A few more thoughts to consider....

1) Centennial Parkway has been under construction for most of the summer. A lot of traffic has avoided this road and used the RHVP, as drivers learned that despite congestion on the RHVP, its still faster on the RHVP to get where they are going

2) How many driver trips that use The RHVP / Linc do not originate or terminate within the city limits? (ie people using it as a shortcut between Brantford and Niagara bound). Seems irresponsible to finance a "solution" to a problem that is not caused by any residents or people who are employed within the city.

3) The most congested area of the RHVP in afternoon rush hour is between Barton and King St. The distance between the 3 interchanges (Queenston being the 3rd) is very small. As many people here have pointed out, what are the ways we can reduce the source of the congestion?.....Can the city explore the benefits of Ramp Meters, as I’ve seen many times myself more than 10 cars all trying to merge all at once, followed by no cars for more than 30 seconds?
