No, it isn't a limited access highway by any stretch. It's a regular city street, albeit well travelled, probably with four lanes, two in either direction, as I recall.
You are correct in that the river is a much more natural boundary. Actually, the previous proposals of the commission didn't take any account of the river, even going up the east side of Kitchener, so I was pleased that they went down the river as far as they did. The real problem, however, is that the existing Cambridge riding is so large that when you look at the overall population of the Waterloo region, it would be difficult not to cross the river a little bit.
I'm not trying to suggest that we could avoid crossing the river altogether. I'm just saying let's put the undeveloped land, which is being developed, into Kitchener South, because it's new and without previous historical identification.
