I agree......when the QEW gets backed up (and it gets backed up often) all the idiots that moved to Grimsby and work in Mississauga will try to drive through the neighborhoods to 'beat' the traffic on the way to the lift bridge. Last summer the skyway had reduced lanes, and the lift bridge was down to one lane each way. Things were a quagmire from Maple to Appleby - Lakeshore/New/Fairview all jammed packed including all the side streets. One time I was out on my bike and and was stuck at New and Guelph Line and it was a hot one out. Decided WTF and drove through the Rotary Youth Center parking lot and across the trail in central Park out by the Library and on to Caroline and then home.
East/west thru that area is always a bummer - other than the QEW, there are few options to relieve traffic. They should ditch the service roads and turn them into part of the highway.
Want it done? Pitch in and buy Doug Ford a lakefront house near Lakeshore rd & Guelph line. He hates traffic.
FWIW, two local sales in west Toronto both ~ 60 years old but done up to sell.
One with a pool listed at $1.685 M sold for $1.630 M.
The other was what I would call a front split, two story on the street side and one story facing the back yard. Listed and sold for $1.488 M in two days. I suspect some set up deal. That one last sold 13 years ago for $736 K against a $749 K listing, basically double.
Nephew bought starter house in KW at eight hundred , three yrs later needs to renew mortgage , valuation now seven hundred . Bank no likey , but they don’t want to be home owners just financers . Many back and forths and they renew but there was no leverage on rate , it was take our offer or beat it .

That’s a great outcome, during past housing prices contractions, banks demanded equity top ups before renewals. If you coundnt do that, there hook you up with a high risk lender - basically a loan shark.
If you have the cash flow and your 3Cs are healthy, banks will go surprisingly deep on renewals today.

One way to relieve the traffic congestion in Burlington once the Skyway gets backed up is simply close the Niagara bound QEW on-ramps on Fairview by Mapleview Mall and on Lakeshore Rd by the hospital and add signage on QEW at Burloak stating there is no way to get back on QEW Niagara if one gets off at Appleby/Walkers/Guelph Ln.
