The stoplights are only needed because the entrance to the park is there. If not for the park, VMP would just merge onto Clarke and they would add a left turn lane on southbound Clarke for people to go on VMP south. The stoplights do nothing to prevent VMP from being closer to a freeway, it's the lack of overpasses. What this is in effect doing is ending Clarke at this new intersection and VMP will be the through road. I actually think that down the road when the widening happens on Clarke (and presumably VMP is as well down to Oxford) that Clarke will be renamed VMP from Fanshawe Park Rd to the south.
People coming out of the park will be happy with this as it's a royal pain to make that left now. People used to going north on Clarke from south of Huron aren't going to like this at all though, and there is a lot of traffic from that way.
