Halton drivers have been dealing with years of Dundas St widening and construction, expected to wrap up in 2027. Given there’s no mention of a BRT in their construction plans for the public to digest, are voters going to have a meltdown when Metrolinx finally gets this going and pushes to rip their road up again?

It won't impact Halton for decades.
 
Halton is mostly just going to have curb lanes repainted.
Even Mississauga is using curb lanes west of Confederation where the ROW will end and it will be decades before the ROW will get to the 403. Density is not there to meet ML requirements for an ROW to Waterdown for a few decades.

One thing to keep in mind, as long as Ford is in office, removing a traffic lane is not on radar like bike lanes. Unless there a bus passing a point every 3 minutes let alone 5, an ROW is not needed. Jump-ques are only needed for stops at this time.

I would have liked the row to get to mavis.

Steeles in Brampton is currently below 4 minute headways and once the LRT opens it will drop below 3 minute headways.
