Not sure how they are going to pull that without push way far west so that either the new road can go under an elevated SGEC or that the new road can cross above SGEC. Either way, there's also an intersecting aircraft approach to deal with.
Also, there's some vague promise of a grade separated pedestrian crossing down at Ken Steeles park (where there's no no current cross and no real desire line), but not at la Cite where there is actually a lot of crossing pedestrian and cycling traffic.
Finally, traffic on the 417 between the split and downtown should be really fun for everyone once this opens - there's a lot of different things dumping all together in the same spot (plus toss in Tewin and a few 10 of thousands of new units in Orleans south.) We might finally get big city traffic jambs.
