Nothing new here. See Confederation, Centennial, etc. Before that King, Queen, Princess, Victoria, Albert, Brock, Simcoe ...
I wouldn't equate those at all. Naming a street after a person in the area's history (putting aside the potential for that person to be considered problematic at some point in the future) or a significant national milestone has a lot more personality to it than a vague, anonymous buzzword like technology or progress.

I was thinking more of the names being of the times, rather than the particular era. And more national figures like Albert, Simcoe and Brock, rather than the more regional ones like Dundas, Jarvis, and even Mowat.
 
This project will take three years as scheduled to build a single interchange. There is no chance this will expedite work that should have been completed over a decade ago.
They just don't want to build it. 407 East/412/418 was done in a reasonable time which proves highways can still be built in Ontario on time and on budget. That is 70 km total.

Presumably they want to pay for it over a period of time. I'm sure they could expedite it if they want.
 
I hadn`t actually realised that they closed the ski hill in Hamilton. Chedoke? But I haven`t skiied since the 2000s.
Actually, Hamilton had two ski hills, Chedoke and the one we used to go down with truck intertubes and toboggans, at King's Forest (from the east mountain escarpment face to the golf course).
