Connectivity conclusions Connectivity in terms of population per lane over a major body of water shows: Kingston will become more connected with the expansion of the 401 With comparator cities of Sarnia and Ottawa, Kingston is in 2nd place We will get into first place with the expansion of the 401 Compared to other Canadian cities outside Ontario with a major body of water to cross, Kingston is in 2nd place In this data set Kingston is currently 4th in interconnectivity Kingston will get into the number one spot without spending any money. Kingston is already one of the most connected cities in the world
