Road design, transportation and walkability

As for a Trussler interchange on the 401, I have no idea, but that’s a provincial project that’s a about 15 km away, I don’t see it having meaningful impact here even if the countryside line was expanded.

If I recall correctly, the Region of Waterloo was pushing the province for a 401 interchange, however 1/2 of that interchange belongs in Oxford or Brant county, who have no desire to pay a share of the costs.

Interesting. I would say that this could be done on the cheap. First, the ramps pointing to the east aren’t needed at all — just use the Cedar Creek Rd. interchange. Next, the westbound on ramp can just continue straight south from the intersection of Trussler and Township Rd. 11 and curve onto the highway. The eastbound off ramp can just branch off before the bridge and end at a right angle with Trussler road. No new bridges, very little construction.

Still, even this minimal version is probably a multi-million dollar project.
