Intensification. We'll see some new investments along the routes planned for BRT like Wellington & Bradley redevelopment, and Dundas East is getting a shot in the arm with the reconstruction, BRT east of Ontario, and all that new development in and around the Kellog factory.
As for Wharncliffe south, it could also benefit from this kind of investment. There is a plan in place to improve the roadway a bit (a little narrow so can't do much without taking out a lane or destroying properties) and of course the CN overpass rebuild will help. It may operate semi-ok if the 4 lane road was converted to a 3 lanes (one each way + a centre turn lane), bike lanes and wider sidewalks.
As this city becomes denser and denser, little infill developments will help make previously neglected areas more important as there are things that can be improved.
London's stayed very much the same until around 2020. By 2025 this city will feel like a very different place.
