There is zero chance that it will be faster to get to 690 west by taking the community grid instead of staying on 481/81 to the eastern end of 690 and taking that. I count at least 10 traffic lights between where 81 would peel off at Rock Cut Rd and 690 via the community grid. That's about 3 miles. You're leaving off the 1.5 miles of grade-level boulevard from Rock Cut Rd to downtown that won't be the community grid "proper" but will still not be an expressway and will have cross streets to navigate (like Brighton Ave and Colvin St).

I do agree that the solution is not totally ideal for someone trying to get from south of the city to west of the city, or vice versa, but I do still think that there is infrastructure currently in place to not make it a total nightmare and hopefully make it a minor inconvenience, at worst. I also happen to believe that it is the best solution for the city, which should have a positive effect on the entire community as a result.
