Honestly, I think the part that needs to be upgraded the most is the section with a speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour and numerous intersections; this, as my previous post stated, rougly correlates with the part that runs from Oxford to Trafalgar. Having another freeway stub on the city's south end will do us no good. The southern portion of the VMP is already fairly safe and is not prone to congestion. The city needs to prioritize.

Silly Pimpmasterdac, you should know by now that the city always avoids any remotely controversial moves. Expropriation would put them in a slightly uncomfortable position, and they don't want that. But agreed, that Railway Crossing needs to be turned into an overpass when they twin the two-laned section.
