Great vid, thanks.

I always thought St.Thomas had the weirdest downtown in Ontario. It one very long strip but with no real core..............very pedestrian unfriendly as it takes forever to walk from what part to the other with gaps in between.

St. Thomas has one of the strangest freeways (sometimes called a Super-two roadbed) in Canada. Single lane, with limited access, overpasses, etc.

Quote:
The St. Thomas expressway was built along the northern edge of that city beginning in 1974.[46] It features six overpasses and a single interchange, at First Avenue. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on September 7, 1981 to officially open the new route, which bypassed the former Highway 3 alignment along Talbot Street and the short concurrency with Highway 4 (Sunset Drive). The bypass cost C$16.5 million to construct, and features a two-lane roadway with allotted space on the north side for a second two-lane roadway.[31] Plans originally called for the expressway to extend further east to New Sarum and later even as far as Aylmer,[47][48] but these have never materialized.[4]
