Fully agree with this - while I'm rarely down in that area during school hours, if I am (either biking or driving), it's horrible.  I can't imagine the anxiety of being an LRV operator going through here...

They should formalize the crossing point on the south side of the Kitchener Market platform - put crosswalk lines and make curb cuts. Then, if necessary, maybe put solid barriers across the midline to reduce casual midblock crossing.

That’s another incorrectly constructed location. Either the platform should not have tactile markers at the south end, or the crossings should be fully constructed over to the sides of the road.

But really only the second of those alternatives makes any sense. There is no justification for not allowing access to the platform from the south end.
