Lancaster would have to be an overpass. I've thought about it as I drive through the intersection every day, and there's no conceivable way they'd be able to make it an underpass without significantly lowering the entire Victoria / Lancaster intersection as well.
I would Love for Duke to get an underpass, but I don't see it happening. There's nowhere near enough traffic to support it, and the space would be extremely tight (unless the newer shops on the East would be torn down.
The park one is puzzling. I think it needs SOMETHING, but I don't know what you'd be ale to do here. Both an underpass and an overpass would make the entire row of home here completely inaccessible , I'm not sure what could be done.
Now, what I REALLY want to see is something at the rail crossing on Victoria, near Walnut. I strongly dislike that crossing, and it also crosses what I'm sure is the most-used East-West route in the entire city (Victoria St). But really, I would prefer to see all of Victoria brought up to 2 lanes as well, instead of tapering to that terrible pinch point between Walnut and Lawrence that it does now. Traffic is always so rough there. And in the inevitable Ion Phase 3 that will run through here (it's the most voted for Phase 3 route in every unofficial poll), something would have to be done to solve the at-grade rail crossing.
