I now see an opportunity to move beyond dedicated lanes and find solutions for all modes of transportation. If putting Adelaide under the CP tracks is $60M could we put Wharncliffe under Oxford for $80M?? What about other bad chokepoint intersections (Wellington/Commissioners with a big park and ride bus terminal, other ideas anyone?). We now have an opportunity to think outside box and really come up with effective all-mode solutions!!!

I know the perfect location for the park 'n ride lot: the southeast corner of the land on which Parkwood Hospital sits. There is a ton of vacant land there.
If we could just get CN/CP to move their freight lines south of London (I know, ain't happening) there'd be no need to build a railway underpass on Adelaide. There's $60 million that could be invested in improving the LTC or fixing other chokepoints.
Putting Wharncliffe under Oxford is a great idea in principle, but how would cars heading southbound or northbound on Wharncliffe turn on to Oxford?
