I don't think that the province is worried too much about long-sold developments along a transportation corridor. There are probably a few reasons we won't see 110 anytime soon, but I don't think that's one of them.
I remember buying in Tuscany in 2002 and there were signs warning that Stoney (then undivided, traffic lights, didn't go very far) would become part of a major ring road. I don't think that rssistance by residents against an increased speed limit would be successful - they'd just play the "you knew about this when you bought" card.
That being said, I have noticed increased road noise on the new West leg where others have mentioned it. I guess it'll be a few years before re-paving is necessary, so maybe it will wear down a bit?
