Same will happen in Lakeview, I am sure, if they actually do get to build the darn thing finally.
Totally different situations. Woodbine et al had a wide swath set aside for the ring road, no homes had to be removed.

There is literally not enough room between the yards in lakeview and the property line of the reserve to put in the ring road. Houses will have to be demolished, perhaps as many as 500.
