QEW southwest along the lake to Hamilton
QEW West
The lakeshore run. Housing age drops sharply and then rises again: newer detached stock through Oakville and Burlington, then Hamilton, where much of the stock predates the war and the substrate question changes with it.
Out from Mississauga. 5 municipalities on the route, 9 districts and communities inside them. 14 of the 14 have a confirmed operational position, 14 have a page of local detail.
A confirmed position means the owner of this business stated, on a date, what coverage of that municipality means — not that a job there has been photographed and published. Both are on the record and they are not the same thing. The dates are in /api/v1/markets.

Before you call about a market on this route
The published price bands are the same everywhere in Ontario, and New York State has its own published bands in US dollars with the crossing already inside them. Within a country, distance shows up in the written price after the measure, not as a different rate card. If you are holding quotes already, put them side by side before comparing the totals — the usual reason two quotes disagree is that they are pricing different work.
Everything on the other routes, and the full model behind these statuses, is readable as data at /api/v1/markets and /api/v1/corridors. This page is served as clean Markdown at /corridors/qew-west.md.

A senior estimator measures, then writes one price. It does not move afterwards.
