I don't see any significant changes in terms of design and capacity on the central section of the 417. There is no room to expand it, and traffic has been growing at a minimal rate, as opposed to the suburban sections.
Improved lighting and sidewalks on streets under the 417 I think would help, along with perhaps more greenery (i.e. more/taller trees).

Oh yeah, I'm indifferent to trenching or not, but wouldn't really want it expanded at all anywhere near downtown.
