1) The stop bar for bikes heading to Joseph. I assume this stop bar is used for both directions on Queen, and not just the one ijmorlan was referring to ("stop line south (left, on the plans) of Joseph"). There is a triangle shape immediately left of this stop bar in the construction drawings, but I can't imagine this is a concrete curb. First, it would blocking the existing retirement home driveway, and second the elephant feet on the drawings wouldn't be needed if it was a curb. This means cyclists waiting there are floating directly in the path of Queen St traffic who fail to follow the shifting lane:
I didn’t see that other stop bar that is parallel to Queen. I’m a bit confused by that one. Conceptually, it seems clear it’s for waiting to cross Queen; but there is no space behind it for more than one bike to wait conveniently. And I agree it’s in a rather exposed location.
