Dumb.

Yet another painfully stupid move by the city, I do not understand why 10+ years ago that was not put into motion. I live in Riverbend currently and have family in Kilworth and Komoka and they have been saying the same thing for well over 10 years.
The city had an opportunity as they have had many times to plan proper roads but they always wait until it is to late and then apply band-aid fixes.
Why Westdel Bourne was ever approved to have massive houses built at baseline and north is a mystery to me (yes I understand a few of those houses are older). With Westdel already connecting to Oxford/Baseline/Southdale/Longwoods and could have then easily connected to the 402 and 401 it was literally a perfect scenario to move traffic North/South on the west side of the city. Westdel should have been a 4 lane expressway, linking many major roads with the foresight to know the city was growing in that direction.
