I expect there will be some pressures for traffic calming in Mount Hope in the future, but the streets there aren't exactly freeways so I don't think anything very radical would likely be proposed. I share your opinion that it's becoming a very family-oriented neighbourhood.
Nor I. I assume everyone wants safe streets. In the case of Mt Hope, even with the current diversions, it's a pretty low-traffic neighbourhood and parts of it are quiet as the tomb () . I do wonder what the future holds for Wellington, which could become quite high traffic once the new Hwy 7 is complete, unless plans are in place to keep that traffic off Wellington east of Weber.
The new Highway 7 won't connect directly with Wellington, but with Bingeman's Centre Drive (same street) pretty far east of the planned connections with Bruce and Edna. I don't think you'll see any major increase of traffic on Wellington between Lancaster and King, any remaining traffic would be encouraged onto Victoria by the time you reach Lancaster given the low speeds and frequent stop signs on Wellington.
