One thing I noticed from the Integrated Transportation System map (Map 11):
They show the new Highway 7 protruding directly from the existing interchange (previous layouts showed a configuration of flyover ramps). Shirley Ave has been re-aligned to accommodate the change.
This updated layout would certainly be much less expensive to implement, but would also be less efficient at moving traffic.
As the new Grand River bridge designs are revealed, maybe we'll see more info on this alignment.
