Issues of course would be ennvironmental going north across the river, which also leaves city territory. Which could be resolved with moving the city boundary about a mile west, north of the river. Not to mention that Westdel is rapidly being developed, and I think anything similar to VMP is out of the question now.
I can't see any other possible corridor in the west end. I don't see any way to run Hyde Park south to Colonel Talbot, for example, which is one suggestion I have seen online previously. Probably by people who don't look at maps. Maybe we can take over the Hunt Club, connect Colonel Talbot to Boler diagonally northwest from Pack Rd, and join up to Gainsborough lol

I remember reading (this must have been years ago) that the city designated land as a transportation corridor approximately halfway between Westdel Bourne and Woodhull Road for a VMP-like roadway (possibly a 4 lane freeway).
Does anyone know if the city still has this land designated or if the plans have since been long gone?
