General Road and Highway Discussion

Adding an extra lane would require relocating Kingsway and rebuilding the freshly rebuilt Franklin overpass..  I was thinking adding an additional left lane to the on-ramp to replace the right lane from King, everything else remaining the same.

D’oh! I wasn’t thinking about the overpass. A slight relocation of Kingsway probably wouldn’t be too bad, but extending the overpass probably moves it into the realm of being infeasible.

Even without maintaining 5 lanes through the area, I think your idea has merit. King St. can’t provide more than one lane’s worth of traffic volume anyway.
