A final comment:  You'll notice the blue dotted trail that seems to connect PCT Route 702 east of downtown Port Colborne with Ridgeway in Fort Erie.  This is the Friendship Trail, the former pathway of the CNR Dunnville Subdivision rail line (ex-Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway).  If a more direct express route between Port Colborne and Fort Erie would be desired, this could be turned into a bus rapidway while keeping the trail active.
