Looks like we need more development on one side of an arterial and fields on the other. It's the newest wave of urban planning, we shall call it the "Forest City Movement".

There suppose to be double turn lanes westbound on Sarnia & Wonderland whenever it gets widened.,, Same with Hyde Park north and southbound on Oxford.

City should probably look into that for Wonderland at Oxford, Commissioners, and Southdale as well. Wellington & Commissioners south on Wellington could use that too.

Again a lot of these improvements are suppose to happen when the city widens these roads, sometime in the next 20 years that this rate

I think Hamilton and Highbury needs something for the left turn on Southbound Highbury... I dunno how many times I've almost been t-boned, and I have a quick car, so some old lady is bound to get smacked hard...

Stimulus money meant they could build it straight. There's room for 2 tracks underneath as well.

This project wasn't supposed to get started until 2015+ but "Canada's Economic Action Plan" got shovels in the ground earlier.

Bridge will be nice, long over due could have been used decades ago.

Part that;s stupid is when the bridge will be 4-lanes, Sarnia still isn't being widened either east or west of the bridge. More poor London planning!

I think they're actually planning ahead by including a 4-lane bridge now and then upgrading the rest once the money is available (probably in conjunction with the complete 4-laning of Sarnia Road from Western to Hyde Park). Right now just consider the bridge a short stretch that can be used to pass trucks.

Nah, bet the bridge will be like the Oxford Street West bridge. 2 lanes right now, plenty of room for 4 when needed (which might be in a few years)...

The bridge is supposed to open next month. Judging from these recent photos, I doubt it will be finished by then.

As I recall the start of the construction was delayed by inclement weather. Remember how much rain we got in May?

This bridge will be worth the wait.

We may have to live without Sarnia Road for the winter. It'll be just like the old days when the concessions were made impassable and isolated London from the outside world.

On that note, what the hell is going on with the Bridge at Perth Drive and Windermere? It's been well over a month since they switched sides (first refurbish one side, then the other) and it doesn't look anywhere close to completion.

Wal-Fart owns the land on the southeast corner of Wonderland and Exeter.

Sadly, the work going on is for more residential development, not an extention of Bradley. Don't expect that any time soon.
