Now that the rebuild of York Blvd. is basically done, is it going to make the QEW redundant for getting to Burlington?

If you are coming off Hwy 6, Burlington or Aldershot will be faster than Hamilton or Comfederation. Goimg west to Hamilton Station will be faster than Confederation. Otherwise I have no clue where X is coming from to say York is faster than the QEW.

I think Milaisacat was making a joke statement that paralleled the reporter's question.

I tend to drive to Aldershot, from near Gage Park. When the westbound York was ripped up it was horrible (though necessary) and I often took my chances over the Skyway in the morning... or if I really felt like gambling it was Eastport across the lift bridge.

But I think it will take some time for it to be less convenient to drive to Burlington. The people who won't, at the start, will be those who primarily take transit and those who would rather not deal with the traffic stress. Days when there is an incident on the bridge will be hell for all commuters.
