Assuming that we leave the section through CFB as is, I wonder if anyone entertains the idea of turning Oromocto and Geary into bedroom communities of Fredericton, and Welsford into that of SJ.

I don't quite get this. Having to travel ~55 km on a two lane road with not a lot of traffic prevents you from going to SJ?

Good question. On paper I might not like it, but in practice I might be okay, as long as there are no slow cars in front me preventing me from doing 120 km/h.
That’s just me though. Not every ontarian driver is like this. JHikka can confirm (the last half).
I was planning to check out SJ too the 2nd time I drove to Halifax, but then due to time and budget constraint, my friend who was travelling with me cut it out. We didn’t bother with P.E.I. either (though I already went the first time I checked out Atlantic Canada).
